Transformers: The Ride - Summer 2013

Unless AP previews are on the 1st?

I guess we'll know soon...I'm going to keep checking the site until they are up.

Passholders receive exclusive access to experience Transformers™ - The Ride 3D and Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit® in Universal Studios from June 9 - June 16, 2013 from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.

This is a technical rehearsal, subject to occasional delay, closure or cancellation.

Hey, we get Rockit access too!

I kinda thought that the AP previews started on the 9th. That is the first day the Annual Passholder Autobot sticker goes on sale at the TF Vault. :thumbs: I was hoping for this week but there is still a chance for softs.

They've picked the most problematic ride as a backup for their newest ride's possible downtime during that hour

^Well, seeing as though it says this is a technical rehearsal, I'd doubt they would wait just for us annual passholders to have a first official one.

Hmmm... just announced that the today show is coming back for the grand opening of this thing, unless of course there is some disaster somewhere...

OU's twitter just posted a pic of Optimus being delivered but not yet installed

Id LOVE if they offered free tickets again

Will be there June 15 for the AP previews. Hopefully the majority of the issues will be worked out by then.

Thanks for the info! I'm gonna try to be there the 15th or 16th. I hope they extend those hours, though... I'm not really a morning person but I will do what I have to do so I can finally ride this, ASAP!

Ha! That's some good logic! I never thought about that... Well, I was really thinking that softs would start earlier than these dates.

They did, that and flights and the whole 9-yards. Go to their website.

I'm going to the Bahamas the same exact dates as the AP preview:doh::'(

Sometimes the simplest guess is the correct one.

That right there should be used as a commercial by Universal Orlando.

Absolutely! someone should be finding her

BTW, the fine print reads:

"Access is for Passholders only and requires a valid annual pass for admission into Universal Studios. Exclusive Ride Times begin one (1) hour prior to Universal Studios Florida regular opening hour, valid only at Transformers-The Ride 3D and Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit®. Universal Express ride access is not available during Passholder Exclusive Ride Times. Additional restrictions may apply."

This just says that you need your AP for admission to the park, not to access the ride... I wonder if on-site hotel guests, who also have early entry, will get to ride during these dates :shrug:

 

[Jwhee]

If I go at night on the 16th will I still be able to ride?

 

[PourJudgment]

I'll be in the park tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing OP in person

 

[Andy]

Lots of Nest employees showing up for work today Hopefully these guys will get to ride today. We won't but hopefully they will.

In all fairness I did try to lead the conversation that way when someone said it could be to hide AP or TM previews:

It doesn't go all the way over the the building, so it wouldn't be for that.

And the queue poles aren't actually set up inside.
