Great news, I'll be there June 3-4. I was beginning to get a little nervous.

So, I'll probably be at the park for opening, leave for a bit around mid day, and will likely be back in the afternoon. See you all there, ready for battle.

Amazing ride! Definitely the best ride at the park! Pacing of the ride is spot on. You have no idea that the elevators even exist. Great queue theming. Rode it 3 times! Quality of the projections and the CGI is top of the line and almost real looking. Loading is very quick which should make the line move fast!

Great to hear such positive reactions! I can't wait to ride this myself soon!! :happy:

BTW, to those TMs who just went... Did anyone catch a glimpse of the actual OP statue?

 

[darkridelover]

There were no work lights or crane set up as of 10pm for Optimus and no visible work crews around.

its under a huge black tarp but you can definitely tell hes under there--all I could really see was that hes huge, bigger than I would have expected!

To kind of give everyone an idea of the size of Optimus, here is a picture I took this morning. What you see here is Optimus lying on his back (his head laying towards us) and his right arm sticking straight out. That's what's popping up over the barricade is just his right arm alone.

Where is he going?

 

[Andy]

Right here front and center above the entrance

 

[Accio Butterbeer]

Can't wait to see PRIME up there! Will his eyes light up or will he talk or anything?

 

[canobie#1]

It would have been cool on the roof too.
We need a transformer character on the cartoon list^

His eyes will light up and he has an independent light package but if he moves that's news to me.

Sounds good to me! Just having a decent sized/looking PRIME up there makes me happy! And if for some reason he does move that would be a nice surprise! Btw HTF I know this is off topic but is there any new details you can tell us about the Disaster refurb? I'm so excited to see that updated and made into a better ride experience because its the only ride I don't like at Universal. If it was up to me KONG would be coming back to replace that ride lol

So is this model shown on the Today Show the Optimus that is going on the roof?

 

[Andy]

I've seen something different then that...
