Nice to meet those who I got to meet and I will have some pretty cool pictures later upon my return home.
 
Thanks for the impressions everyone.

Any suggestions or rumblings from little birdies about what the situation will be like this weekend? I'm here in Orlando through Monday (flying back to New York on Tuesday) and I really, really want to be able to have my girlfriend go on this before we head back.

I think the only way this wont soft open tomorrow is if a freak accident occurs :lol: or atleast thats what Im hoping as well haha
 
Compared to USH's version which one is better? Obviously they're the same but with minor upgrades to ours but in overall which one was the best?

This one is the best mr dumb dumb. Geeez... newer projectors, newer building, bigger mascot. This is the flagship Universal park. (and btw, I was just slapping you on the wrist with angel hair pasta... I mean no offense.)

:lol: Teebs, I've been around long enough to figure that out :thumbs:
 
^ Yeah... the OP mascot statue really looks good from just beneath... it is 50-100' away that bothers me. Whatever, the money is spent, and it is better than a slap in the face (and pretty much better than any park anywhere is doing right now).

One thing that bugs me about OP is that he stays on during CineSpec. The building goes off but he stays on and it's a little distracting at times.

Somebody else had the same idea to get a picture of Optimus Prime after the crowds started clearing out. I'll let him post his pictures. Good meeting you!
 
Ok official wait time guys... Cant really tell you about the outside line because they had us all waiting out there like cows getting ready to slaughter...let us all in at once and got in pretty far. when they opened the doors we were about 5 row in the extended queue(about half way) and made it all the way in to were the decepticon part is... then rode it again around 9:30 and entered right in the front and stopped... So from the door to the ride exactly was 35 min.. Not bad for inside queue line but kinda sucks after waiting long outside...
 
Yesterday I waited from about 2 sets into the extended block by Monsters, and that was just about an hour from entrance to ride. Of course, Express use was pretty minimal, so it would likely be closer to 90 on a day with typical Express usage.
