Its got something to do with media, whether it be a webcam or a social media type deal I'm not sure. A similar camera was used for the construction time lapse video of Hogwarts.

This, kind sir, is the extended unofficial outdoor queue (not pictured is the 45m official outdoor switchback queue)

So, my impressions - first load was slow and weird compared to Spider-Man (Wonder if one VTU was down?). But where as Spider-Man builds to a climax, Transformers forgoes plot, logic and sets and dumps you right into a CGI-created climax right away (and I mean that in a good way). The ride is similar but way more intense than Spider-Man - you really dont have time to catch your breath you're just whirling from one screen to another (and those are BIG screens). The elevators are well-done (unless you look around you'd never notice). Rode it three times, and people seemed to scream a lot more on this than SM -- I think thats a good sign. It's just different enough to make it worth having both here and the ride will be INSANELY popular.... at least until next year

OMG I can't believe you actually posted something!!
