Nope. Monsters is listed as something else. Donkey technically was as well.

Here are some new pictures from today.

ReelJustice. HOW are they able to say that a portion of SS44 will be dismantled??? Portion??? I don't even see a "particle".

Who knows? The actual demolition permit called for the whole thing though. And the bs they fed Jason Garcia was either PR speak or ignorance.

PR speak as we initially expected. Wanted to hide that something big was coming.

Nice centering. Great pics too. What was that crane lifting in the first picture? It looked wide.

Also that crane looks to be about the same height as the Rockit tower.

^ I saw the picture of that truck driving to the construction site and automatically thought Optimus Prime.

Didn't see King_K already posted this. LOL.

I do believe that may be sheet pile drivers on the flatbed.

Left = Crane or excavator mounted pile driver.
Center = Mobileram pile driver. This mounts on a specialty track vehicle that has yet to arrive on site.
Right = Driver power unit.

OF, can you confirm this.

Can someone help me understand these elevators in the Transformers ride, I never followed construction very closely in California. They aren't part of the ride per say... So is the majority of the ride on the second floor soley for the purpose of saving space....que and loading station on the first floor? If so that's a hell of a lot of weight on the second floor....... I'll be interested to see the framework. Again help me out here if I'm way off. Thanks

^ Someone pull up the steel work pics of California. The building looked like a train trestle before it was skinned. It is basically 1/2 show per floor.

Here's a few pics from Westcoaster.

Here are some pics from westcoaster showing the construction of TF.

The last one is a piece from one of the elevators before it was installed.

King_K beat be to it.

Thanks, the second floor looks like it has a higher ceiling clearence than the bottom. I'm guessing most of the higher intensity scenes happen on the second floor where there is more room for the RV to move vertically and larger sets/screens? WOW that structual framing means business. It looks like it could hold the space shuttle... Are there interior support frames as well on the first a second floors?

Edit: I see interior support for the elevator shafts in cruiseships pics, thanks

Me?
I know nothing I'm just a dumb framer who noticed a few things, about construction, the twenty plus years I have been doing it.

If the OF was not me, please pardon the interuption... and blog on.

The first floor goes partially underground, that's why the ceiling appears lower. I doubt that the FL version would go underground because of the water table issue. It would likely be all above ground.

^ oh I see thanks! So you can't feel the elevators going up and down during the ride at all? Those that have rode...

 

[JungleSkip]

From reviews I've read, you don't feel them at all.
