Transformers: The Ride - Summer 2013

[Disneyhead]

Do they normally do that? I don't honestly know what their procedure is, so I'm asking from a position of not knowing whether Universal would ignore this if it were not accurate, or squash anything related to it?

Well they squashed the American Scenic concept art that they used to bid the project. After AS didn't get the bid for FJ, they put the concept art on their site. And even though it wasn't what was being built, Uni. had them pull it.

In their past, if it's legit....you'd be hearing from legal with talk of C&D's. If they are so adamant of people not taking pictures of a public area in the park....why would they let something from the internal files go without any peep?

Hmm.....

So at this point we can assume that 1.) It's fake and Uni. doesn't care. Or 2.) It's legit and Uni. wants it out there.

 

[Brian G.]

So it can be assumed nobody has heard from Universal's Legal Department about this one?

If it's still up, than I highly doubt it. You don't ignore C&D's.

 

[BamaToTheBone]

Well, if you have common sense you don't. But as I'm fond of saying, common sense ain't that common.

If it's still up, than I highly doubt it. You don't ignore C&D's.

Then to circulate it to Lee and Marni first, hmmm. Weren't they also the first ones to mention the now famous false trail year-round haunt leak. Me thinks Uni. Is funning with us.

Ultimate troll move by Universal: This is another false trail. "Okay guys, you win, it's Transformers." ... ... ... "Lol jk!"

Alright everyone lets talk about what happened last night and what happened this morning.

Last night as I was sitting down to dinner an image popped up and I said yeah ok. I took it down within about 3-4 minutes to avoid any possible Universal security guards showing up to my home. If you didn't laugh at that then you haven't been reading this thread close enough. Anyways within minutes the wild fire erupted and my inbox blew up. I asked those who made a copy of it to not share it with anyone as I had a "plan". In keeping with this plan I asked many of our more in the know members as well as some Universal friends of mine :wave: We awaited there feedback and I left the image up backstage on the staff forum. We knew we wouldn't get a better idea until today so we left it that and basically shut down the conversation about it and went about our business. What we didn't know is there was going to be a weasel among us who copied the image behind the scenes and proclaimed to the world its TRANSFORMERS and I knew it all along...

That weasel was our former correspondent KingEric aka douchebag. We the staff had no idea he was a correspondent for another site nor did we know he was taking important staff only info. All of a sudden he had a complete lack of updates the moment SS44 started to come down. It was like he disappeared off the face of the planet. His explanation was that he was busy and had no time to get updates for the site. Us being the understanding bunch said its ok just let us know whats going on. Again what we didn't know is he was taking info posted backstage and using it to his advantage and was visiting the parks to post updates on other sites. He has taken intel, pictures, and now a highly controversial image from us only to post it on another site to make him look like the ultimate insider. So for a group of guys that maintain this site and work extremely hard to bring you all the updates we do, we felt like it was slap in the face. We had been betrayed by one of our own and it sucks.

Speaking of that image... Remember we had insiders and friends take a look at it to see if it was real. Guess what.....FAKE! Not one insider or friend said it was real and these people had zero idea what anyone else was saying. So what have we learned at Orlando United. 1. The image is a fake 2. King Eric is a jerk 3. What goes around comes around 4. Autobots are still rolling out!

Finally I just want to say thank you to our members and we apologize for letting the scum of the web be a part of our team.

Thanks for the clear-up! Clarity is good :smiley:

EPIC EPIC EPIC :happy:

 

[BamaToTheBone]

Not a thing to apologize for. Everyone gets fooled every now and then.

 

[Disneyhead]

I am still not wholly convinced its fake. With them actually building Transformers and the strictness they are already controlling images concerning this project, I believe they would squash this in a heartbeat if were fake.

 

[Vyrus]

Epic rant HTF, thouroughly enjoyed that :thumbs:

PS, I can't wait to see this up on Screamscape tommorrow as difinitive proof its real

 

[Teebin]

Ok, I just did some peeking... one thing I caught is the logo for that company on the paperwork. I see something completely different from the one on their website. The R is a different font and last I checked, a company doesn't mess up its own logo, no matter how simple.

Also, I went and did some peeking to see if it was really posted on that other website. It is. Then I came back here and wondered what time it was posted here last night. It appears that it was posted at 8:10PM. Then I went back to the other website and found that the first mention of it was at 9:13 PM, with that LEE guy stating confidently, "December 2013!" and everyone going ooooooooh!

:wave:

That's why we love you, Teebin.

 

[ChrisFL]

Just to be clear, we're talking about the blueprint image and not the "December 2013" ad right?

 

[figment1986]

Unless it was....

5D!

more like a zillion D
*pays money to SeaWorld* :look:

 

[Vyrus]

Well the ad is just a crop from the blueprint :thumbs:

 

[figment1986]

Does anyone else find it curious that the picture is still up over at MiceChat? I mean, Universal had the American Scenic concept art jerked by noon during Potter 1.0. Or is Lutz and Co. ballsy enough to ignore a C&D request from UniLegal?

as a former person from over there... depends who they send it to... and which person is awake... and which person will do it... Lutz has nothing to do with micechat's stuff... that's his "& company" Dustysage, Fishbulb, and Monorail_man... :look:

and since they operate as a LLC, they better listen to them...

Alright everyone lets talk about what happened last night and what happened this morning.

Bravo... shame no one asked me since I recognized him from the other site long time ago. I still read their park jumpper and noticed similar photos and knew of his real name from way back when :look: maybe I should have mentioned something earlier. sorry :'(

CBS Orlando just ran a story, using the Chatting Mice photo..

 

[Teebin]

Just to be clear, we're talking about the blueprint image and not the "December 2013" ad right?

I was talking about a different website that continues to post the whole 'document'. Not a trim job.

 

[Vyrus]

Wow, now that a TV station has ran the story, we've got to get SOMETHING pretty soon hopefully :happy:

 

[Jakemeister]

I heard lightning struck the crane today and it made the most god awfully scary noise.

 

[Vyrus]

Niiiiiiice too bad THAT won't be on video or a picture.
