Transformers: The Ride - Summer 2013

[Spideyfreak]

If they say they can't give anymore info I think it's safe to say, yes it's wrong to keep asking. Lets knock this nonsense off and focus on the apparent altered Transformers ride path and the not so obvious remarks from Spideyfreak.

Ah yes! About the altered track path:

After analyzing the pictures again, I can with 99% confidence tell you that that is the exact layout of the first floor track for USH and Singapore.

See, now we're having an informative discussion Thanks Spidey!

Thanks for the compliments guys. :wave:

I only wish I lived closer to USF so I could go more often.

And if you look at the first pic, you can see a large pit. This is the "down" lift. If you look towards the back of the construction site to the left, you can see wooden fencing surrounding something. This is where the pit for the first set of lifts is located.

Very exciting stuff!!!

Wow I wonder if it's TFs! Universal should just announce it.

 

[Spideyfreak]

^It may look like a duck, but it can still go "Moo."

 

[Millionaire2K]

Yeah we get Kong 3D!

Will someone ever so graciously show me where the ride path is?? I cannot distinguish between ride layout and everything else that is going on! Thanks!

 

[Spideyfreak]

It's just the concrete path that has been laid out within the construction area.

It's just the concrete path that has been laid out within the construction area.

That's what I had initially thought it to be but I also saw a few vacant areas that resembled a "layout". Cool, thanks!

It is interesting that the ride path (even though I am not sure what I am seeing is it) would be poured prior to the rest of the floor. Perhaps it is a more substantial pour and substructure than the rest of the building?

Perhaps we should look for mega rebar on the second floor following a path?

 

[Hatetofly]

When they did the ride in Hollywood and Singapore I somewhat remember being able to see the concrete path very early on. Then again it's been awhile...

 

[USO92]

Maybe a few things still needed touching up down lower but they still needed a pathway to do above ground construction?

 

[Millionaire2K]

Our building will look like this.

Am I the only one that notices, thanks to the above photos, that the USH version also has a corner that is angled-in? In recent photos people have been saying that it looks like the corner that faces San Fran looks angled based on the steel.

Could it be that they are going that literal on replicating the plans from Hollywood?

I always just thought it would be an exact clone. Hopefully with just a better front.

I noticed that as well. It appears as though the entrance will be on the lagoon side. This is going on memory from January 2009, so I may be wrong.

Does anyone have any idea why they have that diagonal section? It seems a bit strange when all the buildings around it are basic rectangles (Hollywood version) and the one building has a diagonal part for no apparent reason.

Questions, and maybe this is just me being stupid here but, where they are laying the apparent floor, is that where they dug up the giant ditch? Wasn't the bottom supposed to be maintenance bay? In those pictures, where is the maintenance bay? Looks like the floor is being laid right on top of the ground, or is that the ditch they dug and we are looking at the beginnings of the maintenance bay?

 

[Millionaire2K]

You are looking at the ground floor. The bacement is under the steel you see in this pic. Note the hole down on the left:

Sorry, it was intended as a joke, yet it did come out sounding kinda snarky. My apologies.

No worries man haha.
