Transformers: The Ride - Summer 2013

[BJCool]

To be fair, that store kinda just carries anything sci-fi related. Seriously, I don't understand the Halo merchandise or Star Wars at a Uni park.

Yeah, that store carries pretty much every sci-fi/comic franchise's merch. I love how Disney fanboys on other Epcot forums are wetting themselves about the UK pavilion getting Dr. Who merch when in fact the T2 store has had a lot of that stuff for years.


EDIT: Some new construction photos from Orlando Sentinel....

I guess I'll de-lurk to share this picture I took on Sept 17 with my phone.
This is the onsite board we all wanted a closer look at.
It appears to me to be the usual array of permits, safety notices, workers comp posters etc.

Thanks for the pic.

That is actually the back wall of the document shed. What we are interested in is inside the structure. You can get a pictures as the ends are open.

 

[Manx27]

Oh, sorry about that.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

Why do I get the feeling we're going to see tarps up over that opening in the next few days?

 

[bobwadd]

Oh, sorry about that.

Nothing to be "sorry" about. Any construction picture is a good picture.

Well, it should have already been installed as we discussed this twice before in the thread.

Maybe they put fake prints up in the shed :wave: hoping we would take pictures and post them. You know, the prints for the "Fluffy Unicorn Family Fun Ride"

New construction photos from Orlando Rocks.

They've started putting up ducting for air/ventilation beneath the second floor base, and that appeared to be what they were doing most of the night while I was over in that area tonight.

Looks like some interior construction on the second floor of Transformers is going on tonight.

If its too fluffy and their kid dies, do the parents get a refund?

Orlando Theme Parks News reports that the park map has been changed to signify the fact that the soundstage is no longer there. And just like when Jaws/Amity began getting demolished, Uni has chosen to put a greenspace illustration on the map in SS44's location.

Additionally, some construction pics from @OrlandoInformer:
