Haven't seen it posted so here is a shot of WESH's aerial coverage from TPR:

Additionally, AmusementPics stopped by UOR recently and posted some great updates......

The Bumblebee statue in front of the main archway:

More importantly, the progress of the actual attraction itself:

Interior wall pieces now line the elevator sections:

Anyone have any predictions on when this will go through technical rehearsals?

I'd love to know as well, but we've never seen a project move this quickly. My guess would be two weeks before open, at the latest.

Are they aiming to have this open by Memorial Day weekend?

That would be really cool to see happen. At the rate it's being built that is a real possibility.

Idk if anybody had noticed but the SCOOP vehicles for Spiderman had some funky looking robotic headlights on the vehicle. They definitely were not the normal SCOOP headlights they have on there and i think it was a very subtle hint towards Transformers. I mean this thing looked like the actual eye from a transformer, sorry no picture :/

I saw that yesterday too and I went and looked at pictures of Evac and the scoop headlights are the same as his eyes.

So they're already doing technical rehearsals using Spider-Man. Makes sense for something that is going to go up this fast.

I noticed the Scoops had TF-like eyes when I was down in the beginning of October as well. Didn't really think anything of it because of the recent refurb.

Can anyone tell me what that smaller section of steel is that's jutting out from the building on the ground floor? Is that for the queue?

You talking about the section sticking out on the left side of this picture? My guess is that would be for the entrance.

Does anyone else think that the Bumblebee statue looks kind of..awkward? I mean it's awesome and I'm glad it's there, but I think an action pose would have been better.

I think it appears to be an entrance as well.

Yeah, his arms are too high I think.

Just popped on to theme park insider and saw their story about uni confirming transformers and it had a picture of the EVAC and the headlights on the EVAC were the ones I saw on Spidey yesterday.

Better late than never.

From Thursday night . . .

You think the bumblebee status will be use at the ride entrance?

 

[Cruiseshipfan]

They said that Optimus will be guarding the entrance. Not saying bumbkebee wont be there. Although I think that statue already has a purpose somewhere are its the exact same one that spent time at City Walk at USH.

 

[redy2468]

I wonder if it will have HD 4K projections ?

 

[Sideshow Mike]

It will. The USH version does.
