Transformers: The Ride - Summer 2013

Do I see some queue theming there? :thumbs:

The N.E.S.T. themeing looks great!

Am I missing something?

Recesses in back wall?

Interior unthemed queue wall is what their looking at.

I meant that you can see there's already some shape to the walls in there. As far as I remember, from seeing in videos, that's as much theming as the walls get in the queue, isn't it? The rest is lights and screens, no?

EDIT: Never mind, I just re-watched a video and what I remember was it being very monochromatic and indistrial looking, but there is actually quite a bit more theming other than walls lights and screens. Anyways, I'm excited to see some of the indoor queue walls already in there

That's a lot of conduit!

HVAC duct-work has been insulated.

Other than the main corner entrance we have two passageways.

My question is..why hasn't Universal put anything teaser wise on the construction wall that tells everyone of the coming attraction? Just seems odd to me

Yeah, you'd think they would do something similar to what was done in Hollywood with the Bumblebee cutout and all. The only reason I could think of that they wouldn't do this would be that it's not really a high-traffic area right now. Granted, that will change in about six months.

I'd guess they want guests to just keep walking past this building for now. I know, to us it's obvious what this is, but there's plenty of people who are clueless about what this is gonna be, even on the official UOR Facebook page I've seen people wondering where they're gonna put the Transformers ride :bonk: But anyways, yeah, I'd say they don't wanna call more attention to the building yet. Not in its current state.

Although, working against my argument is the fact that they did decorate/tease the Despicable Me ride... But maybe that was just because it was in a central, in-your-face area of the park and they just wanted to decorate the wall. :shrug:

Signs have been up for Potter on the IAO side. Only makes sense see something on the Transformers site. Kinda past due by a few weeks actually.

I would count on some teasers either before the holiday rush or once Nest walls expand:thumbs:

I was just looking back at photos from DM construction. I thought I remembered that DM didn't get the minions and such advertisements on the walls until much later into the redo, but it seems like they were there at least this far at if not farther. With Universal having announced it, it seems odd they haven't placed something on the walls, but i'd guess they'll wait until January (although I wouldn't be surprised to see something out for holiday crowds as either as HTF said), which by then the building will be fully enclosed.

 

[Splatter]

With how crazy everything is I think it is just more of something that is not high on their priority list. They are getting the most out of their 100 years of Universal right now. ha.

For all you construction junkies, I just thought you would like to see this. It is the Dr. Phillips Performing Arts Center construction site in Downtown Orlando. They really like their cranes.

Update from AmusementPics.....

The side facing the lagoon is getting walled up:

I'm following the DPPAC, SkyHouse, and N Orange Apartments Construction downtown then add Universal's Construction, Disney's and Sea Worlds! Orlando is Crane City!
