Transformers: The Ride - Summer 2013

[Teebin]

^ Exactly, Universal will avoid tearing out an expensive kitchen at all costs. If 44 turns out to be something big like Transformers, then I can well see monsters getting an expensive redesign.

^^^Yup. If it's Transofmers, I expect "Energon Cafe" will be on it's way, if I was a betting man.

And it will make money hand over fist.

Any pictures from today?! :rep:

I talked to someone on twitter that said he'd be going later. So hopefully we get some this evening.

Can't wait to try the "All Spark Platter" the "Bumblebee Tuna Sandwich"...don't forget the "Optimus Burger" and the "Megatron Chicken Fingers"

Found one shot on HHNRumors of the extended walls which now reach out to Monsters:

This is fascinating.

 

[Teebin]

Would the roof trusses of 44 be welded or bolted in place? Probably the cross braces are welded?

You might as well go all the way and offer an 'Optimus Prime Angus'.

Much better burger name :thumbs:

This is pretty awesome, Can't wait to see more.

I'd also like to see something along the lines of the Fast and Furious coaster/racer put back in that empty spot behind MIB. It's big enough.

Used to before all this started and when Jimmy Neutron was shut down it would only take me a few hours to get in and get done with Universal but seeing what they're doing now makes me think that come 2 or 3 years I'll actually have to spend a full two days in the parks. THAT...I don't mind whatsoever

I think it's safe to say USF is about to get the DCA treatment.

 

[USO92]

They need to add some extra landscaping and put some more attention into the beauty aspect of this London side and the parts of NY/SF, not saying much but just to brighten it up and make it a little more appealing

Yup.

I'll be interested to see how they handle announcements. Disney's strategy was to announce everything at once and allow excitement to build to a fever pitch until Carsland opened.

Now, with USF, I'd expect piecemeal announcements. People show up for the SS44 replacement late next year and see Potter being built, and later watch the announcement and plan another trip. Then when they come for Potter, they see KidZone being redone and plan another trip.

At this point, I'm just waiting for the announcement dominoes to start falling.

E.T. Is probably going real soon. I saw employees in the park with a black and white brochure of nothing but ET on it. And I heard talk too.

I'm pretty sure that ET is gonna be around for another while longer.

As for Monster's Cafe getting a remodeled. If it IS Transformers, they better have that Orange Energon drink from Hollywood. It looked delicious.

I'd assume ET will survive until at least Potter 2.0 opens. After that who knows.

And I'd assume even if TF opens and Monsters doesn't get a refurb, Energon will show up. Uni loves their specialty drinks.

World Expo if it isnt transformers would be my bet

From Martin over at WDWMagic:

Don't get too excited about 44.

Definitely decreases my high a bit, but hopefully whatever it is is decent.

 

[JungleSkip]

But I'm also being told from someone else that the plans are exciting. But no one has come close to what's going there. So there's that.
