Transformers: The Ride - Summer 2013

[Swiminn6]

I thought the way the building is diagonal, leaving a large rectangle space, was built for Optimus. Didn't think it was going to be literally right above the entrance where those four "openings" now appear.

Really hope they have a soft in Mid April.. It's a long shot but you never know!!!

Also, do you think the opening will be like the one in USH?

I would expect it will be much bigger than USH. They will want the NY media to cover it... perhaps. I would also think that once it opens, they will begin promoting WW II from within the park.

They may have something BIG other than Potter to star teasing after Transformers opens that would be opening in 2014.

Finally saw it in person today. The building is HUGE! Pictures don't do it justice.

Curiouser and curiouser.

My thought is that with the large influx of visitors for Tranformers they will want the word to be spread that they should return the following summer as well. It would be a wasted opportunity to do otherwise. Of course, we shall see!

Will it be JP or something else?

HTF was hinting at something else.

Shrek is the worst thing in the park IMO. It gets old after the first time.

Anything seems possible with Uni at the minute.

I've only ever been on it once, and that was enough for me.

True lol i mean you got transformers and springfield this year, HP 2.0 and JP expansion next year AND MORE?!! that 1.5 billion Universal Orlando has to spend is a lot of moneyy. Transformers and HP 2.0 alone is a little over 640 million together. I'm not sure what the Springfield expansion will cost or the JP expansion but i still see a lot of money left after all that. Even maybe a couple more attractions within the next 4 to 5 years. Honestly though, i would not be surprised if they decided to bring King Kong back to the park in the future like i think they should. And i know im starting to dream now but if they did i would love to see a mix of the Kong attraction in Cali and the old Kong. How amazing would that be??!!

I don't know if Kong will be a good fit where Disaster stands, plus Disaster, in it's current incarnation, is a pretty recent attraction. I don't think we'll be seeing it go very soon. I think Kong would be amazing, just like Jaws, if they were included in the rumored themed water park. I hope they still have the big Kong saved up somewhere.

I managed twice over 2 trips, I just walk straight by without giving it a second look, same with Twister although I quite like Disaster.

Back on topic, Is the interior a carbon copy of the others? Iv'e never ridden any so doesn't matter one bit to me. I was just curious if they were likely to make any little tweaks, adjustments or improvements?

They said the queue won't be a copy.
