Seems like just yesterday I discovered the SS44 demo NoC. Incredible how fast this has happened.

Just add up the number of shifts those contractors have worked and you'll find it's staggeringly fast construction. Most projects are worked on from 7am until 5pm Monday through Friday. These guys have been working what 3 shifts a day/7 days a week since late June? Assuming they only shut down construction for holidays that's ALOT of work. That works out to over 500 days of work done in just under 7 months. If you would have told anyone last year that Universal would have SS44 demoed and a taller building with a world class state of the art attraction built inside and fully operational in less than a year they would have thought you were nuts :lol: I'm anxiously awaiting the facade construction and of course being able to experience the attraction here in Orlando. Thank you for that find Reel. :thumbs: I was always hoping something would be done with SS44.

It's gotta be longer than that. These contractors, if our rumors are true (which I have no doubt in), will shift over to start working on Jurassic Park.

OMG, I was looking through old pictures on my phone and when I was looking at the pics from my HHN trip I took one of this building when it was JUST getting the second floor added! HHN does not seem that long ago and just comparing what it looked like then to now is just mind blowing.

I was going by what HTF said in the comments before. They are really considering pushing back JP expansion in order to get finished with the HP 2.0 earlier.

Its kinda scary how fast its going. Construction in Florida isnt the greatest when it comes to um quality.
I'd rather wait longer for a ride than have it built fast.

I'm hoping its different for theme parks. From what I've seen with residential and commercial construction in Florida, speed and cheapness or just plain incompetence is the norm.

I've never really cared for building anything fast, be it cars, houses, buildings, rides...

Well its an all metal building so there is little wait time, like for motar or concrete to set up, I agree that sometimes things go a little too fast but it is really just an assembly line when it comes to that kind of construction.

Besides a different theme and story how is the Transformers ride different than Spider-Man?

For a lot of fans like me, it really doesn't matter. TF is a well known franchise, has some great characters, with plenty of action scenes that will make this ride unique in its own way. USO needed some more attractions, imo, and I'm glad to see TF being added. It gives the guests more quality rides to experience and shows Disney that USO isn't something that can't be ignored and dismissed as it was years ago. After everything is done to both parks, even the most diehard Disney fan won't be able to dismiss what has been done.

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to see multiple clones of every ride, but I applaud what USO has done and look forward to riding TF.

Transformers has more screens than real sets. TF is also a much faster paced attraction than Spidey. If interested here is my review of the attraction from my Cali trip.
