That's just so lazy. Either make it a secret military base, or don't. Half doing it like this is just sad. It looks like a poor photoshop job someone did on a blank warehouse.

It's terrible.

And it's not going to get better.

I wish Creative understood how to theme exteriors.

I almost can't believe how far behind they remain in that department. If Comcast wasn't backing up dump trucks full of cash at the resort, I'd think this was a budget cut. But no way this wasn't intentional. It almost makes me worried about Springfield.

Eh, Springfield will be fine. Smaller buildings and all.

But this is freaking terrible. The only thing I can figure is that they have Nassal or someone too tied up to do an exterior. Whatever the case, I hope they do better on Jurassic Park.

:lol: some of y'all complain about the dumbest things :rofl: remember though that this exterior is far from finished and when it finally opens you'll see a difference. What did i post the other day and i keep posting...it's not finished yet :cheers: That's like looking at a Lego model when you're on step 5 of 275 and thinking "this looks like garbage". Of course it does right now..they still need to add all the weathering,bells and whistles and whatever is going in those holes cut into the bottom of the columns. Have patience young padawans..Master Coup will just surprise you yet :thumbs:

I believe that most people won't even know what NEST means, and the ones to do will just see it as, Oh, that is where the new Transformers ride is. It is better than a big mural. I think when the building is done it will be OK. Does it stick strictly with the canon, probably not. But I don't think anyone but the most ardent fans of the IP will care.

And yes, Memorial Day Weekend is what I am hearing as the Grand Opening.

Also remember, this is based off of a movie, a movie that we've seen, so therefore we know what "NEST" is. However if it was in "the real world", a civilian not knowing about the government hiding alien robot visitors would have no idea what nest is, let alone that it is a secret military instalation of some kind, so they wouldnt be thinking "Gee, look how well they hid this secret military instalation!" or, "I bet they hide huge bio-mechanical robots in there!" & remember, it cant look TOO nonchalant & just blend in by just looking like another building, as people might walk right by it without knowing what it is, or know that it is in fact an attraction. Not everyone grabs a park map that tells them where all of the rides are. So for the Transformers fan, once they see nest, they will know "Hey, there's the Transformers ride!" which is ALOT better than just a billboard/cut out that just says "Transformers The Ride" on all 4 sides of the building. Like I said, I already do like it, but give it a chance to be finished before judging. I just wanna ride it!!!!!!!!!!!

I could care less about canon. I don't like the films. I like the theme park. And this building is ugly. It's the lazy kind of design Universal has been working so hard to move past.

That's what I have been trying to say, you put it much better. Thanks.

My disappointment continues with each step closer to completion..

Meh, It's stuck between a soundstage and a fully themed land. It is kind of in no man's land as far as which section of the park it's in. They could have gone with a soundstage look to continue production central, or they could have gone with a fully themed city facade to continue the NYC area. I like it better than a soundstage and less than a fully themed facade. But my guess is a fully themed facade would have doubled the price, and Nassal is most likely too busy with 2 WWOHP Phase 1's and 1 WWOHP Phase 2 going all at the same time.

No, sorry. Not at this point.

And keep in mind that that date is barring any unforeseen problems. I hear testing/programming is going better than hoped, though.

A little birdy has told me a few about Transformers,

1. Grand Opening on Memorial Day Weekend - Disneyhead was ahead of me on that one :lol:
2. The gift shop is targeted to open in March
3. Stilt Characters training is underway and should be seen in front of the attraction in March, around the same time as the gift shop opens
4. The opening team is being assembled
5. Spring Break could see limited softs :look:
