Transformers: The Ride - Summer 2013

[Themeparkvigilante]

& on the HRRR side last time I was there, so no, your not the only one feeling anxious about it!!

 

[Mr.Auror]

I'm guessing Optimus and Bumblebee will be the last things to come? The "cherry on top?"

 

[Tim]

God I hope something goes on that steel framing, it's so unnecessary and out of place. And was it confirmed that we are also getting a Bumblebee statue? I thought it was just OP.

 

[Accio Butterbeer]

Don't know if I'm still the only person freaking out about that white strip of paint that has yet to be painted on that singular support beam on the lagoon side.. is it just me?
Just that small lack of paint alone is KILLING me.

Why is it killing you?

My sources tell me that Bumblebee will also be placed on the building. They (BB & OP) are both onsite and have been for sometime now.

Any time frame when?

 

[TheMackMachine]

The moment the OP and BB statues are on the building, either the ride has opened, or guests will tear down the wall and climb up for an autograph. They have to be realistic.

The ultimate "dream" TF building exterior finishing touches-

Helicopter on roof- Teebins idea
Energon detectors- as seen in 1 of my mock photos
Evac- same statue as Singapores
Transformer hanging off side of building
Bumblebee gaurding the gift shop
NEST tanks/jeeps on the ground all around the grounds of the building
Optimus' semi trailer on side of building
Various other autobots in vehicle form all around building

 

[bobwadd]

Any time frame when?

No time frame as of yet. I really hope my source has the "both of them" part right.

I would also like to add security beacons on the sides of the building and barbed-wire fences at least surrounding the overflow. :thumbs:

Awesome, thanks! :happy:

Why is it killing you?

Because of its location. It's pretty high up and somewhat out of the way. Seeing as most of the work going on is at ground level, it just seems as though they've missed it.
Although now, because they are adding new "support beams" to either side of the front of the building, I think they'll patch it up before moving on to another aspect of construction.

It will be interesting to see.

I'd find it odd that Coup and Woodbury both mentioned Optimus being on the building and not Bumblebee, if he is coming.

That seems like a hot mess honestly. I'd definitely like the energon detectors, but damn all of those vehicles would make for a super cluttered building.

Yes, please. God the queue is so ridiculous. Its almost as little design as a HHN queue and those are always just done in whatever space they find.

Since when has an overflow queue had to be decorated? Almost all of the outside extended queues have no decoration at all. All I want is an awning and it'll be fine.

I make this exact point in another thread I'm in. The problem is its not about decoration for me. There's just no borders of it. It just sits in the middle of a street corner.

 

[figment1986]

I'm expecting signage of some sort onto the metal bit... since that side of the building can be seen from the parking garage and a huge chunk of USF.

I always liked the idea of the attraction starting as soon as you enter the queue. Switchbacks at a NY street corner doesn't scream "top secret government facility" to me . A simple themed security fence could fix that problem.

And because it's so easy to access from the rest of the park, line hopping will occur which is a big no-no.

Same here, but I'll be there the week after. I swear, if this isn't open by then, I am going to make my family stay in Orlando till it is.
