Ah... that is what they are called. Do they have another name or is that it? They certainly look like New Jersey. :look:

Apparently the west coast calls them, K-Rails. See --> Jersey barrier

A few cell phone photos I took on Friday, nothing too special but it was great to see the building in person for the first time in about 5 months.

Thanks, Quint! You're the man!! :rep:


Nice pics, fvcrew22! :thumbs: Isn't it astounding the difference a few months can make at Universal?

After seeing the building in person I must say it is very awesome looking...the first timers in my group were also very impressed by it..and excited for the ride

Anyone have an idea on a soft-opening date?

Anyone have an idea on a soft-opening date?

I'm still waiting to hear about progress on ride vehicles but according to a VERY recent conversation don't expect any softs until May unless things speed up with the RV's, programming, and cycling. Which by the way full scale cycling is underway but just barely :thumbs:

Anyone know why they have employees standing out in front of the main entrance now?

Probably just to do some crowd control and answer questions. Good sign though that they are getting closer and closer right?

 

[Themeparkvigilante]

Yeah, its almost a tease in a way, making me think they are waiting on a call from there supervisor on there walkie to open up the door for some limited softs!!!

 

[Hockeyman55]

I think it is time for someone to camp out at the entrance and start "operation rollout" so they can let us know when they open up

 

[Themeparkvigilante]

Man, if gas was free, I'd definetely take that position!!!

You pay my salary and health insurance until it opens and I'll gladly camp out. :rofl:

 

[Themeparkvigilante]

I would imagine though that along with what HTF said, there probably not opening any doors until the main ride sign & wait & warning time sign go up. & as as some have speculated, they could save the instalation of Optimus for right before the grand opening.

& the addition of these..

From what I hear, the employees are also out there as surveillance for the queue lines. My sources indicate testing is still ongoing but they are still a ways out from any softs. I wouldn't be surprised to see them around late May honestly
