Everything overall with the Transformers building. And do you think more will be added besides Prime and Bumblebee? maybe some fences or some covering for the outside?

So I talked to the TM in front of TF today to see what info I could dig up. The 1st guy I talked to said softs OR a grand opening or employee previews wont happen for at lest 2 months. Of course, most would say you cant always rely on even what park employees tell you, but in this case, I could only hope that they have been told to tell people that, when in reality it will be alot sooner. & I also asked about the RVS & has said what HTF already knew & told me & that all the RVS arent all on site yet. When I asked how many specifically were on/off site, he coudlnt tell me.

& on the way out of the park, there was a different guy, & just to see if his story/info on the ride would match the 1st guy's, I asked him the same questions & he said he had NO idea, completely different from the 1st guy. But I also asked about the rumored Bumblee statue, & they both denied it. My theory is that somehow the lifesize 2D Bumblee construction wall photo got morphed into the lifesize 3D statue. While I hope they would, I wouldnt be surprised if this in fact a rumor, which we wont find out until we see a picture, or see it go up along with Optimus.

I just hope HTF is right & it will open next month with no major glitches, as thats just over a month from now, which isnt bad, & will just fly by anyway & will be open before we all know it, cant wait!!!!

Aw crap, I meant ask them if they knew who the 4th meet & greet Transformer is going to be. Anyone who's there or is going soon should ask!

That would be a question I would ask the entertainment escorts. They're more knowledgeable about that stuff. But I know they don't play games. They probably wouldn't tell you if you did ask.

I like the building overall and I have no major issues with it. Besides the sign and Optimus I'm pretty sure that's it.

This is one of those things no matter how good the intel is, it just doesn't matter. Things can change almost daily all the way until until just before softs start.

And that's the general public thought process, they just don't hold things to nerd level standards.

I'll have to check with a certain little birdie that originally gave me the info about a 3D Bumblebee also being on the building. It might be a while though as the bird only likes to tweet in person. Read: No electronic media for them.

Oh I totally inderstand that things can always change, & that there could be a big difference between what is planned/expected vs what will actaully happen due to lots of unforseen or unexpected factors, glitches etc. Im just so tempted to ask 1 of the TMS if I can pay them to email me the second they get word on when softs will begin because I wanna be 1 of the 1st, or at the very least, there on the 1st day of opening!

I have a feeling, I will be able to help with softs. Not guaranteed but I'll try. Could only be a 12-24 hour warning as well but we will see :wave:

When it comes to soft openings, TMs don't know in advanced. Usually day of TMs will find out once upper management gets the clearance for a soft. It's not a planned process, so more than likely you won't hear about a soft opening until day of. Usually somebody on here says something because they were at the park when it happened.
TMs don't get told any special info specifically so it doesn't leak. Asking those types of questions like "How many RVs are on site" or "When are softs" are a giant NO-NO for TMs, don't expect to ever get that info. Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I don't want anyone on here to waste their time. Most of the time TMs just don't know.
You will all get a chance to ride this thing this summer, which is around the corner since it's already April. It's coming, get excited! :thumbs:


...back into the shadows I go.

I was thinking the same thing.....Seriously, though, I like the building. As Bill Cower would say, it is what it is.

I think the sign will help the building look more complete....as it stands now, it feels like it's missing something. Of course, Optimus will help too

I like the building itself, but looking at the area as a whole it doesn't fit in.

The NY area had a great feel to it, you get lost in the theme. Now that big box takes you out of it.

I wish they had applied that aging technique used on the bottom half to the rest of the building--the bottom looks significantly better than the top. And I'm sticking with my guns and saying a brown(er) color would have done wonders for the building, and at least helped it fit in with the rest of Production Central. But oh well, it is what it is at this point. At least it's a fun ride on the inside, even if its at the cost of Universal's well-constructed sightlines and New York theming.
