Transformers: The Ride - Summer 2013

[The_Bled]

I can pretty much promise you softs next week. Gaurenteed. Unless there is another issue with the ride like the electrical base.

My guess is Today Show hosts riding Transformers on 23rd

I was thinking the same thing. I'm Orlando next week and I will make sure I'm at the park that morning just in case.

My thaught has always been that Optimus being an AA/statue with just head movement is just a rumor until we see otherwise. Alot of people thaught thered be a Bumblee, but turned out not being true. I'm just excited over getting a full scale Optimus in ANY capacity, moving or not. But if IT does turn out to be electronic, thatll just be an added bonus for me!

& I was the 1st to suggest softs will probably occur on the 23rd with NBC being there, but hey, the sooner, the better, & I look forward to hearing from everyone who will be there this weekend!!! KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THAT WALL IN THE VAULT!!!!!

Yep, I am wondering how they'll do it.

I mean right off the top of my head what I would do is have the head, waist, and solders move. All being cable driven, with the actuators actually inside the building. Then all the is outside would be just about water proof, just need some lube from time to time after the park closes. Then for major maintenance, the think is a statue :thumbs: as it is happening out of site out of mind

And maybe they'll reveal the OP animatronic that day?

We saw him there, my wife really enjoyed it. She has multiple pictures of course. Megatron came out yesterday, 5-14-2013, he looked awesome.

Damn myself for missing the chance to meet uncle Jessie!! :bang:

All I know is my friend is on the Transformers opening team and they just steped foot into the building for the first time today, sooo next week is doubtful, to me anyways.

It takes less than a week to train those people so softs next week could happen. The supervisors and technicians have been cycling the ride for a while now.

There were dozens of people in and around the building today...not just the one lone soul out there disappointing everyone.

Full team training today :thumbs:

 

[Themeparkvigilante]

I thaught training started May 5th, or was that just an uncomfirmed rumor??

 

[mebweb]

So, no chance of softs starting tomorrow I gather if full team training just started today. I've been hoping for 5/17 for a couple weeks now since tomorrow is a day off work for me.

Couldn't they have put the team on Spidey for training?

 

[Capacity]

And who would run Spidey? Its a similar ride but they all still have to go through full training for Transformers.

I think he meant two teams. The new Transformers crew could learn from the Spidey team I also think it was a joke though

It's a valid question. It's really the same ride system, but the team has to be signed off at their ride as the consoles will be a little different, the positions are all a little different. So for safety's sake everyone has to go through the full training (Even those who have been running it for the past few months for testing)
