Transformers: The Ride - Summer 2013

[AvoidTIMtation]

Question for those in the know: Why have 4 or 5 people stationed outside the entrance all day when the ride is clearly not open?

Universal updated their Facebook about a half hour ago.

The TODAY Show has made adjustments to its programming in response to events in Oklahoma and will now be broadcasting a limited portion of its show live from Universal Orlando Resort on Thursday, May 23rd. If you were one of the 1,000 who RSVP'ed you will be receiving an email soon with more details.

As planned, a portion of Universal Studios Florida will be opening to the public at 7:00 a.m. While select attractions will be open at this time, all additional park experiences will open at 9:00 a.m. Guests who arrive at 7:00 a.m. may have the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the TODAY Show in action while experiencing the park at their leisure. Theme park admission is required for each guest three years and older. Our hearts are with all who were affected by Monday's events.

I can also understand having a segment on it, but not a lot of the show. This makes me upset..

Jesus christ dude, you realize you're saying that people dying and homes/lives being destroyed doesn't deserve coverage because "waaah my theme park news"?

I second that quickfire.

On my way to work this morning, I saw a digital billboard saying "Advisory: Transformers are Coming" and right underneath has June 20th. Made me excite.

Are they still going to be covering the tornados tomorrow? C'mon now. I understand Monday, Tuesday, and today, but tomorrow? It was horrible, but I really hate how the media continues covering something over and over again...it's over now.

Can we blow up your house, maybe kill a few family and friends in the process, and then tell you not to worry about it because, as you say, "it's over?" Or would that upset you too?

Woe is Justin, who can't get a couple minutes of coverage of a theme park. Nevermind the people in Moore, OK who no longer have homes, loved ones, or their lives. His being upset is truly understandable and rationale.

Now where was that sarcasm button that was requested in the Springfield Expansion thread?

Should we move talk of this over to the Today Show thread and get :focus: ? I'm looking forward to hearing about those that got to ride today!

 

[Felipe]

They'll feature both things, guys. Let's not :catfight:

Deleted my post. Just forget what I said.

Sorry.

Back to Transformers.

So softs started today for the public, or just TMs?

I too am also curious about the multiple TMS at the front entrance.

edit: nevermind

Looking back, it was rumored that some "people" would be on it today but it hasn't been confirmed. I guess we'll know by later today if the problems mentioned earlier prevented anyone from getting on.

The multiple team members are there to help field any questions guests may have. Because team members are now in the Transformers uniform, more guests assume the attraction is open.

 

[Themeparkvigilante]

I figured. What are the chances for Sunday? If not by this weekend, can we safely assume FOR SURE by next weekend? Like I said before, ya'll have saved me a bunch of trips so far, so I just want to make sure to see if it be worth going or not for a chance to ride. If not Sunday, oh well, another week or two wont kill me. So again, thanks to all for helping me plan my USF trips.

Are you actively seeing this now? Are they leaving the gift shop afterwards? They could just be testing the 3D glasses retrieval process.

 

[thegame460]

Yes. They are exiting to a door to the left of exit.
