Transformers: The Ride - Summer 2013

[Mad Dog]

It was at 75 minutes in the morning today.

Thanks for the info. I read a post on another site a little while ago and they said the lines have been long all week. Good news for Universal.

I'm sure this has been mentioned and I just missed it, but does anyone else think that the Optimus Prime semi-truck driving around the park is just about the coolest thing ever? I geeked out when I saw it, I freakin loved seeing that thing!

Believe me, I had the same reaction. :thumbs:

I would love to see Optimus and bumblebee but I believe they've got to go back soon

My thoughts on the "lack of energon". Couldn't Coca-Cola just rebrand Powerade for the Universal parks as "energon"? It wouldn't be a new drink but they could market is as the drink that rehydrates you like it repowers the tranformers. Just print up some labels, slap them on the bottles and BOOM...instant theme park exclusive drink :thumbs: It wouldn't be the same drink USH has but the effort to bring this renamed powerade would be minimal. :thumbs:

Something tells me Coke/Powerade wouldn't be too happy with their logo being covered up/minimized. The only way this would be possible is if Coke was paid to create their own version of Energon. But Uni shouldn't spend the money on that when they've already developed a unique drink recipe for Energon.

They left 2-3 days after Grand Opening.

One of the sites who's name is not to be uttered is reporting Transformers has a 110 minute wait today, plus it's raining. Sounds like Transformers is living up to expectations, especially since its a very high capacity ride, almost as much as POC per hr.

 

[rhino4evr]

well it is 4th of july weekend, they will probably have sell out crowds this weekend. did they ever put a cover over the extended queue?

 

[UNIrd]

Wouldn't it have the same capacity as Spider-Man?

It doesn't, a bit lower. Elevators.

I got in line at 8 yesterday and waited 76 minutes

I was there just last week, and saw the wait time hit 109 min. luckily I had express, but I still did a double take..

The cover has been on the extended queue for a while. Military warehouse themed like the building. Looks like a different color though.

DM, however, is at 120. Busy day all around

And DM also has a brand new movie opening today.

Despicable always has one of the highest waits in the park. Its near the front, its a popular movie and it has a fairly low hourly capacity. Can someone remind me what POC is? I cant keep up with everyone's abbreviations...
