I now realize what that "mound" was that I saw from the top of Rockit. It must have been that trench they're digging...
So, they are laying crushed stone? Limestone? Is that prepping for a new concrete pad already? If you know (know construction), speak up.
Most likely to keep the dust down, and help keep from tracking dirt into the park, while they are working on the foundation.
If it was just a haunted house would they really need to tear down the building?
Seriously why would someone want a year round haunt over TF this ride looks beast a haunted is really only good for one walk through then you'll never go back through as for Transformers has the reridablity as Spiderman I mean seriously why would you say no to Transformers?
While I'd rather have the ride, I greatly disagree with your assessment of the year round haunt.
Heres why I don't think this is a year round haunt...
1) Why would they build it if it's not very popular in the Hollywood park? Does not make any sense! Besides, everyone knows about HHN!
2) I don't think they would be pouring a bunch of money and expediting something such as a haunt attraction. If they ever did add a haunt, I'm sure it would have been added by now and Universal surely wouldn't be doing all this!
They are obviously building anticipation and excitement. Remember, they are trying to appeal to the GP, not us nerds who care about the small stuff. A year round haunt would just be a "meh" moment. Just a little insight.

If it was just a haunted house would they really need to tear down the building? I mean a haunted house can be made out of almost nothing but an empty wherehiuse, which basically what it was. If they are rebuilding it must be because they need to accommodate a ride system of some sort.
Transformers seems like a sure bet considering the size of the building almost matches the area.
I don't nessacarily want to see a year round haunt. I think those get old really quick. Also I would rather it not be an opt to count as a Haunt for HHN every year. House of Horrors is sort of that way over in Hollywood.
However, I will take almost any type of experience over Transformers. I want something fairly unique that is not just what Spiderman did over again. Transformers is Spiderman with less practical effects.
On another note, why would anyone want to root for Transformers The Ride from Hollywood? They never had Spiderman and we have ours upgraded to the same standards of film and sound. It has been over ten years now since that type of ride came into the world and there are already two Transformers rides out there. I would rather them see push something new and innovative to the next step or a different twist. They did that with Forbidden Journey and it was a pretty big payoff even without the obvious Potter tie in to its success, it is a great ride and themed attraction.
Also, the plot is a tight squeeze with a big issue for an E-ticket if one were to go there that I don't see anyone pointing out. No service roads. E ticket attractions typically hug the walls of a park for a reason. They have service roads that can access the building easily behind them for a multitude of reasons.
The park's next big ticket is coming to the Amity area. I am not saying something is not possible but I would not count on getting another E-ticket there.
