Transformers: The Ride - Summer 2013

[JungleSkip]

I've also seen alot of choppers over Universal through out all times i've been there. But i've seen very few airel pics of Universal Studios from the sky.

That's because, for the most part, Uni doesn't have the OCD fans like Disney does that need to get aerial views of construction ever 5 minutes.

I'm sure it'll start up once Potter construction is in full swing.

Just outta curiosity...how did you hear about our site..?

Actually through an airel view of Potter consturction back in 2010

i do believe that it's transformers though simply because if it wasn't then universal would have dampened the rumors a long time ago to avoid an anti-climax when they do announce it

They tried. They put out a ruse regarding a full time haunted house hoping to throw people off the scent of the oil spilling from Optimus Prime. It made some insiders look a little, don't want to say foolish, but you get the idea, when they kept insisting it wasn't Transformers and there was no way Transformers would ever come to USO.

Im puzzled, I thought it was a Haunted House this whole time?!?!(Kidding of course)

It is a haunted house... you just have to Hop through it, in a potato sack, while singing "More than meets the eye" with a bannana in one hand and making monkey faces at 88MPH.

BREAKING NEWS. The building will be 3 STORIES and not 2 (although I am sure most of you knew what 2 I was talking about). The elevators will span all three stories as the basement will be the maintenance workshop for the vehicles. Other news is that PCL IS involved in this project along with Hensel. And finally... this foundation all by itself... all by its amazing self is costing $4.3 million.

^Wow. So does that mean 2 stories high, with the maintenance bay being underground? That would explain why they dug so deep.

I suppose that's the only way an E-ticket with complicated ride vehicles makes sense for the middle of a theme park rather than being against an edge.

I was wondering about that. Was looking at the permits earlier today and saw something about maintenance bays and the basement.

 

[slappybob]

Wow thats alot of money for foundation but exciting news thanks Teebin!!!

Also explains why night after night I've been seeing countless dump trucks going in. That's a lot of dirt.

Ohhh a change to the overall structure layout, very cool.

This is why I enjoy reading this site and keep coming back for more news. Thanks for that update and my only question is, sorry if it's dumb, what's PCL stand for? Does it stand for it for PCL construction leaders? I found this below when trying to find out the term.

Thanks and I tried google and that's what I came up with too, but wasn't sure.

 

[Teebin]

What is a bit exciting JustEddie is that PCL is working on all of the Potter stuff and Hensel (another big company) has been in charge of the SS44 construction. At least this is what we've known till now. It is just geeky interesting to learn that both are involved in SS44.

 

[JungleSkip]

Well, Teebin, they're going to need every hand on deck if what Reel and I were told yesterday is true.

And I'll just leave it at that.

Really glad you added that part.
