^Keep in mind that the first floor at USH is partially underground as well.

You're going to need a bigger camera...

This building is going to be huge. Hopefully it won't look too out of place/awkward. Is it the only massive building in that area?

They didn't float weather balloons for their health. Should top out at around 60' above ground level.

Teebs got any reference to other building heights within the Orlando resort to compare it to?

I'm not Teebin, but I looked around online and apparently the Test Track building is 60' tall.

The mummy building is purdy close to that. Stand on Delancy St. next to the old SS and look towards the roof of mummy. It will be a whole lot of height without the graduating facades most theme parks afford themselves.

Ah yes. So I saw a container coming out of the business park that Oceaneering is located in. It was headed towards I-95. The facility showed signs that a truck just left. I don't think it's too unreasonable to suggest that USF could be getting vehicles this early. They could store them at the central shops, or do some testing on Spider-man while they wait for the building to be completed.

They would need time to program these vehicles right? :shrug:

 

[Spideyfreak]

The programing is already done. It's just copy and paste the software.

It can't be an exact copy. Hollywood maint bay is not in basement Plus the track may not be an exact copy .The Mummy rides are copies of each other and each is a little different.

From the track layout already in place, it's the same track layout.

The mummy rides also don't require thousands of hours of 3d rendering and exact timing for each scene.

That is my point even if track looks the same if sensors are placed even a 1/4 inch different the timing will have to be adjusted.It is not going to be copy and paste.
It will be quicker since some will have already been done.

Ignorance is bliss.

What basement?! It's Florida! lol. It's painfully obvious it's a copy. I've said many times why.

The mummy rides also don't require thousands of hours of 3d rendering and exact timing for each scene.

It's already been done! The timings have been worked out already! What rendering? It's already been rendered!

That is my point even if track looks the same if sensors are placed even a 1/4 inch different the timing will have to be adjusted.It is not going to be copy and paste.

Tolerance already in the programing accounts for this. Run two YouTube videos (starting with the "Hello?") of Spider-man side-by-side. They usually end with a one second difference or so. On Spidey, if a vehicle has a fault it stops, and the others just stack in the zones behind it, unless it's a critical fault that causes an E-Stop. The track doesn't really care how long it takes for an RV to clear each zone. It just cares which zones are occupied.

Also, the two Mummies are very much not the same as each other. They are hugely different experiences.

Our Transformers, however, will be the exact same ride as Hollywood's, and nothing needs to be rerendered or reconfigured, which is why UC had the idea to place it in SS44 instead of funding for anything else, which they will do as soon as Potter Phase II is milked to a good standing point.
