Also, way to go Universal for going..."Oh Disney you have the Little Mermaid ride opening...WE GOT THIS!"

I'm still amazed they started demolition and will open in a year.

I'm already seeing the DIS fanboys blasting the ride on Twitter

AWESOME way to announce something. Seriously. That was so fun, and I was watching from home.

Also for the Disney fans who are hating on twitter:

As expected, the ride will be identical to Hollywood and Singapore's (via @BehindThrills who are at the Q&A going on right now). The architecture and queue will be different, however.

Sweet! a proper facade!

My.. you can be extremely grumpy sometimes.

Nah, not me.
I just like saying no, and having to be "right" just doesn't matter me.

Different architecture for Orlando! No mural!

Can you imagine the outrage is it was just a mural?

Alright!! I love the way they announced this! And I suspected since 2009 that they would bring this ride here in some form! I'm happy to see that it's now officially coming!

Going next summer! Should be wonderful! :thumbs:

I've actually been planning to visit California for Disneyland and this ride at USH, now it looks like I can put that off for a while.

This is why I'm not going to USH next week and just DLR

Yeah, I really want to save up and go to USJ though, and ride BTTF one last time before that goes as well.

My girlfriend was fairly upset that this area was closed off, now it makes perfect sense.

Also freaking awesome that they are already in the parks.

Autobot stilt walkers are doing photo ops for the media. Big crowd gathered around to see them. Really impressive to see them.

I just want to say that I only said no, because of Spiderman, thinking that they were crazy to screw Spidey with TF. But as I read twitter tonight, here is what Inside the Magic tweeted tonight:

Thierry Coup feels it's not repetitive to have Transformers and Spiderman at @UniversalORL. One photorealistic, the other comic.

Because HE says so, i'm sorry I am so dependent on certain people, I now can accept Transformers to Orlando. I do apologize to those who I have ticked off in the last couple of months.
