Transformers: The Ride - Summer 2013

Why would they need a cooling assembly if they are using LN? Trucked in LN is already -300 F. Or are you suggesting they are going to manufacture LN on site.

I was wondering that also. Maybe it's not a cooling assembly but a heat exchanger used to start the process of converting the LN to a gaseous state.

I have a feeling this going to be just like the Hogsmead Station discussion about using LN to generate faux steam

Are the speakers just for ambient noise?

Noticed that quite a few of the construction workers badges expire on 4-1-13. Hmmm

Believe it or not, Marvel created the Transformers. There is one issue of The Amazing Spider-Man were black suited Spidey fights Megatron!!!:spidey:

Spider-Man was in the Marvel comics version of The Transformers but it was Hasbro who trademarked the name and on a business trip to Toy Fair in Tokyo in 1983 Hasbro execs spotted 3 different yet similar toy brands they wanted to but to revive their dying company. Diaclone,Micromasters and Microchangers all were merged into the Transformers brand. Hasbro even wrote the backstory of Cybertron and the arrival of the Autobots and Decepticons on Earth. Several comic book companies including Marvel,Dreamwave and IDW have all had licensed Transformer books. :thumbs: I've been a fan of The Transformers since 1984 and have even been to a few BotCons to boot.

Now that is sharp of you to notice. BTW, I did check the video of TF Holly and the shot from the ceiling 3/4 of the way through really does look like LN.

^ Thank you.

I know LN is often used for effects. Just not sure how the heat exchanger plays into it. Guess we'll have to start researching.

Not much has changed since yesterday, aside from more pipes going up and scaffolding appearing near the garage door on the blank wall. Sorry about the quality, my phone doesn't take the best pictures with sun glare.

Thanks, Tim! :thumbs:

Thanks for the shots Tim

FYI, PVC spray paints beautifully to silver, brass or bronze and in Florida it never cracks or peels. I did bronze on some pvc coming into my brick home there and it looked like expensive pipe work.

And for Halloween you can get a nice rusty pipe look with it being safe PVC

Very interesting. More than likely the date when most, if not all, construction is done. It could also just be the date that some workers will no longer be needed on site. I'm guessing that previews and softs could start around Easter weekend and the busier spring period. Looks like it could follow the schedule the USH version did. Open for softs and previews in the middle of April and have a grand opening Memorial Day Weekend.

April softs would be fantastic, but I don't want to get too excited yet. Still, the second I see someone on here confirm softs I'm getting in my car.

Thanks for the pics Tim. :thumbs: with all that glare JJ Abrams would be proud

I wonder if the lights on the columns have the ability to change color?

I would hope they can for HHNs

If not they could just switch out the light bulbs I do really like how they light building up at night.

There would need to be controls in place to do this properly.

Would have been cool if they installed color changing LEDs to begin with.
