While I agree that I doubt it too, if walmart can rotate a security camera in a parking lot in florida, they they can turn a robot head in said weather. Think of the hippogryph that appears to work rain or shine.

Off topic here but good luck if you get mugged in a wal mart parking past 15 rows out. They are terrible cameras where as the ones at Target, Kohls, and Best Buy are much higher quality. You would get lucky to know what color the car was at Wal Mart where as say a Kohls camera can give you a license plate shot on a moving vehicle at a 1000ft. Sorry off topic my fault.

Looking at the building layout, it looks like a really small space for a gift shop, but that's just me :shrug:

Nobody said it will soft open in a couple of weeks. I have merely predicted that the exterior work will be done within the next 2 weeks, with softs beginning in mid to late March, which is over a month from now, NOT a couple of weeks. & there are people that say that is still too early, & I have also said I am probably WAAYYY off, & if it turns out Im wrong, no big deal.

& also don't forget that they are also working on this around the clock, so you couldnt even really estimate how long it will take compared to the USH & USS builds, so I dont think it is TOO out of line to estimtate this thing opening within the next month or 2. At the LATEST I see this soft opening at the beginning of April. I have also read that USH went through 4 weeks of technical rehearsal before opening, so thats something that will probably remain the same for us. So if it soft opens in as late as the beginning of April, I predict it will OFFICIALLY open in May, so they may just be able to announce that it will be opening Spring
2013. Of course this is all speculation unitil we do hear an official anouncement from Uni.

Well this Transformers is an exact copy of the one in Hollywood, so they won't have to test run/soft open near as long as they would a first design ride.

Right, & USH isnt a 1st design ride either, nor did they have a 24/7 crew. So could it be as short as just a couple of weeks? Maybe even an APRIL grand opening might be possible after all? Of course, I'm sure that's mostly just wishfulll thinking, but that wont stop me from hoping it will be open for softs every time I go from now on, even though realistically I predict it will be open by about my 3/4th visit from today. But I know, I am high AND crazy!!!!

So, any ideas when the crane will come down, or when they wont need it anymore??

I assume it will come down when Prime is done being built :shrug: then again they have to theme one whole other side too. But they might put him up last? I don't know. Time will tell... Or a little birdie might :sneaky:

Do you guys think they'll sell NEST badges/ID cards? If so I would be SO down to buy one.

I had to go back like 50 pages to find this. Did anyone else not notice the crane has been down this long?

OK, Sorry for the delay. I thought I'd go back again today to get a night time perspective. I was shocked the wall was down on the Stage side! Lots of hourly team members standing by all sides of the building tonight and they extended the wall on the lagoon side with a black wall. Anyways, here's the pics from closing time:

Here you can see the spray from them hosing down just behind the wall on the lagoon side. I assume clearing the area for sidewalk work

Great pics SGT623! :rep:

And I can't really tell, but does it look like they are theming the equipment housing to look like a shipping container?
