Transformers: The Ride - Summer 2013

[Gambit]

If you don't mind me asking, what does it do? Or is it just a model replica? :drool:

It projects different images on the ceiling.

Is there a door that exits from the ride into the store. Is there a sealed up wall somewhere in there?

This is the door way in question.

I talked to one of the NEST ladies and she said Optimus and Bumblebee will meet everyday from 10 to 4 and change every every five minutes but closer to 4 they will both be out from now on.

And apperently the Energon still needs to be trademarked for the park and will show up closer to the ride opening but they are trying to get it out as soon as possible

Am I the only one who thinks it's a little odd that Megatron would be doing M&Gs? After all, he hates the human race.

One thing I am interested to know is if the characters fingers move?

Not necessarily, did you see Dark of the Moon? He has human helpers! :stunned:

Thanks for the pics of meet and greets. The reason we hadn't seen such pics before is the guests have to stand WAY away from the costumes. They are probably delicate given their relative light weight not to mention EXPENSIVE. Probably $10-20K each judging by the complexity and apparent perfection. There is a passer-by on here that can chime in whether or not I am on the mark. :wave:

I can 100% confirm that that door is the exit and will be removed when before opening. Take your photos there while you can, and when you see it not there anymore the ride is unofficially open for employees and rehearsals

also found out today that its ok that the store will is small because guests will exit the ride in decently spaced out groups of 12 at a time max.

12 riders in one Evac sure, but I would assume like Spidey it loads and unloads 2 at a time, meaning 24 people at a time.

He's just acting

I personally can not wait to see the Transformers out from day to day at the parks...hopefully they get a float in the Superstar Parade!

I think its lame that you have to stand so far away. In this video from Hollywood, bumblebee is fist bumping and shaking hands with guests. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhUjFUECrtU

That's probably because their training right now, but that's just my guess.

DOTM is my favorite of the three already out. He only tolerates them since they are doing something for him/the Decepticons. All the others, he'd rather kill/see dead.

What was it, only a few weeks ago they had auditions for them? Wouldn't be surprised if this is the case.

Not sure if things have changed at Hollywood or maybe there have been lessons learned but people are not allowed near the Megatron character in the Hollywood park either.

Regarding the exit door...I doesn't look to me like it will be a problem...no more than the spider-man store is. The store is not very deep - when you exit the ride you will basically have to go right or left into the store and then to one of the exits.
The only problem I foresee is on that center column/display there are a bunch of switches and buttons at kid height. They don't do anything, but, you know, kids.

Teebs, here is the only clip I could find of them walking. It's very short and not of very good quality, sorry.

[sbdipp]

Will they eventually be allowed to get up close to guests? Otherwise it really does take away from the whole experience.

Can't get that one to work either. Maybe it's just me. :doh:

When will this be soft opening?

Hopefully May. Or that's what other users here keep telling us. :shrug:

Million dollar question!
