Transformers: The Ride - Summer 2013

[cameronw99]

just found out my trip to Orlando this summer has been pushed back to Thanksgiving. At least when I finally get to ride I wont have to wait under the blistering sun. Especially with having no cover over the queue lol

It's tm preview.

Can someone confirm 100% that this is UO TM preview, and not just for Transformers ops?

There's been absolutely 0 announcement that TM previews are today.

 

[Tbad556]

Doesn't sound like an announced one at least. From @StruveBrandon (a Universal TM):

If TMs are actually riding Transformers, it's not an official TM Preview. Nothing has been communicated yet.

I've been waiting for the e-mail all day, and sadly, it has yet to arrive. Can't wait to rollout!

Even if it isnt TMs, they will follow shortly anyways, & from the sounds of things, if they arent now, than at the least TMs will probably have there turn by Friday or Saturday. Again, I could be dead wrong, just wishfull speculation, I know nothing. Confirmation either way would be good though.

I've only seen Ride Ops entering side doors and exiting through gift shop side door.

So the ride ops are finally getting their ride and next will be TM previews and/or softs. But it is a good sign that TMs are finally riding.

The e-mails for these kinds of things aren't usually timely as the preview isn't planned in advance. Usually it starts with attractions calling out on their radios that if anyone off at 3 wants to ride have them stop by. The building had non-tm riders this morning. And I had been led to believe that after that was done if all went well it would switch to TMs. So it would make sense that it be now.

My guess is they recruiting Attraction Leads for the final phase of training. :shrug:

People will be riding tomorrow, that shouldn't include guests. Team member previews should follow shortly.

Via @mellyybaby: According to the TMs standing guard, Transformers preview only for contractors today. @Attractions @OrlandoInformer

100% correct that the contractors had ride time this morning. That's over now though.

No it's not.

No it's not.

It was scheduled to be. I'm not actually in the park to confirm.

I'll be in Orlando from Sunday next week to...next Sunday. What are my chances of riding Transformers on the 26th, then jumping over to Seaworld to ride Antarctica?

Fairly high, assuming Antarctica works.

 

[thegame460]

Guard fences being moved around. Is something about to happen?

 

[Tbad556]

According to @JtaMagni1976 (a member here who's name is slipping my mind ATM), his neighbor who worked on the ride was able to ride it today around noon and told him that TM Previews and softs may happen during the same days.

Also this:

she said there wouldn't be many more if any more contractor softs as they are busy with DA, HE and "other" projects.

Maybe contractor previews are over. :shrug:

Awesome, to be honest I'm way more excited for Transformers, so that's great news.

It's tm preview.

No it isn't. It may be for Transformers employees only but there have been no regular TM previews yet, nor has there been any announcement for any.
