I loved the older gentleman who was helping load the RV's: "I'm so glad you guys decided to stick around so you could ride this!" I might try going at park open tomorrow with another friend since he missed out tonight...and because it's that good!

I was able to discern where the elevators were but I had to look over my shoulder to do it. You would never notice if you weren't looking for it.
Didn't notice what kind of mechanism was used.

Excited to see the lighting! Looks like I'll have to go back tomorrow and see the lighting. :)

I ended up getting another twelve rides in tonight. The breakdown during TM preview lasted about an hour but I waited it out just incase...

Lots of fun tonight and glad the GP finally got to go in. :) I know some of my friends were very happy.

I think so, I mean it makes me dizzy as the ride program is non stop. You really feel like your going fast.

Oh hey dude. :thumbs: yeah tonight was kind of a spur of the moment decision. Then I got there and saw my friend who works at the vault and I knew I made the right decision. I found it hilarious that not even five minutes after a lot of the crowds that were there left they opened for softs :lol:

I was impressed with how Spider man's RV's seemed to go faster (sound effects, rumbling, overall movement intensity) after the upgrade but this sounds like it's a step above! Squealing with excitement my friends, squealing!

Looks stunning at night! Good to hear OP's lighting will be finished tonight! Looking forward to tomorrow's night-time pics!
BTW, just a small observation, notice how only the stand-by queue sign is lit up. The other two are off.

12? I think you and a certain TM at the Vault should have a competition to see which TM can ride it most before the grand opening :lol

There also is a tribute to G1 Bumblebee at the end of the ride. You just have to look for it :thumbs:

Our version is every bit as good as Hollywood, and the interior line length was quite a surprise. I really didn't think they could cram as much as they did in there. If I recall correctly, it appeared to be about 15 minutes less than Hollywood's, as that version has you going down long stretches of ramp hallways.

My one and only nitpick was the shortened safety video with Evac and "the lady with the robotic voice." The version we received has none of the humorous banter between Evac and the "lady," which I was disappointed to realize. Otherwise it is great and a wonderful addition to the park.

Haha, I think I know who you're talking about. :)

I'm officially at 22 rides now. I think most of the NEST solidiers that work at the ride know me by now. :P

I'd love to hear all about the various Easter eggs. I've picked up on some, but I'm sure there's more.

That's happened to me a few times. :lol: The day before DM soft opened, I was at USF. The day before NFL began softs, I was at MK. Also, I was at USF two days before CineSpec began its tech rehearsals.
