Transformers: The Ride - Summer 2013

[HalfGlass]

standing outside T2. Team Members are holding the crowd back and will walk us to the " viewing area at Central Park at 9am.

TMs are trying to divert guests to DM, Rockit, and Shrek. Eceryone laughed and hardly anyone moved. I'm standing right at the front of the crowd near the left.

How crowded is it there?

I don't have the Flickr app on my phone to post a picture here, but I Instagramed a picture of the crowd. Look at the [HASHTAG]#TFGrandOpening[/HASHTAG] Instagram tag for it

Every body's "favorite" security guard is here directing traffic for Transformers...

Just watched Al and Spielberg. Fun stuff. I cannot believe how large that evil bot is. I want a picture of the actor that fits that costume and makes it function. It appears a foot or more taller than the others. And he moves it around really really well!

Too, I just got an insight as to why Spielberg is so connected with the park... he was part of its creation in the mid eighties. Never knew that.

The crowd is pretty far away. We were walked lagoon side of Central Park. VIPs are the only ones near the ride and stage. Bumblebee is meeting VIPs and I can see the Bumblebee car parked. Lots of people near me are peeved about how far back we are.

I'm still instagraming using the [HASHTAG]#TFGrandOpening[/HASHTAG] hash tag

 

[Jwhee]

Will the opening be broadcasted on the today show at 10? Or 11?

We have a decent spot. We will be able to see and hear everything I'm sure. We're a little ways from the stage but up front where we are at

Standing up front at central Park, just a little away from the entryway. I'm wondering how much of it we'll be seeing.

 

[Jwhee]

Does anyone know if it will be broadcasted
On the today show?

Yup. He's pretty engrained in UOR. And from what I understand TF the Ride was basically his idea.

The whole Simpson family, including Maggie in her stroller. They're taking a picture with the 3 Transformers.

 

[DeputyAuror]

Megaton's stilt character has arrived!! The crowd got really excited to see him walk out. For some reason the Simpson characters are out too and they're all doing a photo op with the 3 Transformers characters

 

[Gambit]

Krusty and Bob just joined the photo.

For some reason the Simpson characters are out too
