Transformers: The Ride - Summer 2013

[Nick]

What does "Wune Wunteyeth" stand for? I haven't a clue...

"Rhymes With" - 6/20

 

[HailSouthern84]

It looks like I will be down May 17th, fingers crossed that I will hit soft openings by some miracle.

June 20th falls on a Thursday. So are they really gonna grand open this thing during the middle of the week, instead of the weekend?? That sounds kind of odd to me.

 

[tribbleorlfl]

I move into my dorm at UCF the 21st, so I'll be in town the entire week prior.

Good choice in schools!

For these parks grand opening is ceremonial, and the bigger concern is getting it on the news. Potter phase 1 had it's grand opening on a Friday, but they also didn't have to worry about getting it in the news cycle, because it was going to be covered no matter when it opened.

This ride will soft open prior to, and should be running open to close the week prior to grand opening.

June 20th??

Too funny, I was trying to turn it into a persons name.

And I was trying to figure out it reading it backwards

Well someone has nailed the date but regarding softs and the numerous people who are very curious of when when when??? 3-4 weeks before opening is what I'm hearing.

3-4 weeks!?

I'm going to be there on May 18th and 20th. That's like 5 weeks beforehand. I sincerely hope they will have softs then.

It's still very possible, the window of possible softs as I've said before opens around the 15th.

So now the next question is what date will Universal actually make an official announcement for the grand opening date?

That's up to those people in PR and advertising

 

[justinmb98]

So, since I'm going pretty much just a week before it officially opens, what do you think the chance is the ride will be open when I go?

 

[jtsalien]

Yesssssss! So psyched I'll be there for the grand opening. Now to convince the family it's worth being there

 

[Andy]

OU Meet planning begins... Who would be interested?

[TylerDurden]

So what are they called anywhere else??

I know this was from a while ago but I really wanted to show off :look:

lol from what I remember from a Universal documentary I once saw, the robots at Universal are called animatics instead of animatronics--it stands for animated cinematics I think. Same concept, different silly name
