Translation from Google Translate:
"There were four ships and left Spain, sailed by the sun, wind and rain. Three ships continued to explore, But what about number four?"
The earliest dates for those packages was May 28th, so this probably is not the case. There has been speculation on other sites that these people were extras for advertisements that were being shot of families of executives.
Universal Team Members will be receiving their tickets to the TM Preview this Monday and Tuesday, May 17th and 18th. At this point we will know when those previews will actually take place, which should give us a good idea as to how close softs are.
About the moving load platform...
I have been told that the ride will probably not open with that particular device operating. From what I was told, they won't start using that until they have all of the trains on the track.

Man, these are some really awesome parks that you guys are checking out. I find it pretty funny that you guys ran into a Ninja Warrior course in a theme park. "The newest Ninja Warrior obstacle is the monkey bars over the leech pit!"
Well, even if you did the math and subtracted the 50 feet above ground level from the proposed 325 foot traveling distance, that still leaves you with 275 feet, which would still land it on the list. Perhaps in a different spot, but on the list nonetheless.
I don't think so. Those look like they'll just be used as shelter for those waiting in the queue. In the new POV videos, the rings don't appear to be nearly that thick.
Perhaps what we're seeing are merely frames for these facades to be placed over.
I definitely agree, but there is one building that has it's own support structure on site at Nassal.
I see the one that you're talking about now. Surely there is still room for it on site. I know that there is a lot of steel going up on the site, but you also have to remember that the buildings are going to be stuffed in side by side with no space in between (per the concept art). The building you mentioned doesn't look too big, so I'm sure there will be plenty of room for it.
Dueling Dragons or the Hulk at Islands of Adventure, though I can't remember which I rode last.
By the way, I'm new to these parts, but a long time reader. I hope to go on one of the famous TPR trips soon. Nice to be here with you guys!
