cfc Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 ^Well, that does make it more "realistic" looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1pizza14 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Why exactly would Universal post this? Doesn't this show guests breaking into a ride.. I can just imagine the GP comments on this one.. Agreed with the iPhone camera view. PLEASE HOLD IT SIDEWAYS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylanreich Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Look at the youtube profile: http://www.youtube.com/user/coolstorybro9000 I don't think that Universal made this video. That Youtube channel has been there since 2010, and the existing videos are of some concert. I'm guessing they added the copyright at the end for fun or something.

99er Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I like how they take the time as they are running out to look back, frame up and hold on the Universal Studios sign so the viewer knows exactly where this was shot at. Sorry but this is fake and I totally believe USH is behind this. Universal Orlando did a similar video when Bill & Ted "broke into" a soundstage to see one of the haunted houses. This just seems like Hollywood took that idea and ran with it. That Youtube channel has been there since 2010, and the existing videos are of some concert. The description of the video makes it sound like it has nothing to do with the Youtube channel. Just that they found the video of "some kids" and hosted it on their channel. But it cracks me up that they have to approve comments as if not to let people point out the obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long have they had Transformers in the plans. So a 2010 youtube page to set this up ... makes sense to me. This is Universal Hollywood, their marketing team is not going to be a group of last minute thinkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggernel Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Is anyone playing the game? I've been trying to keep up as much as I can, but they only list the top 10, so I have no idea what place I'm in. Hoping that I'm somewhere in the top 40, but top 15 would be nice. Top 10 and my score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosscoe Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 So guessing that Universal are only selling the Front of Line pass till the 24th May, would that make May 25th the opening day of Transformers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COASTER FREAK 11 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Yeah, soooo that's interesting. I know the ride will be awesome, but this still baffles me. The original design was so impressive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 $100 million ride and they couldn't spend $1 mil more to have a proper facade. But I guess I'm nit picking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) It doesn't look as weird in person. It's definitely striking. Not exactly what you expect from a military base, but not bad looking either. Edited March 21, 2012 by Jew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCW_Nut Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I was under the impression that they facade was supposed to be more along the lines of replicas. It's kind of a mashup up of "this is a real military base for the Transformers but it's also a giant movie poster". I think the USS version looks a little better in terms of the building design, but at the end of the day all that matters is that the ride is fun.

robbalvey Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) Wait...is that it? That can't possibly be done, right? They'll at least put the Transformers figures on it above the entrance area or something, right? Edited March 21, 2012 by robbalvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacoaster09 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 The USH transformers facade although I kind of like it will fade in a few years while USS transformer will be just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCalCoasters Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Looks fine to me... I feel like people are becoming over-critical of what the ride looks like. Yes, compared to the other Transformers entrance this one might not seem as impressive, but I like it for what it is. It may have also been a style choice so it would fit better into the lower lot...who knows? I'll enjoy the ride for what it is. Star Tours and Buzzlightyear also have similar "facades" and I never hear complaints about those. Not that much of a difference here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 ^This is supposed to be the NEST Facility, A government building for the Transformers.... Does the building resemble anything government owned? No, it does not, not in the slightest. That's the issue that is being brought up. The facade of the building does not match the story directly inside the front door. Unlike Singapore, this building isn't hidden, or blended with its surroundings. So the facade doesn't reflect the story inside of the NEST Facility, and it doesn't attempt to blend with its surroundings. This is why I dont care for this design that much at all.
