I really wish I was there today. If only I lived 2 hours closer to Orlando. Oh well hope everyone there is having a great time!

The battle was pretty cool, but I think after the guy said Transformers the ride 3d is now open there should of been fireworks and confetti like in USH

^ Wild, I saw that low ground videographer in the other video. I thought at the time he was overly earnest and ballsy to be crossing into the show space... Now I know who he was working for. :smiley:

How long until they open up the express lane?

 

[Hatetofly]

Anyone now how long the wait got up to in terms of minutes, or hours actually. For those who don't know the line filled up the entire queue and overflow queue within 20 mins and then the extended overflow queue went numerous switchbacks throughout NY then along the front of the Mummy (more switchbacks), towards Twister, and finally a another roundhouse of switchbacks around and behind HRRR's treble cleff maneuver.

I wonder if anyone has aerial views of the line, a la WWOHP

Wow. That sounds like a 200+ minute queue. But it was Grand Opening day, so should be expected.

 

[Bryan]

That was cool

And once again, thanks for the attendance info HTF. Also thank you to each and all videos that have been posted. I know there are a few, like me that will/have watched every one of them, for each has its own unique angle on what took place.

When my father and I walked around immediately after the ceremony it was as you said. I never saw a way time but we decided to head to IOA and play around (which was equally as busy) but when we came back it was 120 minutes but it was having issues. Came back 20 minutes later and it was 75 and we got in the single riders line and wet on in 30 minutes.

The ceremony was very cool! We were in central park near the new waterfront but we could see and hear everything. I loved it! My dad liked the ride but he also noticed it was exactly like spidey. Overall a fantastic day!!!

I never saw the sign go over 120. But I never believed it was accurate and didn't check often.

I just left and the sign was at 0 and there weren't letting more people in.

0 minute wait at Universal = Down

0 minute wait at Universal = Down

Not too sure in the case. The entire queue was full with no one leaving. I think the line was just over 2 hours and they didn't want it running until midnight. But I'm not sure.

The only reason the queue was so long was because the attraction wasn't operating for guests right after the grand opening but they were letting guests get into line. After they started letting guests ride I don't think they had a problem keeping guests inside the designated Transformers queue.

When it was down for us it was also posted at zero but as soon as they announced it operational they bumped it to 75

We got in line at 430 and it was 75 min. Anybody get any good shots of the parade?

 

[Teebin]

Parade? Do you mean the opening show? If so, scroll back two or three pages.

I know I saw on twitter multiple times today that the ride had broken down.

 

[Evac167]

Never mind. I got some misinformation. I saw the event. I'm in a couple of those pics. I was right up on the rocks
