Awesome. Nice to see a new shot of Evac in all of his glory. He's got a really nifty design.

NBC/Universal employees are on the ride now for a special preview night. There's a 1:1 All Spark replica for $225!



I asked if he saw a deluxe Evac there but hasn't answered. Edit: No sign of Evac yet

IIRC, this is using the same technology that was in Paramount's Amazing Spiderman ride.

I rode that thing SO many times because my dad loved the hell out of it, and I had to agree with him. I'm still flabbergasted at how they made me feel like I was falling at one point when the vehicle car wasn't moving along the track AT ALL, just motion simulator pistons working and the film.

A 1:1 scale Allspark? Roughly how big is that? I mean...1:1 scale compared to who? lol At 225 bucks, if it's nice...i might throw down and buy that when i go there for the May 4-6 preview night

He said it was about 1.5 ft square. That might even be a 2:1 scale or bigger, because I think the one Shia carried around was only about 7 in square. He said it was made of pewter so it's got some weight to it.

I'll be there tomorrow repping my g1 t-shirt. Hopefully i'll see some of you guys there.

I might go Saturday just to check out the store, but no chance before then.
optibotimus316
Out of curiosity..why are you guys saying tomorrow? As far as i know, the preview night for annual ticket holders isn't until May 4th-6th.

Tomorrow is the employee preview. + There are rumors of a short soft opening to the public later in the day.

Weird since that's what the email i got called the May 4-6 dates. "Tech Rehearsal". I wonder what the point is in the RSVP if they're already letting people on it now

The May 4-6 is an AP Exclusive date. Right now is still considered testing.

Also, I like how on the front page the video window is now the freeze-frame of Cullen recording his lines with Optimus next to him, rather than Peter Jackson and some guys sitting on the King Kong 360 Ride. Much more fitting.
firehawc_69
Ooh! I forgot I wanted to go today! I forgot I had a car show scheduled today but learned last night that it was cancelled. Woot!
firehawc_69
OMG! That ride is soooooo awesome!

I wept.
