Just got back form a day trip on 3/16/13. Got there when it opened (Studios first). Rode all the big rides- minimal wait times (10 min MAX). Mardi Gras was very festive. Springfield is coming along (pic of Moe's posted in another thread). Transformers building is amazing- incredible how fast it went up- we were there in June when they were tearing SS44 down. Got a sneak peak at the giftshop- they were working on the doors. HP area is coming along as well- can't wait to see it completed!!! Made sure we rode ET- I fear as it is the last original it may get the ax soon . Lunch at HRC then over to IOA around noon. Quite busy- Hulk down a good part of the day and waits for everything else were 40-75 minutes- didn't even check FJ (WWoHP was nuts as usual), but Dragon Challenge was only 20 minutes. They really need to do something about the landscaping around the track/structure-yuck! Cabana Bay shell is up- hard to believe it was an empty lot just a few months ago. I think it will be done before next spring- well I hope so anyway. Wish I took more pictures, but I'd rather spend my time living the moment than trying to capture it behind a lens . Overall had a great time of course, just wished we were on property for express pass!

[QUOTE="danpam1024, post: 5380297, member: 36698"] Just got back form a day trip on 3/16/13. Got there when it opened (Studios first). Rode all the big rides- minimal wait times (10 min MAX). Mardi Gras was very festive. Springfield is coming along (pic of Moe's posted in another thread). Transformers building is amazing- incredible how fast it went up- we were there in June when they were tearing SS44 down. Got a sneak peak at the giftshop- they were working on the doors. HP area is coming along as well- can't wait to see it completed!!! Made sure we rode ET- I fear as it is the last original it may get the ax soon :( . Lunch at HRC then over to IOA around noon. Quite busy- Hulk down a good part of the day and waits for everything else were 40-75 minutes- didn't even check FJ (WWoHP was nuts as usual), but Dragon Challenge was only 20 minutes. They really need to do something about the landscaping around the track/structure-yuck! Cabana Bay shell is up- hard to believe it was an empty lot just a few months ago. I think it will be done before next spring- well I hope so anyway. Wish I took more pictures, but I'd rather spend my time living the moment than trying to capture it behind a lens ;) .
