I think that's the reason behind the apparent rush, but I don't see how they get the new building up and running by September.

Yes, that's what I'm thinking, unless a significant portion is already being prefabricated. But it does lead one to wonder as to how good a "permanent" house will be compared to the "temporary" houses that are being built on the same schedule.
Transformers would fit in well where Twister is, and at least allow T2/ET to have a little bit more shelf life.

Has there been any pictures or confirmation that SS44 is down??? Couldn't be possible that they aren't demolishing the whole thing, maybe just a portion, thus cutting down on construction time???
Oh and why the height test??? I doubt the building will be that tall... How tall is it in Hollywood??? I guess they could put a billboard on the roof, advertising the haunt/HHN.. or, maybe they could do something with Frankenstein, where the lighting rod exits the roof like in the movies??? More waiting to see I guess....

Just have to wait and see. I suspect we'll see a brand new, taller Soundstage for multiple floors.

Ya know, I really don't think I could be too disappointed in this... Just need to, like you said, wait and see...
Just to give you guys an idea of how massive Transformers ride building here in Hollywood is:
Early in the construction:
Then they dug down a good 20-30 feet to expand the building.
Look at the door, that is ground level.
If a clone is coming to Orlando, the building is going to be very tall due to Orlando being a former swamp land.

I think that it would make sense as a replacement for Twister.

Not only those issues, but the Rockit goes through the facade of Twister. With construction on that soundstage, they would most likely have to close the Rockit for awhile.

I would not call it "Twister's" facade. Yes it attatches to to building Twister is in. But I see it more as NY themeing. And we all know Twisters are not in NYC. Its also does not go through the front of Twister.
i.e. not the facade of Twister

It'll be an ok attraction I guess.
The one in Hollywood is ok... You do it once or twice and it's done though!
I'm grateful for something new but gutted its not transformers.
I'm guessing they want to go on a much larger scale than the Hollywood one...
The one in Hollywood is over in a minute or two and the building isn't particularly big.
To be honest I've only done it as many times as I have is because I used to be a smoker and it's situated right next to the smoking section!

This is what I'm wondering. I was completely shocked to see this the other day. The train and the DeLorean better be safe with a new home coming soon!Where, oh where, has my DeLorean gone?
Well this turned out to be a huge bummer... Obviously it will be better than what was there before (an empty building), but Transformers would've really been awesome...

I'm more concerned about what is going to happen to the DeLorean and the time traveling Jules Verne Train. Seeing these props was the highlight of my most recent trip to Universal Studios. I even met Doc Brown and he let me sit in the drivers seat in the DeLorean because he saw how big of a Back to the Future fan I was.
Seriously, if they don't put them back out on display, I will be furious.

I guess it'll just be a matter of finding a spot for them. Or maybe they'll come back to the area if this isn't going to be as a big of a buildout as we think it is.

They should find a way to put them in World Expo near MIB...

I feel like this is the next attraction to go and they do have some land around the theater. However I would think another theater show would be the choice and use the existing structure.

Fear Factor should go as well...
