Universal Orlando is certainly taking their own advertising to heart and “expanding like they mean it”. This is the most construction projects that the park has going on at once. The Transformers ride has been happening iin record tume and if the rumored opening hapoens before the end of the month, it will have opened in less than ten months from beginning of demolition on Soundstage 44. It is certainly an exciting tine to visit.
