I am quite impressed! They actually brought jets into the production set!

[@bweaver1985]

those jets are based in lakeland like 50 miles away.

[@Emilio-fb4em]

@@bweaver1985wow never knew😮

[@Emilio-fb4em]

But what kind🤨?

[@austincleary4814]

​@Emilio-fb4em the first one is a T-33 Shooting Star, and the second is an L-39 Albatross

[@SCR33NH3AD]

Even without cameras and CGI, Michael Bay can put on a show

[@bluexiong3492]

What a great opening theme, I was there and it was great to see.

[@KILAH4716]

I will forever remember this day. My mom and I were having a discussion just outside our house, and these jets formation flew over my house to prepare for the flyover over Universal for this event. Then, we went to the store to grab some things, and when we returned, our house had been broken into, our suitcases opened and run through, as we had been preparing for a trip to London a week or two away. Maybe one or two days afterwards, I looked up any reason why these jets formation flew over our house, and I ran across this video. This day, although not the best day for my family, was still one of the coolest days I will remember, just because of those formation flying jets.

Not the story I was expecting...

I always get so excited seeing trucks painted like Optimus because that's no small task tight there.

[@joshmontemayor1212]

That was the actual Peterbilt Optimus from the 1st 3 Transformers movies.

[@maximilianomartinezrodriguez]

I was there that day and just came back to rewatch this since I lost the footage from that day. Was so cool to see in person.

[@Andrew-yy8lx]

This is probably one of the most epic grand openings to an attraction ever. The music along with the fighter jets is just amazing!!!

I love the outside of the building. Though, it does kind of make me feel that we got screwed over at the Hollywood park with its giant billboard looking entrance.

I rode this ride before it opened because they were test riding it. It was AWESOME!

One day, those transformer vehicles will actually transform into the robots.

[@giveitsomepizazz]

Harry Potter will always make money. People will always travel to come see it and will come again and again. As good as Jaws was, it wasn't drawing in the crowds the same way and it was starting to look outdated. Harry Potter is a financial gold mine and always will be. It was my generations Beatle-mania.

I went literally a week before this opened... I wanted to ride so bad.

I wish they would do the same thing Warner Bros. Studios and display them in their museum. A very good example would be the vehicles from the Dark Knight Trilogy that are displayed at the Warner Bros lot.

[@user-qh2on7mb7j]

If the vehicles actually transformed that what would be amazing, but I guess that would be asking a bit much
