The video monitors in the first half of the queue plan "breifing" videos that set the scene. The screens toward the end play the safety spiel information. As for the glasses, I didn't want to find out and I can't imagine any other TPR peeps would either! ;)

^Nope, because they would be banned from the site for violating park rules (and whatever else the park themselves would decide to do with them!)

Was hoping to get out yesterday but stupid work got in the way.

Maybe next week ... Need to get our AP's eventually anyway. ;)

As for your trip report, this is all I have to say about that:

I think I really like the idea of making the single rider line have a higher height requirement than the normal ride. It makes it harder for terrible parents to force their small kids to try and ride alone which I've seen on several other single rider lines.

Great report William, really detailed!

This looks pretty cool, I'm a big fan of the Spiderman ride system (they need to license it to some European parks!) so any new addition is a good thing in my books!

Its nice to see that all this time after the 2009 west coast trip when the building was under wraps it's finally open(ish!).

Have they neutralized the characters from the movie? In one of the pictures it appears as though they've edited Optimus and Bumblebee from a Peterbuilt and Camaro to more neutral vehicles. They definitely have still retained the shape of those respective vehicles but have no badging and slightly modified front-ends.

How consistent do you these soft openings will be? Would it be worth visiting the park prior to the grand opening or maybe I should wait till after the official opening.
