It's Transformers! (didn't see that one coming...)

[andyman8]

Today's major announcement was that UOR is bringing the popular Transformers: The Ride 3D from USH to USF. It's set to open in summer 2013.

That's it. What do you think?

Personally I'm underwhelmed because I hate all the Transformers films, but it could very well be an awesome ride. I'm just not all that excited.

I actually went on the one in USH last summer and found it to be a big letdown. It was simply The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man without SM and Transformers instead. Even though I knew the announcement was Transformers, I am still disappointed.

transformers?




not a surprise.......

No surprise there! It is much better than what was there before, lol. My kids rode it in Hollywood and said that it is a great ride. The speed is captured very well but there are a lot of similar elements to the Spiderman ride.

I must say, though, how impressed I am with the speed in which the ride is being built. I'm also very impressed with the money that is being put into the parks.

No surprise with all the speculation. I am surprised about the summer 2013 opening though! I think it will be a big boost for the Studios. We're thrilled about the ride (big fans of the brand and who doesn't love a new awesome ride?!) but sad we'll miss it's opening since our next trip is planned for late April/early May.

Well, the surprise part was sarcasm. It was impossible to miss "TransformersCountdown".

Anyways, I do agree that it's better than the empty soundstage that was there but the ride technology, vehicle, special effects (even the order of them) is identical to Spider-Man. It it what I like to call a "copycat attraction".

transformers is not what i would have chosen to be put into the studios.
the movie made a lot of money.
Michael Bay makes great action movies.

the actors in the transformer movie ruined it for me.
thought they were awful.





but, i am a ride ***** and will ride any ride in the parks.

when transformers is open to the public, i will be in that line to ride it.

I knew it was sarcasm, lol. Yup, it is a copycat attraction, but it is better than no attraction and probably better than most attractions. I'm happy with it, considering it is something very unexpected in the sense that I never expected to be getting something there. To me it is a bonus ride.

why are my posts duplicated?
i feel like i am in the twilight zone now.

Does anyone think there is anyway the ride will be different than the one in LA in any slight way? I mean the Mummy rides are different, so maybe this one will be since its identical to Spiderman
