Although it's one of my favourite rides not just at Universal but including Disney the mechanics aren't ground breaking as such because it is based on the designs of Thierry Coup, the designer of the Spiderman attraction and Forbidden Journey.

I enjoy Terminator the ride but like you mentioned on the podcast. Technology wise, it's a near copy of Spiderman (yes I know the track is different). To me, in a lot of ways it's a highly themed HRRR. A ride to plop down into the park so you have something new. From an overall park themeing standpoint, they plopped a huge industrial "military base" into old Hollywood/New York. A much better location themeing wise might have been between MIB and Springfield in that currently backstage area of the park. T

I think you guys summed it up very well in the podcast - it's great for now.
It's not a ground-breaker technology-wise and it's not based on an franchise that will have timeless, long-lasting appeal.
It's a great, great attraction but it's no Hall Of Famer.

I absolutely agree. I missed the Transformers craze when I was a kid, and I think the movies are mediocre. In order to achieve Hall of Fame status I think a ride needs to be based on a property that has become part of our common culture.

Spiderman clearly deserves Hall of Fame status; Transformers does not.

The biggest no I can give...it's another big screen ride with a transformers overlay nothing unique or spectacular about it.

Honestly, no. I found it uninspired as an experience.
