I mean it’s replacing Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit - wouldn’t it just be called Hollywood Drift?

Sometimes I’m just the right amount of stupid.

Sorry, I thought we were talking about the USH version. Wow, we’re already demonstrating how confusing this is.

The Hollywood Hollywood or the Orlando Hollywood?

Doesn't Transformers take place in Chicago?

How come nobody freaks out over that ride being in New York?

That part of New York can double as Chicago. There’s even a manhole cover with Chicago plastered on it. I’ll take a pic tmw.

There's context to some of these examples of thematic misplacements, though. Transformers was developed for Hollywood, so if you were going to change anything in the ride film, that actually would cost more money to re-animate and re-render (though I've never been conscious about the film making it clear it's supposed to be Chicago).

With this project, again, we're talking about printing different words on signage/murals/facades that are going to be made anyway, and a few extra takes during an already-scheduled preshow shoot with talent (if we assume such a thing is happening, which seems likely).

(And also... I've never been a fan of where Transformers is and how it's themed to its environment. So there!)
