Transformers: The Ride - 3D

[Jon Fu]

Not to worry, I'm on your side and highly doubt it. But it's something that'll be hard to refute... and I currently don't have the pocket money to do so.

How about you, Jon? 

Chris and I are planning to go to Florida this winter, so we can definitely try out your Florida one day/Hollywood the next method and see what happens.

But surrounding theme aside, Hollywood does have a better ride experience than that of Singapore. Singapore does have a different queue layout, but it's also slightly smaller when it comes to the main queue rooms with the preshow videos.

...and that's what counts, right? Queue and actual ride? LOL. But to give Singapore some credit, their queue lighting is fantastic. Much easier to capture the All-Spark without the harsh lighting.

Here's some photos, Allen. I think I have a video walkthrough that I'll upload in the summer if you're interested.

I think Hollywood's and Singapore's TF ride didn't have fire is maybe because of the 2008 backlot fire, not sure. 

so you are saying that fire should havecome out during the rocket part?

 

[Allen The Actor]

No, we've been over this before I think. No fire on most new attractions at Universal are because:

"Green is Universal"

Cost and maintenance of fire

Pyrotechnics permit

Same reason why in Forbidden Journey there is no fire either. Pity though, fire effects really pack a punch!

Today is Transformers: The Ride 3D's official 1st birthday technically.

 

[Jonathan]

Optimus, Bumblebee and Megatron sounded great! Yes, Bob Dylan  people were eating it up!!!

 

[William]

I cannot wait to see these talking Transformers!! 

 

[BernardMesa]

I was completely excited to meet Megatron but now I'm a little freaked out haha

That's so cool. Anyone have any footage of Optimus or Bumblebee?

It was very wise for Universal to incorporate interactivity with these characters. It makes for quite the show while you're waiting in line to meet the Transformers.

Wow that's fantastic. Well, originally we would've had those kinds of animatronics... :/

 

[BehindTheTheme]

They should have a Megatron and Bumblebee this size guarding in front of the park

 

[William]

Kind of a bummer that there aren't any animatronics to be seen in the ride. I mean, think of it.. A life-size Megatron snapping his claws right in front of you?? Too cool!!

 

[smoaT]

Are this fan made animatronics?? or just statues?? either way they are impressive. Universal should buy them and place them on the facade

Perfect scene for that. saying, " YOU CAN'T ESCAPE MEGATRON! "  

 

[William]

Perfect scene for that. saying, " YOU CAN'T ESCAPE MEGATRON! "  

I'm almost getting the chills thinking about it.  Another great animatronic scene would be at the end when Optimus is thanking everyone for their bravery. It'd make for more of an intimate moment. Oh, the things they could've done...

 

[Allen The Actor]

The last Optimus scene was supposed to be the only Animatronic scene left originally but it was cut due to BS reasons when in reality it was all money. I still think it should've been half animatronic and half projection.

 

[William]

Half and half may have been slightly tough to configure.. especially since they'd have to blend the two seamlessly. What exactly are you referring to when you mean half animatronic and half projection?

 

[Allen The Actor]

Certain scenes animatronics, certain scenes all projection. Or at least more physical effects.
