My friends and I took this route first thing in the morning, and it took only 7 minutes to board our ride vehicle. If you don’t mind being separated from your relatives or friends, this line might be just the ticket. Luckily, the ride has a separate entrance that can accommodate single-riders. If you can handle Transformers: The Ride, you may find yourself waiting over 45-60 minutes on average, if you take the regular queue. One of my friends who went on the ride, didn’t think he could handle a return trip.
#Transformers evac movie
If you thought it was an ordeal trying to keep track of moving Transformers on a static movie screen, you may not be up to the challenge of moving camera visuals in 3D, with a jolting ride vehicle. I will include a warning if you decide to go on this ride. Flat-screen televisions keep us entertained with reports of Decepticon activities, along with information about EVAC, and a computerized voice that helps provide some comic relief. What I appreciated, was that Transformers: The Ride utilized the same effects company that worked on all three films, Industrial Light & Magic. Utilizing the same computer information they used for the films, ILM is able to give us the same level of quality, and use alot of the city information they gleaned when building their digital Chicago, in Dark of the Moon (I think I even saw my workplace building in part of the ride!).ĭetail has been placed in the queue lines inside the building, with everything from Scorponok’s severed tail section (last seen in 2007’s Transformers), Hieroglyphics with Cybertronian writing, and even the Allspark shard that is the focus of the ride’s storyline. They help keep the image on the screen looking 3-dimensional, even as you shift your focus all over the place. What helps is that the 3D glasses actually are wired into the experience. The screens aren’t crystal-clear (and you’ll need to use the ‘wonderful’ technology of 3D to experience it), but the experience may soon cause you to stop thinking you’re in a ride the size of a studio soundstage. Just like in that ride, Transformers features interaction between characters on large screens, your ride vehicle, and the physical ride environment around you. The ride is moreso an upgraded version of the Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man attraction at Universal Studios Florida.
#Transformers evac simulator
Still, the attraction does build on simulator technology that moves you through a world with giant screens, and physical props. One has to almost wonder: can you use a ride simulator for any other ride-based scenarios? Whether it be Star Tours at Disneyland, the former Back to the Future: The Ride, or even the current The Simpsons Ride. What could possibly go wrong? All together now: EVERYTHING!! This seems to be a recurring theme in regards to simulator rides. The Ride‘s scenario is very similar to some rides where your guide is about to go off into a place/zone/mission for the first time. EVAC is getting his first taste of battle in the excursion you’re about to take. Along with 11 other guests, you’ll find yourself inside the Autobot, EVAC. It is up to you to help protect this important Cybertronian artifact. Transformers: The Ride originally debuted at Universal’s Singapore location in 2011, but its first Stateside appearance was at Universal Studios Hollywood in May of 2012.ĭuring the course of the ride, the guests in line learn that Megatron is attempting to retrieve a shard of The Allspark (an ancient relic that can create life). While I and many have mourned the death of Back to the Future: The Ride (which was replaced by The Simpsons Ride in 2008), there was one new property that had many Transformers fans (like myself) excited.Īfter the increasing success of the live-action Transformers films, Paramount Pictures & Universal Studios combined forces to allow Universal Theme Park guests to ride into the world of the film’s battle between the Autobots, and Decepticons. Since I last ventured through the archway of Universal Studios Hollywood in 1997, alot has changed.
