Transformers: The Ride 3D
Universal Studios Hollywood
Ride previewed: April 28, 2012
Ride opens to public on May 25, 2012

Hasbro‘s Transformers films have excited the public for years now with fulfilled promises of high-speed action, fiery pyrotechnics, and intense Autobot vs. Decepticon battles on land and in the city skies above; everything you’ve come to expect from a Michael Bay production. The question is, could Michael Bay effectively translate that experience to a theme park ride? Recently I went on that ride, and I can honestly say, “Mission Accomplished.”

Michael Bay collaborated with the ride builders at Universal Creative to bring the experience from his films to life. I rode Transformers: The Ride 3D during what Universal Studios Hollywood called their Technical Preview (which just means that some aspects of the ride may not have been fully functional, but to be honest, everything seemed to work fine to me).

I’ve included an unabashedly enthusiastic post-ride video reaction and photos here below, along with a description of the ride and of the whole experience.

For the most passionate of fans and thrill seekers, few things are more exciting than being thrown into your favorite movies via the rides of Universal Studios.

For fans of the Transformers movies, that ride is quickly approaching with Transformers: The Ride 3D at Universal Studios Hollywood. The ride is set to open on May 25th, but until that time, a new video has been released showing the making of the ride and what fans can expect.

Sooner or later every mega-popular movie franchise gets its own theme park attraction, and the latest honors go to Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks’ blockbuster Transformers series. Last night during the Super Bowl a TV spot premiered for the new Universal Studios Hollywood movie-based attraction Transformers: The Ride 3D.
