So I guess this attraction will have the "cool fire" effect that the Mummy has because of fire code?

This is definitely great news as I was just in awe when watching the film and am such transformers fan. In opinion it looks like this could definitely end up being the new technology as outline http://www.vekoma.com/index.php?option= ... &Itemid=30. At least I am hoping because I think that this concept has plenty of potential as it creates more depth for a variety of experiences especially if immersed in a 3D environment.

this ride is going to be the bee's knees'. Hopefully they'll find some location to put in replacement stage shows. =)

I always thought a 4D Transformers would be cool, I never thought they would actually make one. IMO, this ride is destined to be good.

Obviously as Backdraft proves, you can in fact have fire as part of an indoor attraction. ROTM could not have fire due to the space required to meet whatever code there is.

Glad to hear USH might finally be getting a decent ride. Last good ride we got was JP. Mummy doesn't count, cause Florida's craps all over ours.

All I have to say is that there better be some Megan Fox somewhere on that ride otherwise....No Megan Fox = FAIL :)

We have real fire over here at Indy too, it's been done at many attractions worldwide.

Not a coaster, more like Toy Story but on a much much bigger scale.
