Transformers: The Ride at Universal Studios Hollywood

[larrygatorObsessive Overlord of the TPR Park Index]

Sounds like a great edition for the west coast! But as it sounds like it is Spiderman West, I don't see the need to rush out there anytime soon to ride it.

Agreed. but while I won't rush to California just for Transformers, I will cause me to add USO to my itinerary when I am in LA.

Still feel bad for Ron Howard.

[cfcI've gone pantless!]

^At least you can still experience "Backo-Drafto" at Universal in Japan.

Still feel bad for Ron Howard.

Yes, he will be missed.

I love Spiderman, so I look forward to riding this. But at the same time, since it's so much like Spiderman, it's not going to get me to jump on a plane any time soon just to ride it. It will have to wait until I'm back in CA for some odd reason.

Theme Park Review was invited to attend a sneak peak at the new Transformers: The Ride 3-D. "Technical Rehearsals" for the attraction started this past week, and the reviews have been positive. The ride will officially open to the public on May 25th, so chances are good that soft openings will take place almost daily to put the ride through its paces and to train the new crew.

Personally, I think Universal Studios Hollywood did a great job with this ride! I was most impressed with the use of the space of the show building. The ride layout consists of a lower and an upper track area, maximizing the space and allowing for a 3.5 minute ride cycle.

Echoing others, the interior queue is very well themed and most importantly a way to beat the So. Cal. heat.

Because most of us already know the plot points and other specifics of the ride, we will just get right to the photos!

Thank you to Universal Studios Hollywood for allowing Theme Park Review to attend the sneak peak for Tranformers: The Ride 3-D. We wish you a great summer season! (Don't forget to purchase a "Gate A" pass on weekends and most of the summer days, as it will cut down a HUGE part of the wait for the more popular attractions. They are worth the extra money!)

Awesome Trip Report! I love how everything is well-themed! USH really did their best on this ride, and I'd like to congratulate them!

[Jew"It's not small, but it is very 'average.'"]

The extra space is stroller parking. Nice report. Except for not letting me know you were there (not like I don't live close by or anything!).

Hey Jew. I am going to be at USH today. Just wanted to let you know incase you would be around. It would be great to get to say "hi" for a bit. Cheers!

It looks like they did a great job with this ride. I can't wait to get up there and ride it!

As for your trip report, this is all I have to say about that:

The ride looks like a great addition to USH! Is there a pre-show to this ride and will an alarm actually sound if you remove the glasses?
