10 Fun Facts About Transformers: The Ride-3D
Have you heard about Transformers? Definitely you would know as it is a very famous movie equally attractive for all ages. Now it is time for film robots to show up in real life amid a dangerous battle zone. Universal Studios Hollywood has recently created this astonishing ride which will take you to an entirely new world. I will tell more about this ride in the point-wise list to follow. Here, I will avail the opportunity to divulge some details about Universal Studios Hollywood. It is located in the Los Angeles County, California, United States and is the hub for all great Hollywood movies. It also serves as a magnificent theme park for the general public. The summer season is approaching and this place is advertised as ‘The Coolest Place in L.A’ in summer. In the surroundings of the studio, there are several buildings such as Universal Hilton & Towers, the Sheraton Hotels and Resorts, the multi-screen Globe Theater and Universal City Walk.
10. The ride is officially open to the public from 25th May, 2012. You will ride an EVAC vehicle which will take you through a world of robots— the Autobots and Decepticons —.
9. I came across a statement of the President & CEO of NBC Universal who told the Reuters, “We think this is the best ride that we’ve ever created. It’s got a lot of different aspects to it that you literally couldn’t do as recently as ten years ago.” (Universal Studios unleashes ‘Transformers The Ride’, DAWN, 2012). By this, you can very well get an idea of excitement and thrill which waits for you!
8. Motion-based flight simulation has been put to use in this ride and it is built across 2,000 feet of track on a 60,000 sq. ft. stage in a 60-ft. high building.
7. It is not just a simple go-through-the-scene ride rather you will be able to feel the real-time effects of the happenings around you. For instance, the heat of the explosions and spit of the robots etc.
6. Don’t worry as you are not going to fight alone in the battle field. Peter Cullen and Frank Welker will be with you in this deadly fight. I didn’t say they will be riding alongside you rather their original voice is incorporated in the ride which will further the thrill of the ride.
5. This point is not totally related to the ride but is somewhat linked to it. Energy drink called Energon has been planned to be launched by Universal Studios Hollywood which is a Transformers-inspired drink.
4. The 3D technology has been used most effectively in this ride as sometimes you will have to actually move your head to one side to avoid the incoming metal blades. LOL! Isn’t it fun guys? It sure is.
3. There is not much ‘sense of moving’ experienced by the people while you are on the ride except for the one time when the ride speeds off to safety. Rest of the time, you will experience severe shocks and will feel like being shaken all the time.
2. You can buy tickets for this amazing ride online from its official website. There is an offer there of getting a 2nd day free if you buy one day ticket. There are also other limited time offers placed on the website as this is the opening weekend of the ride.
