According to IESB.net, Paramount is planning on adding an amusement park ride to its Transformers plans. The goal is to open the ride between Transformers 2 and 3. Its still in the early planning stages so most of the info is speculation rather then firm info. Currently the concept is to have it as a "dark ride" which is " indoor amusement ride where riders in guided vehicles travel through specially-lit scenes that characteristically contain animation, sounds, music, and other special effects."
This sounds lot like some of the rides at Epcot, Disneyland (Indiana Jones Adventure) and the like where aim for emursive experience rather then rollercoaster effect. Early concepts of the experience include life size Autobots and Decepticons that might have people in the middle of a battle. Robots that will be used is also unknown since some may or may not survive the next two movies.
All told, the cost of the ride, where the ride will be located, construction and final design, etc are all unknowns. As of now it sounds more like a spec idea that may or may not happen. Guess know for sure once Paramount releases some official information. With today's technology, any Transformers ride could be lot of fun.

ReplyDeleteNot Paramount - The ride will be at Universal Studios Hollywood in 2011, and its new Uni theme park in Singapore. It's all thanks to Mr. Spielberg who now is home again at Uni.
