Transformers: The Ride - Summer 2013

[BamaToTheBone]

They're trying to gain that oh so sought after 65-100 year old theme park demographic.

After all, there's no hotter property than Murder, She Wrote.

I really hope this ends up not being a year round haunt. Sounds lame to me. I'm not really overboard for Transformers, but I think it would work well. Not sure why so many are against it just because it is similar to Spidey. I mean, Dragon Challenge has the same "tech" on both of its coasters and they share the same que. A different ride at a different park sounds pretty, different, to me. In the end it would really help disperse crowds away from HP part I and would be another reason to get families with boys age 8-18 away from the mouse for a day when they come to Orlando. And they would be much more likely to get 2 park passes as opposed to the IOA/HP one park tickets I'm sure tons of people get while on thier "Disney" vacation. Although, HP part II is going to do a great job at this once its open.....

I honestly don't care what they do with the space, it's better than nothing at all. I'd personally like to see transformers, or sometype of ride, but i really don't care what goes there.

Hop? So Universal took a good 100 steps forward with the incredible work done with WWOHP and with DM, and now they're just gonna milk Hop? That's easily a good 75 steps back. Incredibly disappointed.

Now you see what you guys did.....

HOP IS A JOKE!

:deadhorse:

I personally am very happy about Hop. There are no other Easter-themed rides in Orlando. It will fill a niche that people are clamouring for. :rofl:

But seriously, I will actually be excited if it is a permanent haunt. Universal has certainly shown a commitment to themeing and attention to detail in all of their attractions lately (Despicable Me cue, for example). So I'd expect them to make a haunted attraction that is at least visually stunning. Now of course, it's harder to say if they will address the understaffing issue they apparently have in Hollywood.

I REGRET NOTHING!!!

But really anything expect an expanded Lucy Tribute would be fine.

 

[UNIrd]

Hop would be a year-round haunt.

 

[Octobers Fade]

Hop would be a year-round haunt.

If they did the Bloodenguts version that would be OK with me.

They need another dark ride, but that's probably wishful thinking.

 

[USO92]

They need another dark ride, but that's probably wishful thinking.

Why would they need ANOTHER dark ride? Maybe our definitions are different but every single ride in USF is a dark ride with the exception of HRRR. Just curious
