If it's not Transformers, a lot of people are going to be disappointed! It's like thinking your getting an iPhone for Christmas but you end up getting a piece of crap Motorola phone
Meh. I won't be all that disappointed if it's not TF as long as it's a ride.
Universal Creative has been "knocking them out of the park" as of recently, so I trust that whatever it is, it most likely will be pretty cool.

Well, seems like Orlando Attractions Magazine is finally getting on board LOL: https://twitter.com/attractions/status/221620626794881024
Isn't saying "something cool is coming to one of Central Florida's theme parks" kind of like saying "it'll rain at some point in the next year" or "we've heard news about a new song coming to the radio!"
Ohhh man.

Yeah, but that's just looking for cheap thrills. Like a radio host teasing he has big news, then goes to commercial break.
I know, I am happy with anything really! It's just all the hype got me (most likely others as well) all excited for it!
As long as it isn't another simulator, thats all I ask for... well at least at this moment anyway.
I was thinking, people were concerned about the Kuka arm technology not moving enough people, or hoping whatever ride or show this is, it helps draw some crowds away from Potter 2.0. But here's the thing, that area has been pulling zero crowds and people in, so anything would be a massive improvement. It doesn't have to be a crowd eater to make a big impact on the crowds elsewhere, because the difference, unlike changing capacity in say, Shrek 4D, this wouldn't be an incremental or increase on an existing attraction. Anything we get here is going to be a big gainer in terms of crowd movement.
^ I believe the gold standard for all e-ticket rides is 1200 per hour. So any e-ticket built anywhere is going to eat a chunk of humans. Any lesser attraction might eat fewer but not necessarily.
1200 is on the low end of the spectrum for rides. Forbidden Journey is a lot more than that. That was the Jungle Cruise hourly capacity when I was there.
So basically 20 people per minute. If you have an 8 to 10 person load every 20 seconds, that seems pretty doable. Especially on an attraction that holds 8 per vehicle. Load them like Spider man and that's a breeze, likewise for a system like Forbidden Journey.

Still hoping for BTTF with Scoop vehicles, even though I know it won't happen.
