Transformers: The Ride - Summer 2013

[ThemeParks4Life]

But since its come up, you dont like big thrills right? I remember you said that somewhere, so automatically USF will stand out to you. When I said dull I meant, dated, and yes I agree theyre doing alot WHICH is why I said lets be thankful.

I'm too much of a chicken to ride Hulk, Dragon Challenge, and HRRR (the latter for my own safety ), so I'm not exactly ready to ride these giant coasters with inversions. To be fair, IOA has 3 rides that can't be ridden in the winter and a land with just shows and a restaurant. Suess is fine.

It's crap.

Its literally not crap at all. Why? because its a little rough? :'( You must not like thrilling rollercoasters then lol just kidding btw

 

[ThemeParks4Life]

I've heard reports of people getting bruises on HRRR (hence why I said I won't ride it), so that's plenty enough of a reason to hate it. Not to mention it has terrible capacity.

For those of you who think a thrilling rollercoaster like HRRR is garbage..your insane. It might be a little rough..but who cares its still an amazing and thrilling rollercoaster.

The ride is defintely for coaster fans. If somebody doesnt like coasters then i can see why they wouldnt like it. Its definitely an intense coaster at times but i think its one of the top thrilling coasters in florida for sure.

What's your definition of coaster fan?

What's your definition of coaster fan?

The main thing is its gotta be a thrilling ride. HRRR is more than thrilling as a coaster. Are we judging it on other things besides the actual ride experience?? because if you have fun on it nobody should think its not a good coaster.

I think people are judging it on the ride experience.

This discussion really needs to occur in this thread...

How many coasters have you ridden? HRRR compared to pretty much anything else is terrible. Not only does it have a lame stereotypical "music" theme, it's incredibly rough for a steel coaster. The elements of the coaster just leave for a very mediocre ride experience.

I think it also gets such a bad rep because Universal rushed into using Maurer Sohne as the manufacturer instead of B&M.

Beats me, one of the best rides there.

Anyhow. I hope something transformers like in on the side at least the side facing HRRR or the water.

There's a difference between complaining and critiquing. There's no need to coat everything with pixie dust. Not everything will always be amazing. But it's not the end of the world, and it's not forsaking Universal when somebody points that out.

Agreed! We can critique, but we shouldn't condemn anything before it's finished.

...Might be stretching everything a bit here, I looked on Google, didn't get what I want so anyone with knowledge (Who's posts I can see) are any of the transformers buildings previously built themed with the E7 bar coding thing? Is this the only Transformers building visible in any park from all 4 sides?

It is indeed the only Transformers ride with all four sides visible. On the others, I don't see bar codes, but I do see the E7 and the other numbers all throughout the queue in the USS version, and in the USH version as well. And notice this pic by our own HTF:

I think this will look sweet at night.

Now the big question, how will they disguise those garage doors!

I actually think they will have them be just another part of this warehouse/base. Especially because of the detail in their shape, they don't look like they're gonna be hidden. (BTW, see pic above)

 

[Enbee]

Was at the park today and I think this looks much better in person. It's not the most incredible theming ever, but I think it works.

I apologize that these shots aren't the best. I don't own a fancy camera like the rest of you.

Rude and crude 'shop to get more of idea of what the rest could look like 'dirtied' up.

warehouses have garage doors... :look:

I know what E7 is regarding transformers, but what is E6?

everybody is entitled to their own opinion... for me, my 13 old son loves it so guess what we ride it multiple times a trip

 

[twebber55]

as for Transformers..i give uni a little slack here since its difficult to theme an entire building when its in the middle of the park and can be seen on four sides

 

[Rorus]

Would everyone rather have the ride soon with the theming that's being done now? Or.. Wait longer to ride it and make it look more like the Nest building or fit in with the New York setting? I think the wearhouse look is coming out pretty sweet and can't wait to ride it!
