The SCOOP ride vehicle is perfection honestly

My biggest gripe with Transformers was I wished they would have done something more creative with the elevator scene

Looks like they are expanding on that idea with MoM

I like Transformers, but there really isn't much of a story, and no tension build-up. Everything is thrown at you at once, and they keep throwing it. And many of the characters look the same, and even look like the buildings. It makes it hard to tell what you're looking at some of the time. I'm a sucker for a ride that tells a simple yet good story, builds in tension, and raises the stakes as it goes along, all ending in a crescendo. So pretty much Spiderman, ROTR, or Curse of DarKastle (RIP). I just hope that's what they go for with this one.

The ride is like the Transformers movies. Same chaos. So it pretty much mirrors what the films are about......I like Transformers, but no where near as much as SpiderMan. And the ride is a good use of the Scoop.....I don't think I'd ever tire of the Scoop ride vehicle. It's as close to perfection as theme park ride systems presently exist.

Someone once said about Transformers ride: "Its just like the movies: lots of CGI, massive explosions, frantic action... and no coherent plot whatsoever." :D

Haha. Yeah, I guess the ride can only be as good as the source material.

Definitely untrue, I don’t think most people think of the Cars movies as great, but Radiator Springs Racers is certainly a great attraction.

I'm surprised Waterworld wasn't your first thought. It's pretty crazy a box office bomb has a show in ever Universal park except Orlando

Fair points, and I was thinking in terms of story. Radiator Springs Racers is a fun ride because of the ride system and scenery. And Transformers is fun because of the Scoop system and intensity. But I don't think either ride has the story or buildup to consider them classics. I haven't seen Waterworld the show, but I actually didn't hate Waterworld the movie. It was definitely a box office failure. It was too long and could have benefited from some better dialogue and a better casting choices. But I thought the concept and story were interesting, and I've always liked the post-apocalyptic genre, which I know isn't for everyone.

Haven’t made it out to USH to see it yet, but I’m sure that’s another great example.

These are all good critiques of Transformers for sure

I was speaking more to the untapped potential of the scoop vehicle itself

Universal has really only used it as a vehicle for a Spiderman or Transformers style of attraction

I think it could be more versatile

The elevators in Transformers are an interesting idea, but they were built out of necessity

I was postulating on the potential for the elevators or some kind of drop mechanism (like ToT) to be utilized with the Scoop, could be very interesting

Jurassic World Adventure in Beijing proved this concept. I bet the Ministry expands on it even further.

I'd love to see something like the RotR elevator drop scene but with the Scoop (if possible, I'm not sure about all the nuts and bolts of it all)

IMO where Rise really...well...rises above is utilizing multi-levels and elevators to create some unique sensations

I know we try to say “oh they don’t build X because of Z”… but I can’t imagine Rise isn’t in the back of their mind desigining their biggest ride here. I’m hopeful!

Well, that's my problem with Forbidden Journey. Which Hagrid's corrects.

I will say this, the earlier suspended version of the Jurassic World Adventure ride was ambitious, and would have been extremely unique, BUT, the money they saved on the ride system switching to SCOOP was all spent on the massive impressive animatronics.

Food for thought on the Ministry ride.

Let Antarctica be a lesson. What if it had just been a simple bus bar or even an omnimover?

If the SCOOP is attached to that lifting mechanism, though, I'm hooked!
