Universal Orlando Announces Newest Ride: Transformers!

Sharing is caring!

It has been a few years (January 2010 to be exact) since we went to Universal Studios in Orlando Florida and we are all counting down the days until we go back – literally!  We were already excited and when the news that a new ride would open the day we arrive (June 20th) the boys just about hit the roof with joy!  Seriously!  Transformers!

Universal Orlando Resort’s next blockbuster attraction will be the widely-popular TRANSFORMERS: The Ride – 3D.  The groundbreaking ride – created under license from Hasbro, Inc. and based on its iconic TRANSFORMERS brand – will bring the intergalactic battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons to Universal Studios Florida in summer 2013.  For more information about the attraction, visit www.prepareforbattle.com.

Oh the boys are so excited!

TRANSFORMERS: The Ride – 3D is a mind-blowing, action-packed ride experience that pushes the limits of technology to place guests in the middle of a larger-than-life battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons.

The battle begins when guests enter the NEST facility – the headquarters for the government operation that partners with the Autobots to protect Earth from the Decepticons. While inside, they are recruited to help protect the AllSpark – a powerful energy source that would allow the Decepticons to destroy the planet. Guests board EVAC – an Autobot created exclusively for the attraction – to transport the AllSpark to safety. But of course, the Decepticons are in close pursuit…

The EVAC looks super cool, doesn’t it?  I am stoked to see how we will board it and how it will work.  Yes, I am a bit of a geek – so what?  I love this kind of stuff.  🙂

When we went last, Harry Potter wasn’t open yet – had we waited another couple months it would have been.  We could see the Castle, but it wasn’t done.  Yeah, they were so disappointed then but going nuts now!

Oh, and though we tried several times in the 2 days at Universal last time, we weren’t able to do Spiderman – there were issues and we missed out.  This time, however, it is on the top of our list – especially since it is now in High-Def 3D!

We also know that we will be eating at Mel’s Diner and Nascar Café for Tripp – he is kind of a car fanatic.

What rides should we be sure not to miss?
