Universal Orlando to Open Transformers The Ride 3D

optimus primeUniversal Orlando Resort has announced that it will open Transformers: The Ride 3D in the summer of 2013.

Already at Universal Studios Singapore and Universal Studios Hollywood, Transformers: The Ride 3D is an action-packed experience that will have travelers dodging explosions, fighting off attacks by Decepticons and battling alongside Optimus Prime and the Autobots.

Universal worked closely with Michael Bay, the award-wining director of the “TRANSFORMERS” film series and the ride’s creative consultant, to create an authentic experience that brings the non-stop action of the films to life.  The attraction combines the larger-than-life TRANSFORMERS characters and an exciting storyline with life-like HD CGI media, state-of-the-art 3-D technology and amazing special effects to place riders right in the middle of an epic battle between good and evil.

“We broke the mold and have taken this ride to a new technological level in terms of blending seamless 3-D,” said Michael Bay, director of the “TRANSFORMERS” films.

“TRANSFORMERS: The Ride – 3D is the perfect addition to Universal Orlando’s thrilling theme park experiences,” said Mark Woodbury, president of Universal Creative.  “The ride has already proven to be a hit at our Hollywood and Singapore parks, and we’re excited that Universal Orlando guests will soon be able to join the Autobots in the fight to save the world.”
