Transformers: The Ride


From worstpreviews, IESB reports that Paramount and Hasbro are in talks to bring the "Transformers" film to an amusement park, in a form of a ride. At this point, the planning is still in its early stages, but talks with various Los Angeles-based engineering firms have already begun.

According to several sources, the project is expected to be an indoor ride were fans sit in a guided vehicle which takes them on an adventure with sounds, music and other special effects. An example of this type of ride is the "Indiana Jones Adventure" at Disneyland or "Dinosaur" at Disney World, where you have just a few minutes to get out of an unthinkable situation.

Some of the rumored concepts involve an amphibious vehicle that guests will board and quickly find themselves in the middle of a battle between giant robots, which are expected to be life-size and actually transform.

The idea is to have the ride ready between "Transformers 2" and "Transformers 3," with several robots already scratched from the plans, since they won't live past the second film.

If they were really hardcore they'd make it so every eighth car transformed into a robot, and the other lucky riders could see all kindsa blood gooshing out.
