The interstellar battle between Autobots and Decepticons is coming to Orlando. Transformers: The Ride-3D is opening at Universal Studios Orlando on June 20 after already having successful openings at Universal parks in Hollywood and Singapore. <\/span><\/p>\n

The attraction will place riders alongside Optimus Prime in full HD CGI projected on 60-foot screens, with state-of-the-art 3D technology combined with other special effects in a battle against Megatron and the evil Decepticons in a battle to save humanity. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Michael Bay, director of the <\/span>Transformers<\/span><\/i> films, was brought on board to be a creative consultant on the project, tieing the attraction into the storyline of the films and creating a more authentic experience. <\/span><\/p>\n

“We broke the mold and have taken this ride to a new technological level in terms of blending seamless 3D,” Bay said in a press release. <\/span><\/p>\n

The attraction had one of the shortest build times in Universal history, with construction having started in July 2012 and the opening taking place slightly less than a year later, just in time for the summer season. <\/span><\/p>\n

“Transformers: The Ride-3D is the perfect addition to Universal Orlando’s thrilling theme park experiences,” said Mark Woodbury, president of Universal Creative in the press release. “The ride has already proven to be a hit at our [other] parks, and we’re excited that Universal Orlando guests will soon be able to join the Autobots in the fight to save the world.”<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
