All the adversity I've had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me...You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.

Transformers the Ride 3D


Queue line is very detailed




The Allspark

Battle Glasses, AKA 3D glasses



The ride vehicle is a newly invented Autobot named Evac


The ride itself is complex combination of a dark-ride style and giant 3D screens that put you right into the action as the Autobots defend the Allspark against the Decepticons. What makes this attraction even more amazing is that due to size restrictions of using existing buildings from the former Backdraft and Special Effects Stage attractions, the Transformers attraction actually takes place on two levels. There is a point during the ride when the vehicle enters an elevator that lifts it up to the second level and later lowers back down the first level, but the riders have no idea because the action on the screens is perfectly synchronized with the movements of the vehicle.  It's pretty amazing to actually have the feeling of falling off a building and flying around town without ever leaving the ground, simply from the vehicles movements and the giant screens.
This attraction instantly moved to the top of the list of Southern California attractions, maybe even in the world (although there is a Transformers attraction in Singapore).






The area wouldn't be complete without a Meet and Greet with Optimus Prime and Bumblebee
