Unfortunately, gotta wait till early 2011 for this bad boy...

'Transformers' to be Developed as Theme Park Mega-Attraction at Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Studios Singapore (http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/transformers-developed-theme-park-mega-attraction/story.aspx?guid=%7B5DEF03D1-5CDD-4100-A762-393335441BF8%7D&dist=hppr)

The attraction will fuse 3D-HD media, mega special effects and stunning robotics with a ride system that will transform perceptions of theme park experiences. The rides are scheduled to make their debuts in early 2011, first at Universal Studios Singapore and then at Universal Studios Hollywood. In "Transformers," Earth's humans are caught in the middle of an intergalactic war between the friendly Autobots and the evil Decepticons, which are able to change into a variety of objects, including cars, trucks, planes and other technological creations.

Also, (if CM doesn't mind me cross-posting from Twitter):

Backdraft and Special Effects Stages are going to be replaced with the Transformers ride

Be nice to get a new ride but I'll really miss Backdraft. I always go through it when I'm at Universal!

Sounds too cool. I might have to update my sig line to read "Walking to USH"



I just hope it's not been replaced with something new by then....

King Kong is not coming back to that spot- something new will be there fairly soon.

Sounds like it could be pretty cool (unlike the movie which was pretty suck) but this is the first I'm hearing of the mega-complex of hotels and theme parks being built on Sentosa Island in Singapore.

Boo to that.
