Soooooo......

The blurriness hasn't anything to do with the film quality. I'm talking about the visual blur of too much digital shakey-cam. And, yes, a LOT of information gets repeated about 9000 times before you get on the ride. These aren't really complaints, just my experience. I won't feel compelled to spend much of my summer hiking down to the lower lot to ride Transformers, but I suspect I WILL be compelled to spend as much time off as I can hanging out in Radiator Springs. I'm just not getting the hyperbole that's being attached to this ride, even Al gushed! It's no dressed up slot car track, for sure. It's more like a, oh, I don't know, dressed up Spiderman ride.

I certainly want to see Universal do well, and create attractions and environments I want to experience. I buy passes to USH and Disneyland, so, you know, I want to get my money's worth. I don't get the "Universal's gonna kick Disney's ass with this one!" sort of thinking, and why does Disney need to create a "Potter killer?" They're both getting my money!

I've NEVER seen one Transformers movie nor the cartoons and yet this ride BLOWS anything Disney has done. Yes I am serious. As a female I went into the ride thinking I would seriously hate yes HATE anything like robots fighting eachother etc. yet I emerged from this ride in complete awe. I can't travel to Orlando to ride Spiderman so this is as close in my own backyard that I can get.

There is NOTHING blurry on the ride UNLESS you take off your 3D glasses and look at the screen (yes I did this when on my first ride it broke down). The cars are a bit claustrophobic but so is a lot of ride vehicles. I really feel Universal is going to give Disney a run for their money this summer. KIDS and I mean little kids maybe 5 years old if they are 40 inches were riding this ride and LOVING it.

Sorry but my expectations are very LOW for Radiator Springs only because it is like Test Track and it is definitely another clone ride. I'm not sure I will be able to go on opening day for Cars Land and I really don't care if I don't (it depends if I'm transfers to another store and my days I work) once Harry Potter is built Universal will definitely be a theme park contender.

I can tell you that plenty of Imagineers have ridden Transformers and they consider it a superior ride to even Forbidden Journey. Disney has built a pretty area with Radiator Springs, but in an industry where they used to be trailblazers, they've been stagnant for years now. UC is full of ex-Imagineers who got fed up with that.They're now designing Harry Potter West (along with an expansion to the Orlando Original)
The themed entertainment realm is full of companies started by ex Disney employees, and if they keep this up, Imagineering is gonna end up in the dust.

Mods, spoilerize my previous post, please.

I tweeted you the backstory. Not ride details. Even if the ride is a movie about shiny robots blowing stuff up in the name of the allspark it's a different move than the movies that were already released. And the ride vehicle now I just have to wait until I forget before I go.

I don't see why one park has to be better than the other. I would kill for EITHER nearby. Be happy, people.

I really am sorry for posting anything that spoilered the ride for you, really. I would hate it if someone spoilered something I was looking forward to experiencing.

I'm happy that there are new things in both parks but when someone just out right gives a horrible review on an attraction that everyone else has been raving about including little kids. I just feel like unless it's Disney Universal seems to get a bad rap. The park itself is beautiful more clean than Disneyland even when busy.

I can see Transformers having extra long lines this summer and for Halloween Horror Nights this fall, I would recommend riding it before Horror Nights u less you have a Gate A front of line pass. Because I can see people not being ale to do everything especially the Halloween stuff.

Ok back on topic Rob I agree with you there. But when I OVERHEARD ex imaginers talk about this ride it's like wow.

If it is like Spider Man then I predict I'd find it boring (not that it isn't technologically amazing, it is just not the kind of thing that appeals to me).

But I suspect I'll never find out for sure since Universal Studios never climbs very high on our list of places to go.

Congrats if they've hit a home run for most people and don't take it personally that it isn't 100% adored.

[Not Afraid]

I predict I will never ride Transformers.

I'm probably one of about 25 people who thought Spiderman was cool as ride system, but hate Spiderman the character.
