TRANSFORMERS: The Ride-3D
TRANSFORMERS: The Ride-3D is the big 3D dark ride in Production Central at Universal Studios Florida. Megatron and his Decepticons want to conquer Earth. You help Optimus Prime and Bumblebee stop them.
The concept
You've been recruited by N.E.S.T., the organisation that protects humanity from the Decepticons. The queue winds through its headquarters, where among other things you'll see a piece of the AllSpark. Then you climb into your N.E.S.T. vehicle.
The Experience
You ride past enormous screens and real sets, so film and reality blend into one another. According to Universal, there are 34 specially built screens, up to more than 24 metres tall. Robots leap out at you and you find yourself in the middle of an explosive fight for the AllSpark.

Spot the Beetle
Fans, take note: somewhere during the ride you'll see the yellow Volkswagen Beetle, Bumblebee's disguise from the original comics and TV series.
Count the robots
Besides Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Megatron, you'll see 13 other Autobots and Decepticons.
Express Pass
This attraction is part of Universal Express Pass, which lets you skip the regular queue.
Visitor information
You must be at least 1.02 metres (40 inches) tall. Children under 1.22 metres (48 inches) must ride with a supervising adult. With Child Swap, parents don't have to queue twice: one parent rides while the other waits with the child, then they swap. This attraction is part of Universal Express Pass, which lets you skip the regular queue.
Roll out!
TRANSFORMERS: The Ride-3D is spectacular for fans of the films and for anyone who loves action. Come back for a second go: there's so much going on that you can't take it all in on one ride.
