Posted on 01-25-2008 at 08:04 AM by Tim Formas
According to IESB.net, Hasbro and Paramount Studios are in early talks with an amusement park about building a Transformers-themed amusement park ride. Although plans and talks are early in the development, the ride being suggested is being called a "dark ride". Per Wikipedia, a "dark ride is an indoor amusement ride where riders in guided vehicles travel through specially-lit scenes that characteristically contain animation, sounds, music, and other special effects." According to the tipster, one concept involves an amphibious vehicle that guests will board and then find themselves in the middle of a battle between the warring factions. According to our tipsters, the designers were told that some Transformers could not be used because they will not be surviving the second film and third film! The development and construction of a typical ride takes two to three years, so completion of this project is expected around the time of release of Transformers 3 in 2011 or 2012.
