Here is the news that many of you have been waiting for ever since it was announced that Universal Studios Hollywood was getting Transformers the Ride – it’s now coming to Orlando! The announcement was posted earlier today on the official homepage of Transformers the Ride, Prepare for Battle, along with a trailer posted on Youtube, which you can check out below:

This. I knew about this as well, but they didn't officially announce it yet.
That would be epic!
Icespark
Agreed completely! This would be awesome!
I'm glad I'll finally have a chance to go on the ride too!

US is so far from us When do they start work in Russia?

It was an unconfirmed rumor at the time. This is the official announcement. I'm quite excited for this, as Universal's about an hour from where I live. Maybe I'll move a bit further northeast, and get jobs with Universal and Disney so I take advantage of the park-related perks.

I posted this weeks ago
I even posted pics from screamscape.com of them building it
Sorry if I sound rude but I hate it when I post something and poeple generally ignore it and then weeks later someone else posts it (and I didn't get a news credit for it) and everyone goes apecrap over it as if they've never heard about it when I posted it weeks ago
Search is disabled or I would find it

So that construction I saw while I was at Universal Orlando was TF: The Ride. I'll have to plan for a trip in the next couple of years.

YUS!!!
I was so bummed I didn't get to go on the ride last time I was in Singapore—now it'll be less than an hour away from mi casa. I am so pumped!!!

Oh yeah! I'm only 40 mins away!!!! Just give the opening date and I'm there.
Maybe we need a board meet up!

You do know that the ride is being built where an empty soundstage was, right? The only thing that it was used for was storage, TNA Wrestling, and Halloween Horror Nights.
All I know, is that I'm super stoked for this.

I can't wait! I think I'm going to Universal again around 2014 or 2015.
