Transformers: The Ride – 3D – what you wish you knew before you experienced it
Evac, your ride vehicle, is a Transformer and serves as the story’s narrator. This is important to know before the ride gets going, as it explains the voice you’re hearing and why your vehicle is getting involved in the fight.
Also, since we’re at it, N.E.S.T. stands for Nonbiological Extraterrestrial Species Treaty—an important part of the films on which the attraction is based.
How scary is Transformers: The Ride – 3D?
We rate Transformers three out of five Starscreams. The unique combination of state-of-the-art 3D projection, motion simulation, and intense battle sequences may be frightening to some. That being said, there is no actual high-speed movement, and the storyline is similar to what you’ve seen in the Transformers films (i.e., lots of robots fighting).
What was Transformers: The Ride – 3D’s opening date?
June 20, 2013
Fun Fact
This is the third installation of the Transformers ride at a Universal theme park—the first is at Universal Studios Singapore, while the second is in Hollywood. They all feature 13 screens up to 60 feet high.
Orlando’s version was built on the site of the former Soundstage 44, which was home to a couple of different experiences (Hercules and Xena: Wizards of the Screen and Murder, She Wrote Mystery Theater) and, typically, a Halloween Horror Nights haunted house during the fall.
Meet-and-greet
Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Megatron regularly make appearances for meet-and-greets inside Universal Studios Florida. Although their hours are unpublished, they usually appear between 10:00 a.m. and one hour before park closing each day.

A very innovative motion platform vehicle dark ride that competes with the legendary Spider-man the ride. There is a great integration of digital action sequences, physical sets, elements, and music throughout. 9/10 stars
Almost didn’t go on this one but glad I did. Had some of the most fun of all the park.
5 Stars. This ride was a pleasant surprise which I really enjoyed. Having seen all the movies and being a fan of the franchise I looked forward to the ride but it was better than I expected by far. Fun mixture of movement and 3D Realism. Loved it.
My all time favorite ride ever! My husband and I are season pass holders and when there is nothing going on in our city (Punta Gorda, FL). We make our way down to Universal. We ride all the rides and to date, Transformers is still by far our favorite!
To all of the Transformer haters this ride was the bomb. I first did the Spiderman ride then Transformers.The Transformers was better by far. I give it 5 stars all day.
