Autobots: Roll Out!

Hey there nerds,
If you haven't had the chance to experience the new Transformers: The Ride: 3D: Fighting Robots! ride in Universal Studios Hollywood or Orlando, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!  If you like 3D, or fighting robots, or action, or crazy motion ride vehicles, or run, you should have already ridden it by now.

What I want to talk about this time around is the new character meet & greet location Universal Studios Hollywood has put up in front of their Transformers ride.  Since opening, the Hollywood park has had a location near the Transformers gift shop where you can meet Optimus or Bumble Bee for pictures.  If you haven't seen the character costumes for the Transformers, they're AMAZING.  Its a head to toe costume, requiring the actor inside to walk on stilts to pull off the hight of the robots.

The Transformers characters have always been a huge hit with park guests, regularly attracting long lines for a picture.  Recently, Universal upgraded their photo location to include large, armory style metal looking doors to provide each robot a dramatic entrance and exit.  They also added dialogue for each robot (music for Bumble Bee), including the name of the child our adult they are posing with.  Most importantly, Megatron is now in the rotation of Transformers you can meet with.


Nerds, ROLL OUT!
