Hasbro, Paramount developing 'Transformers' ride
No word yet as to where themed experience would be installed
January 25, 2008 - PKIDelirium
- According to a recent article published by IESB.net, a popular website that focuses on movies, has stated that Paramount Studios and Rhode Island based toy company Hasbro are working together on developing an indoor dark ride based on the popular 2007 movie "Transformers."The attraction is still in its very early planning stages. The ride may open up in time with the announced 2009 sequel to "Transformers," titled simply "Transformers 2." If not then, then it may be launched around the time of the announced third "Transformers" sequel.But the question remains, where will the attraction be heading? Although not confirmed, the source claims that either Disney or Universal will be getting the ride. Even though Universal has their hands full with the whole Simpsons ride and Harry Potter mess, Universal seems to be the most likely choice as of now. It could be installed at either of the American parks or even into Universal Studios Japan, where in Japan, everything having to do with giant robots fighting would be sure to please thousands of guests a day."Transformers" hit theatres on July 3rd, 2007, in the USA, and premiered in London on June 22, 2007. It grossed over $700 million worldwide and became the 28th highest grossing movie of all time.
The movie is focused on a group of extra-terrestrial robots who can change shapes into earth objects. There is a group of good robots, the Autobots, and a group of antagonist robots, the Decepticons. The Autobots have come to Earth to protect the All-Spark, which is the greatest power in the universe, from the Decepticons.
"Transformers 2" is scheduled for a June 26th, 2009 release, with very high expectations of becoming one of the greatest, highest-grossing film franchises of all time.Doug Lane contributed to this article
