Transformers adventure ride debuts in Singapore

Universal Studios Singapore is about to become home to the world’s first Transformers adventure ride, which will blend 3D digital media and special effects with an interactive ride, reports Today Online.

Transformers the Ride opens officially to the public on December 3, although the film franchise’s executive producer and director Michael Bay – who served as a creative consultant to the theme park – will be on hand the day before to give the ride a proper send off.

"I am very excited about the debut of this attraction at Universal Studios Singapore," said Bay. "Finally, ‘Transformers’ fans will not only have the chance to watch the Autobots battle the Decepticons on screen; they’ll actually be part of the action."

The ride will place fans right in the heat of battle as they are tasked with helping the Autobots protect a shard of Allspark, a fictional substance that gives them life. Twelve 3D scenes will be mixed with a physical ride as the guests try to outrun the franchise’s antagonists, the Decepticons.
