It makes NO sense whatsoever. Like, none. Can someone else who has been on both comment because I really can't stress enough how similar the two rides are. Not just because of the ride system, but even down to animation, narrative and pacing. Flernghh.
Im so torn about this, Transformers is such a great, strong ride, but it's weird having it right next door to Spiderman.
I wonder if it would ever go to Universal Japan, that would be even worse, but at the same time Transformers would be very popular in Japan.
And yes, I found a number of scenes felt similar.
-Megatron shooting the missile and blowing a hole in the roof/wall = hobgobiln throwing the pumpkin.
-Megatron trying to grab onto EVAC whilst you try to reverse away, then failing because he bumps a water main, wetting his mechanicals = Doc Ock grabbing your arm with one of his tentacles, then failing because rips off the front fender and loses his balance.
-Getting wet by the water main = getting wet by hydro.
-Ravage jumping on your bonnet and snapping = venom jumping at you off the tank and slashing at you.
-Starscream hooking you with a cable and flying you through the air = hobgoblin grabbing you and flying you behind his hoverboard.
-Traveling down the tunnel, EVAC: "wrong way, we're trapped", spinning looking for a way out = spinning out of control in the sewer on spiderman.
-Falling off the top floor of a half built skyscraper when megatron pulls you = the drop on Spiderman
-Getting saved by bumblebee running in to catch you = spiderman throwing out a web to catch you.
