Re: Transformers ride | Universal Studios Florida
Arrrgh can everyone stop saying Transformers is a Spiderman clone...how about comparing some pov or riding before saying something blatantly wrong.
-Compare the size of the ride buildings on Google maps. Not the same.
-Compare screen order and turn order on the povs. .. both different. E.g. on spidey the first thing you face after turning out of tge station is a brick wall with the spider signal. On transformers you are at the first 3d screen already (ravage stealing the allspark from the robot arm ) . On spidey the second thing you face is the first screen of that ride (spideman jumping on your car)...Track then veers RIGHT towards the near miss with the garbage truck.
Meanwhile transformers the 2nd thing you face is the second screen (bumblebee racing in, fighting ravage to steal back the allspark. But after that the track turns LEFT towards the next scene.
I mean surely if there are clear differences like this in the first 20 secs alone, common sense tells you they aren't clones.
-Firstly, transformers is two levels high. They cleverly lift the car between floors by having it rise up on a lift platform in a half cylindrical shaped shaft. There is a projector on the back of the platform so the video image moves up the wall with you. The first
Same deal on the way back to ground level.
The lift up is happening in the scene where optimus says "Autobots, roll out!
The lift down happens when you fall of the tower with Megatron.
You'll notice in different povs that after the 2nd screen (bumblebee fighting with ravage) the car either just sides left away from the screen, OR does a 180 degree spin then slides along. This is because there are two lift shafts (I guess to keep capacity high) so tats the way they handle the split in the track without ruining sightlines.
Also there was a layout pic posted in this thread, so people should have seen this?
Both rides use different screens in different places...Spiderman only uses the big curved ones right at the end with the whole fight sequence up in the sky....only 2 such screens.
Transformers has 7 curved screens...4 in total for the scenes during the vertical lifts, plus 3 in the middle of the ride (getting sucked out of the tunnel by devastator and landing on the train tracks, the following screen where you chase after bonecrusher, then the 3rd screen after that where you get sucked through devistator and subsequently hooklined by starscream.
Whew that's probably enough for now...I swear it's because both rides begin with a hard left u turn out of the station that people think the rest of the ride is the same....
TLDR: Transformers is a two level attraction. Spiderman is one level (only at ground level)..... how the **** can they be clones????
