I'm literally at the hotel after spending the day at USH and thought I'd post my two cents...
ok... So I rode this twice today.
I will say this....
WAIT FOR THE FRONT.
We rode first thing and were in the middle row... I personally enjoyed the ride much much more when I was in the front.
After my first ride I actually thought... "Well, that was good"...GOOD... not "OMG awesome"... Not "WOW", it was good... It was fine...
I think the line theming is fine.... I have read people's complaints about this, I only ever lined up internally and I would say the line theming is as good as spidey's.... Although IMO spidey's isn't great.
So let's cut to the chase,
I felt that transformers wasn't/isn't as good as spidey...
Here's why:
It's basically the same ride.. yet not as good.
I wasn't concerned about it being the same ride system as spidey in fact that prospect excited me a little... But to me it isn't just the same system.. it's the same damn ride.
The scene with the truck driving towards you.. It's here but it's a brick wall not a truck
The scene where a fireball is shot at you... It's in here, yet they use a red and orange light not actual fire.
The falling scene at the end where you are saved last minute... Its here too, yet you don't feel the "oh crap we're falling" like I do in spidey.
The grand rising up part is missing and man it misses something that impressive... To me that makes the falling scene what it is.
The real life sets arent as good as spidey's...
The effects ie wind, heat , water AGAIN aren't as good as spidey's... I found myself thinking "there should be wind here" or "that flame should be real"
Someone said there's a part In between scenes where there appears to just be a picture of a city on the wall..
They're right. It's just a flat photograph on the wall, it feels lazy, it felt like an after thought.
On a more positive note I'm unsure of timings but this felt longer than spidey to me. It may just be that it feels longer but it felt like there were more scenes. I felt myself thinking.."I have been riding this for a while" and that was a really good
Having the transformers battle it out right in front of you is cool as hell....
And I like the story.
I will be delighted to have this in the park, it's an awesome franchise to have and the ride is sill pretty damn good.... It just feels like the not as good sequel.
The kids are gonna love it, the everyday theme park goer is gonna love it, I LOVE it... I just love spidey a lot more...
And they're gonna shift a whole load of toys and merchandise because of it!!
Just my thoughts.
