Here's my Transformers story. Please tell me yours.
Never saw the movie and didn't know anything about the Transformers before riding. I used the EP entrance, so may have missed whatever is in the regular queue.
I love what they do with the staff - the uniforms, the way they hurry everyone into their seating. It's fun! And it's cute.
I was delighted to see Glenn Morshower on the set-up video that plays on the many TV screens as you go through the queue. I was delighted to see the many screes, lol. Sometimes you go through a queue and can't see. This was nice. And it was captioned, which was nice because people talk through it. Glenn is one of my favorite actors, so that was a happy surprise...and he did a nice job, as always. The video did a nice job giving people like me, who have no clue about the Transformers, some idea of what the story was.
I was disappointed to see the garbage can stuffed full, with stuff on top of it and some on the floor. My mind immediately flashed to the Space Mountain queue. Clean it up, Uni!!!
The ride itself...
It's like Spider-Man, but not as fun. I had no idea what was going on or who any of those people/things were. There were a couple cool parts, like getting pulled by the rope and going down toward the ground, but mostly, I sat there thinking, "This is Spider-Man, but I'm confused."
I'll have to try again another day to see if I like it more. Very "meh" on my first experience. Maybe if I had understood the Transformers or wasn't already a big Spider-Man fan, it would have been different. I don't know much about other rides, like The Simpsons, Spider-Man, etc. I saw the Twister attraction before I'd seen the movie and enjoyed that. I figured not knowing anything about the Transformers wouldn't matter, but it may have worked against me here.
It's a good enough ride, but was not, for me, a big whup. On a scale of one to five whups, it gets a two.
Very curious about others' opinions. Did a search, couldn't find a thread.
