News reaches us this morning from Florida, as 2005 Board member turbojack, is reporting that you can now purchase the Transformers Universal Studios Exclusives from Universal Studios Florida. These figures include repaints of deluxe Dark of the Moon Optimus and Bumblebee. Sadly, no Evac as of yet. These figure were sighted in the T2 ride gift shop.

Could this be further evidence that the Transformers Ride will be making it's way to Universal Studios Florida? Time will tell. Click the title bar to speculate

Now I'm hoping they make it to one of the gift shops on the outside of the park.

Yeah? Anyways.....good news to people whom live/plan to go to Florida, but I just never wanted an Evac in the first place. Still an other easy pass, but good to have more places for others to get 'em.

I'd expect them to put in a TF: the Ride installation at Orlando, in fact I suspect it's going to go where Amity/the Jaws Ride used to be. That's a LOT of land that still hasn't officially been put towards anything yet, and since Jaws seemed to be popular for some reason (rode it once, I thought it kinda sucked) Universal will need to put in a big-ticket attraction to make up for it.

All the land that was once Amity is being used for the new Harry Potter area. It's going to be a Gringotts ride and diagon alley theme. The plans for the whole area are available online if you search for them.


If the Transformers ride is going to Universal, it's going to be at the site of the soundstage they just demolished near the Blue Man Group theater. The project description for that area sounds like the Transformers ride.

I'd heard rumors about the Harry Potter expansion, didn't know the plans could be located though. Or about the demolished soundstage area having outlined plans for its future.

Here's the building layout for the Harry Potter area. The same site has info on the rumored Transformers ride too:


Wizarding World of Harry Potter expansion building layout may be shown in Jaws ride replacement ‘Project 722′ filing by Universal Orlando | Inside the Magic

And I say rumored only because there's been no announcement from Universal. The crane to start building Transformers arrived on site the other week.....

wait, there's voyager optimus and megs? are they just the dotm toys?

anyways, this is good news. i hope the ride and evac come soon.

Yes, just the DOTM Voyagers in new boxes. Yikes at the $40 price though.

Anyway, excited about the prospects of the Ride coming to Orlando. I'll definitely be there if and when it's open.

Really want it to come to Orlando. I've been planning a trip there, and that would be awesome timing.

As far as the figures go, I do want Evac.

Very interesting! Thanks for showing me that site, I love looking at stuff related to the infrastructure of amusement parks to see how they work behind the scenes.

If I am going to Florida. I hope Evac is avaliable.

Not to sound rude, but did anyone really not expect this? The ride or the toy?
The Crazy Collector
Anyone have any comparison pics between the regular release toys, and the ones that are being released as "Park Exclusives?" I keep hearing that they have different decos or paint apps or something from the regular release, but they look the same to me......
jackgaughan
I'm sad that Universal Orlando are getting rid of Vamityville, and the Jaws ride, but it is cool how it's getting the Transformers ride, hope I can go again.
turbojack
I'm going back to Universal Studios next week and I'll let y'all know when they are getting the Evac figures. The figures they have now are just the DOTM figures repackaged. Except the deluxe Optimus is the Walmart exclusive with the DOTM voyager Primes mechtech weapon and the voyager Prime has a different mechtech weapon. Bee and Megatron are the same figures. I'll do a little more digging and see what I can come up with.

whats the box look like? I was at the Hollywood ride last week but didnt remember seeing voyagers there. just lots of Kreos and deluxes
RedAlert Rescue
I hope I can chase up an Evac some time (easy though that is not - with being in the UK) as I think he has a look about him thats suitable to hang around with the Wreckers.

It would be pretty neat if they decided to make another wave of toys that consisted of the ASIAN exclusive DOTM Deluxes - I wonder if the Hasbro Global Development Organisation have got that covered ?

Much appreciated!

You know that cheap and cheerful Deluxe movie prime (with Trailer?) would go quite well with the idea of a new Pepsi Prime too - especially when Pepsi are running a campaign called "Transform your patch".
rxlthunder
Didn't they have Classics there a while back?

I think it's because he's just a redesigned Roadbuster with Sideswipe's head.

I won a Evac off of ebay for $35 shipped. Saved the money on a ticket and gas. Cannot wait for the ride to open next year. Then I will buy a Year Pass.
optimusprimeroc
