    The designs aren't particularly consistent, dotm Optimus (awesome statute btw), rotf Bee, tlk Owt rawd, and g1 esque Windblade.
    Is there more to it? Looks lacking, the bar better have a glowing blue energon drink.

    Have they retooled the hulk ride into some kind of devastator launching coaster?

    That is exactly what they’ve done. This Transformers land is their substitute for Orlando’s Marvel land, because Disney beat them to the punch with Marvel attractions at Hong Kong Disneyland and Shanghai Disneyland - their contract with Marvel has no power there.

    That or the Driller from DOTM.

    (Hey, random movieverse thought: I don't suppose this huge development is more evidence that if things don't work out with Paramount, Hasbro will just opt out and go with Universal for future TF movies?)

    Lazy, this is why the imagineers at Disney continue to put everyone to shame. Universal only care about harry potter it seems nowadays... Don't get me wrong the Hogwarts and diagon alley do look insanely good, but there is so much more they could do. At this point they may as well relinquish that marvel license in Orlando, it's absolutely wasted now on that dated island of adventure bit which I'm sure they can't do much with?

    This! However, I heard that Disneyland's Web-Slingers: A Spider-Man Adventure is nothing compared to Islands of Adventure's own Spidey attraction. And besides, Disney still gets compensated on Marvel merchandise sold at IoA.

    As much as I would love to see Universal phase out Marvel Super Hero Island to allow Walt Disney World to have their own Avengers Campus, this may never happen in a million years. :(

    There have been rumblings and rumours about deals and all that which is probably kinda true with that new guardians coaster coming to Epcot (god Epcot needs something doesn't it?).

    Omg that Spiderman ride is something else, absolutely love it. I only ever went on the newer updated 4k one but it was a blast!

    Universal would be mad to give up that license though, they've got Disney's balls in a vice on this one and they know it. But going back on topic, demolishing the marvel bit and creating a transformers (well re housing and expanding it) or even star trek themed bit would be kinda cool. Heck I'd settle for any number of properties. Actually heck destroy the outdated men in black bit and put transformers there too lol

    I’m also looking forward to Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind! I also heard Walt Disney World has filed a permit for the Tower of Terror attraction, which is most likely a refurbishment.

    Disney May Be Gearing Up to Transform Tower of Terror – Inside the Magic

    I need to visit Disneyland Paris soon (they've already renovated the tower of terror into guardians). I want to take my little one there when he's like 4 or 5 but hopefully by then they'll have the new star wars/marvel and frozen stuff all built :D 

    Be a while before I go back to Orlando or California!

    This might mean Metrobase won’t be limited to the live-action film series after all!

    Early access!Nearly 10,000 BMW fans checked in at Universal Studios Beijing yesterday!
    2021-12-13 22:56 HKT

    Here at Universal Studios!


    Universal Studios Beijing is the fifth Universal Studios in the world. It took seven years to build and cost tens of billions. Now it is finally open for trial operation. The first thing to do is to take a group photo on the iconic Earth!

    But the location of the earth mark is not inside the Beijing Universal Studios, but only part of the resort area. The ticket check-in process was carried out under the magnificent Beijing Universal Studios Hotel. Although yesterday was a special event for the BMW Brand Day, there were still tens of thousands of people entering the venue, so queuing is inevitable, but it will definitely save time compared to the official operation.

    After entering the Beijing Universal Studios after the formal ticket check, the themed areas created by many well-known movie IPs are waiting for us to check in. The first thing I saw was the Hollywood theme area. With the footsteps on the Walk of Fame, the tour of Universal Studios officially opened!

    Third, Hollywood Boulevard meets BMW 507 unexpectedly

    Surprisingly, in the Hollywood theme area, we met unexpectedly with the first BMW element of the day, the BMW 507. As we all know, this is also the car that Elvis is very fond of. It is said that the female fans of Elvis always wrote the phone number in lipstick on the body of the white BMW 507 of Elvis. Elvis simply painted the 507 directly in red to interpret the personality with personality. . With the Myers restaurant behind the car, it just reminiscent of the United States in the 1960s, I have to say that it is full of immersion!

    Continue walking down Hollywood Boulevard, we came to the world's first Transformers theme scenic spot, everything here is closely related to the movie, and the screams at the entrance and the sound effects of the movie instantly made people notice the carefulness. Remember the decepticons of the Decepticons in Transformers 3? This behemoth from the ancient planet Cybertron, as one of the villain representatives in the movie, destroys everything with great strength and a huge body that is twisting all the time.

    Now the tourists got into the drill demon and started a thrilling roller coaster, as if to counterattack the drill demon with speed and screams. But this is also the first project that makes people feel the fear of queuing. After more than an hour of waiting for your choice, the excitement is inevitable!

    Check in the BMW pop-up garden!

    Adjacent to the Transformers Base, is BMW's limited-time pop-up garden, where innovative iX, new M3, new 4 series, and new 8 series are parked. It can be described as a good place for Bimmer to check in. Sit here, enjoy a relaxing time, and treat you too. Just look at the hard work in the line...

    What's interesting is that we also ran into Optimus Prime in the elevator area of the Transformers Base. This is a "living" Optimus Prime, who talks with people around and moves his body from time to time, and has always called on everyone to stand up and oppose the Tyrant Tiger's evil deeds, stop and watch for a few minutes, I really have the feeling of entering the movie. But then the deity of Megatron also came, and he was ridiculed by people who were good at spitting and sarcasm as Megatron. The scene became interesting for a time...

    Transformers base looking for mysterious BMW models...


    Earlier, we heard that BMW had parked a mysterious car at the Transformers base. We went to the Cybertron Cavalier Restaurant based on clues and saw arguably the most handsome and domineering BMW in the entire Beijing Universal Studios-the new M4 Shockwave. Shockwave is the shockwave of the Decepticons, the old villain in Transformers. It used to appear as a purple sports car many years ago, and now it reappears with the new BMW M4 purple appearance. It has to be said that it is very cool.
