Not sure if this has been posted already, but apparently there's plans to develop an indoor Transformers theme park in Saudi Arabia:

Seven and Hasbro to develop Transformers attractions for Saudi Arabia

Cool! Hope they enjoy.

Now Hasbro, how about some of this stuff for home base as well?
Yes, I say this knowing full well about the attraction in Universal.

 

These are always pretty nifty, it's just a shame that I can't afford to travel to all these locations to visit the cool TF stuff.  

 

Is that the Stargate portal???

 

Can you maybe build some of this stuff in America please?

 

There's 2 in Universal bud, other countries like Transformers other than America.

 

Seven and Hasbro to develop Transformers attractions for Saudi Arabia

According to the article:

 

why Saudi Arabia?

 

$$$$

 

They won't. We're their primary market because Hasbro is based here, but we don't have the space, the draw, or the funding for stuff like this here in the states. Let it be a reminder to us all (myself included) that the countries receiving the best and oddest TF stuff are just now coming into 1st world-esque status and are where the money is right now. Hasbro's going to go where the money is and right now, that's China and the UAE. Because both are willing to spend big money on the franchise. (If it wasn't for Universal Studios, I doubt the TF ride would even exist on its own.)

I think Transformers is kind of an odd property in that way. It's both ahead of its time and out of its time, all at once. As big as it was when we were little, you could've expected things like this, but it wasn't feasible. Now, it's feasible but the brand is kind of "meh" in some of the more prominent locations. (TFs *did* die in the US at one point, so it's not unheard of.)

 

It's the same vibe from people who're mad the world premiere is in Singapore.

 

1990-1992 was my early childhood. So I know how it feels. If you were into grunge though it was literally Nirvana.

 

Sincerely the people that should be mad is the people of Peru, the movie is mostly set there, they even did a big promotion of their Transformers museum!

 

Imagine if the visa to travel there is stamped with an Autobot symbol, so your passport officially has a Transformers symbol?

Matrix, that would be awesome!!!

 

Ehh sorry I’m not getting arrested in Saudi Arabia for online remarks I made about mbs.

 

Never visiting Saudi Arabia anyways for obvious reasons. Real strange decision to build this there.

 

They've got a metric f**kton of money. Not strange at all.

Maybe that was the trade off? Give Peru the honor of being the location for filming and a big event at the museum but then do the premiere in Singapore for Eastern audiences?

 

Sadly, no companies in the US want to fund something like this.

 

Universal Studios already has. There's really no need for another Transformers-themed location in the US. We can barely pay for that one, now.

 

The universal ride is honestly pretty mid. This stuff looks way cooler.
