Transformers ride into Singapore



Did you ever dream of helping Optimus Prime and the rest of the Autobots out on a mission to save the world from evil Decepticons? Well, now's your chance! All you need to do is fly to Singapore, buy some tickets to the Universal Studios amusement park there, and wait in the sure-to-be long lines once it opens next week. Only a small price to pay with some robots in disguise, though, right?

Universal Studios Singapore will launch the world's first Transformers theme park attraction based on Hasbro's iconic Transformers brand on Dec 3. Transformers the Ride will celebrate its world premiere at an exclusive event on Dec 2 with Michael Bay, the director and executive producer of the Transformers blockbuster movies, in attendance.


This breakthrough attraction will feature 12 scenes, comprising sets blended seamlessly with hyper-­realistic 3D digital media and special effects to bring tactile realism to every moment.


Guests will be transported into the Transformers universe, and take part in the ultimate 3D battle against the Deceptions right alongside the ­Autobots. Also, they will get to experience Resorts World Sentosa's latest attraction – the Maritime Experiential Museum & Aquarium (Mema). Housed in an iconic steel-and-glass ship hull at the waterfront, Mema promises a new museum-going experience ­showcasing rich Asian maritime history.


And for a bite afterwards, indulge in a wide ­variety of authentic Malaysian hawker fare at RWS's ­Malaysian Food Street, which offers dishes from different parts of Malaysia.

For those of you unable to make the trip to Singapore in the next few months, you'll be happy to know that "Transformers: The Ride" will be opening in Universal Hollywood in the spring. It certainly might give the new "Star Tours" ride at Disneyland a run for it's money in terms of popularity.
