Looks like the most fun film of 2007 is looking to become the most fun time at the amusement park as well. IESB gives us this:
Paramount Studios and Hasbro are in talks to bring Autobots and Decepticons to a lucky amusement park. We have confirmed with a studio source that our tip is indeed accurate. Our original tipster tells us that while it is still very early in the planning stages, Paramount is eyeing the opening of the attraction between Transformers 2 and 3.
What kind of attraction/ride would it be? First lets be very clear that it’s still in the very early stages of planning and Paramount has just started talking with various Los Angeles based engineering firms that specialize with these types of attractions. As of right now it is NOT, and I repeat NOT, a simulator ride in the vein of Star Tours but instead the early concepts are of a “Dark Ride.”
I know what most of you are thinking, “Robert, what the fuck is a Dark Ride?” This is were Wikipedia helps : “A dark ride or darkride is an indoor amusement ride where riders in guided vehicles travel through specially-lit scenes that characteristically contain animation, sounds, music, and other special effects.”
Ok, personally I’m not all that into amusement parks. They’re fun once in a while, but I’ve never been enamored with them the way a lot of my friends are. But sure… put in some kind of attraction where I get to come face to face with some Autobots or Decepticons in an adventure style ride? Hell ya I’m there!
No word at this time where the attraction would be, so we’ll keep an eye on this.
