Transformers: The Ride 3-D at Universal Studios® Florida
Perhaps the biggest talk and most recent opening in Orlando on July 20, 2013. Based on the famous Transformers movie series, visitors jump into a 3-D Transformer simulator and your narrator, and get ready for the biggest battle between fiction and reality. Led by the ruthless Megatron, Decepticons have brought the war to the streets as they try to take possession of the AllSpark and enslave humanity. As an N.E.S.T. recruit, you’ll join the new Transformer EVAC, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and the other Autobots in a 3-D ride to defeat Megatron and his Decepticons. The ride houses 14 custom-built screens towering up to 60 feet tall. Riders wear state-of-the-art 3-D glasses that are far superior to traditional movie-theater glasses. You’ll race along along 2,000 feet of ride track at perceived speeds of up to 60 mph. The unique combination of state-of-the-art 3-D projection, motion simulation, and intense battle sequences may be frightening to some children, so parents must be the judge given three’s no actual high-speed movement in the simulator ride and the storyline follows the Transformers movies. It is the most popular ride at Universal Studios, so you’ll get plenty of time to visit the spectacular Wizarding World of Harry Potter and the exciting Forbidden Journey simulator ride.
SeaWorld’s Antarctica™ Empire of the Penguins
Come to SeaWorld Orlando® to explore the biggest and most mega-expansive attraction in the theme park’s history. Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin is an epic and unique combination of animal encounters with an exciting, first-of-its-kind family ride guided through the eyes of SeaWorld’s new iconic hero, a penguin named Puck™, for a one-of-a-kind family-fun experience. You’ll be transported into to the icy and majestic South Pole wonderland and see it through the penguins’ eyes, then step out and explore the cool extremes as you catch a glimpse of the South Pole. It’s an amazing adventure that will thrill everyone in the family. Of course, while you’re there you also have more thrills and chills with the park’s marine-life and -animal-based excitement, like Shamu, spectacular stage shows and chilling rides.

What’s to Come and How to Get Here
