I went on the one in Orlando which my little brother my mom and my big sister. it was two months after opening day, and we had to wait nearly 2 hours! although it was longer cuz the ride broke down 5 times during while we were waiting in line, until one point where one of the ride attendants ran through the line handing out packets of jelly bellys to everyone saying "bee-do! bee-do!" which is a reference to Despicable Me 2. At the end we eventually got on the ride, only to realize that it was just like the amazing adventures of Spiderman at Islands of Adventure. the ride was still good although I like Spiderman better.

Since it was just six years ago or 8 I can't remember how long maybe they should start re-editing the ride with some new Autobots and decepticons from the other movies that hasn't launched before. 1: the part where ravage and steals the allspark will be added with lockdown ,wheelie, sqweeks and que 2: the part where side ways attacks bumblebee will be replaced by shatter and dropkick 3:the part where Optimus prime and Megatron both said their team names to do what they're told are true but this time with hot-rod,road buster fighting shockwave and and barricade (last knight) 4:the part where Megatron pops out of sewers will be replaced by scorponks who gets eaten by grimlock 5:the part with the devastator trying to eat the railroad tracks has hound and jolt with ratchet and Ironhide. 6:the part were bonecrusher gets attacked by sideswipe also has Dino bot strafe eating laser-beak 7:the part where The nest choppers attacked starscream will be replaced by crosshair driving some kind of space hovercraft.
