Nobody likes it when you’re on a theme park ride and something breaks down. Not only does it tend to ruin the fun, but it also breaks whatever immersion you’re experiencing by forcing you to come to terms with the fact that you are, in fact, only on a ride. However, I have to admit that, honestly, Transformers: The Ride might actually be a more thrilling experience when it breaks than when it’s working.
This revelation is brought to you by a post on X/Twitter, which included a video from Universal Studios Hollywood revealing what it looks like when you experience Transformers: The Ride breaking down. Not only did the attraction stop, but the lights came on, revealing something I had never actually seen before: the incredible drop that you’ll never notice during normal operation.
