The early plans lead towards the creation of what is known as a "Dark Ride", which according to Wikipedia is 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."
One concept that has been discussed involves an amphibious vehicle that takes guests would ride into the battle of a battle between the opposing forces.
As to which characters could be used remains a mystery as designers have been told that some of the robots were unable to be used as they may not be surviving the second or third film.
Due to design and construction times, the timeline of the opening of the Amusement Ride would more than likely co-incide with the release of the third Transformers Ride.

Now if it were a ride like Disney's Indiana Jones, however, that would be pretty sweet...

If it turns up around where I live I just might go to it.

Amphibious, eh? Y'know, some movie-styled Sharkticons making some tries for the vehicle would be pretty freaky.

I sincerely hope this is true. Still, some movie-styled versions of other classic TF characters would be nice.

Shouldn't that be the third Transformer movie?

Why can't we get a good old fashion multi looped, upside down, splash down, that swings around real fast!?!
THINK ABOUT IT HASBRO, YOU COULD EVEN REPAINT IT AND SELL IT TO DIFFERENT PARKS TOO!!!

This is one of the greatest thing I ever heard! It would be so AWESOME if it had battle scenes from every TF TV series. From G1 to Animated. That would be SUH-WEET!!!

LMAO!
After all, Hasbro is ever-so-fond of the repaint! They might just do that! LMAO!
BTW, IMO...Repaints SUCK! (Unless I do the repainting myself...and in that case, it is usually REALLY funny!)

BRING IN RODIMUS PRIME,(yes, some may call me a blasphemer for this, but I get a growing feeling that Optimus kicks the bucket.)
Kup, Blurr and Wheeljack. (and oh, that's right, we need evil: Galvatron, Starscream, Blitzwing, Barricade, and so on)

It's even better when you get told where the VIP entrance is. And then missuse it somewhat.
If this is anything like that, then it will rock.

You can leave voluntarily, or refuse and eventually get thrown off. Now who wouldn't want that for a ride? This is a totally great idea.
OoOoOoOO! FUN!
