Universal Studios Singapore

This guide follows the December 2011 night when director Michael Bay arrived in Singapore for the world premiere of something unprecedented: a ride built entirely around his Transformers films. You'll hear how it beat both Hollywood and Florida to becoming the first Transformers ride anywhere, its visuals built by Industrial Light and Magic, the effects house behind Star Wars, on a hundred-million-dollar budget. Best heard standing right in front of the glass-and-steel hangar that holds it.
