I went to Universal Studios Florida this past weekend. They have a Transformers ride. Most people hang out at the Harry Potter ride so it was fairly easy to get on Transformers. I was actually very impressed with it despite it being Bayformers. There was no shakycam crap, since they can't do that in a ride -- the only shaking is from the ride vehicle. It is almost identical to the Spider-Man ride, where you sit in a vehicle and it moves you on a track between 3D scenes with an illusion of motion.
The best part is the illusion of scale that you have. You actually feel like you're in an Autobot in car mode with giant robots all around you. And when the Autobot spins his tires, they actually make the ride vehicle feel like your tires are peeling out. If you're in one of the places they have Universal Studios, definitely check it out.
There used to be a Gundam motion simulator ride at Fuji-Q Highland in Yamanashi Prefecture where you moved through A Baoa Qu. https://youtu.be/kOC1JyAcIqQ
Anyone else know of any good /m/ themed rides at any amusement parks around the world?

Yokohama Exotic Showcase `89 had some 3d/live stage/misc attraction roughly similar to MuppetVision 3d and Alien Encounter.

It's got aliens, a robot, pretty sure Furuya voices somebody in it. Basically it's Generic OVA The Experience

Japanese coasters don't mess around on the whole. The ones in Fuji-Q Highland are particularly intense, far moreso than Hulk and Rip Ride Rockit.
But these don't let you pick Kickstart My Heart as your background music. But it does go from 0-107 MPH in 1.6 seconds, which is so fast you can't really hear correctly.

I'm usually a big chicken, as I grew up on a steady diet of Epcot educational rides. But I can do some coasters.
It occurred to me that Kong is sort of kaiju themed, and they just rolled that out. That's an interesting ride, as it's a free roaming motion simulator vehicle, but has no track, and uses 3D screens on all sides of the vehicle.
I got a devil worship implement at the Harry Potter thing.

I still haven't caught Harry Potter yet. Looks neat
Wife and I have been on the fence about passes for a while. We're busy enough that we're not sure we'll get our money's worth out of an AP, but single days are so expensive that it's hard to justify that.
And she's not big on HP, neither of us are into thrill rides really, she's keen on Frozen and to a lesser extent princess shit, so we're waffling between eventually Uni or WDW passes.
I hear good stuff about the Uni food, especially for the prices compared to Disney.

Yeah, the restaurants at Universal are cheap. Most are $14-15, and the "expensive" ones are around $22. We ate at Mythos, and at the San Francisco themed restaurant, and both were fantastic.
Disney no longer moulds faces onto their animatronics, they project them on so they look hyper realistic. The animatronics have evolved far beyond Universal's in terms of range of motion. If you're not into HP or thrill rides, Disney is the place to go.
Truth be told I still prefer Disney. But they really need to get Imagination overhauled back to its drug trip induced 80s style.
