N.E.S.T.
As you pass through Production Central in Universal Studios you can’t miss the N.E.S.T Base. Sitting atop is a giant 28-foot statue of Optimus Prime. Video monitors placed strategically throughout the queue welcome you into the world of N.E.S.T. Briefings along the queue share the actions of the Autobots and N.E.S.T.

EVAC propels you down 2,000 feet of track and you are caught in the middle of an intergalactic war. As the Transformers duke it out all around you, audio effects, high definition projections and motion simulation make it feel real.
