Here's a contender for the biggest head-turner at this year's IAAPA Attractions Expo in Orlando. It's a real-life Transformer.
Sansei Technologies introduced its J-Deite Ride, which it is calling the industry's first transforming robot ride. "Riders can experience the thrill of being in the cockpit of a car as it transforms into a Bipedal Robot. This innovative concept can be adapted to a variety of configurations to meet the customer's specific needs," the company said.

This might be great for those watching (eventually) but does it really enhance the ride experience?
