it isn't comin state side?!
NNNOOOO!!
well lucky u all who can ride it can then!
The Ride is coming to the US. Its opening in Singapore first, then in 2012, its opening at Universal Studios Hollywood, then, probably 2 years after that, in Universal Studios Florida. My 2 year projection for FL is based on a few rides coming from California to here, which averaged to about 2 years.

This ride isn't a roller coaster... why does everyone think it is?
Its not a roller coaster, its a 3D simulator ride. Think, as I've said before, along the lines of the Spider-Man ride at Islands of Adventure. Yes, it moves and isn't stationary, but it is NOT, I repeat NOT a roller coaster.

We all know who the CURRENT character Evac is, Captain Obvious... read my question again:

BTW: your non-working link should actually be:
Evac (disambiguation)?
Or you both could've done it like
this. The link can say anything you want. Pull up a quote on this post to see how.

Does it really matter that the character's name is Evac? Its just a name that Hasbro has, it doesn't matter if we got a toy with that name in 2008, or 1988, its just a name to give a toy. Hell, are you the same ones complaining that there was a PCC team named Destrons? Its a different character than what there has been. That's all that matters.
Also, it has already been mentioned that this Evac has NOTHING in common with any other characters with that name, since this is a new member of NEST who hasn't really seen battle yet, much like how the riders are new recruits as well. Helicopter Evac has seen battle, and is used to it, hence being used for search and rescue missions, this Evac is basically being used for escort missions.
