This stage is now the home of the Transformers: The Ride attraction. It was formerly the home of the Backdraft attraction on the Lower Lot.
Between 1980 and 1991 Stage 30 was used as one of the World of Cinemagic stages. The show was repeated in both stages to cope with the number of visitors, as all visitors to the park saw the Cinemagic show as part of the Studio Tour.
