Most of the effects can either be achieved with CSS3 (animations) or
Javascript, Rails is all about the serverside, these kinds of
animations are clientside and thus need clientside scripting. Keep in
mind that CSS3 animation support is very limited at this time in most
of the current browsers (Safari seems to be way ahead of everyone else
on the animation front). Also, it's not going to be a trivial task to
achieve that kind of animation.
For what it's worth, I myself and quite a few people I know (even non-
developers) hate this kind of site where you have to wait for about 15
seconds before the actual content appears. It doesn't add anything
useful to the site itself, except for a delay in getting to the
information you want. Animation should be an added value, not a means
of being fancy and dandy.
However, looking back at your original question (and the title of this
thread), you are looking for Powerpoint/Keynote-like transitions. As I
originally responded, both of these can be achieved with CSS3 (most
performant on mobile devices) or Javascript (works cross-browser).

Ya, I was just looking at the source and found out it was flash...
But how can I do the same thing with Rails and without flash?

That is not really a Rails question, but the effect is done using
Flash. Please don't do it, it is horrible to have a site that relies
on flash. Think of those with limited bandwidth. Also it will not
work on many mobiles, and some users disable flash due to the security
issues.
