I have read about this ride on jimhillmedia.com and mouseinfo.com. I have also heard about this ride from a news report on the disney parks podcast, inside the magic. Which is a great podcast by the way for those of you who enjoy the disney parks. :wink:

I am excited to see what it will be like.

Depends on the time of year. During the peak capacity days we are talking about 55-70 minute wait times and during the slower times you are looking at 30-45 minutes. The attraction is still new and there really isn't as much to do in DCA to draw the people away. I say that because I'm talking about large shows like fireworks, parades, etc. YES I know they have 2 parades but I have been there during the parades, they really don't draw that many people. Once World of Color starts next year I think the wait times during it will be in the 15-20 minute range.

Yep...I went to DCA on a slow day that happened to have a bit of rain with it (cleared out the park amazingly...it was DEAD) and there was still a 30 minute line. Because of no FP at the version in DCA the line moved quickly, but it was still surprising to see the extended queue open on such a slow, "dead" day.

In mid-February, I waited 45 minutes to ride, and I got in the queue just 15 minutes after the DCA gates opened... It was well worth it though, I found it more fun and immersive than Astro Blasters. The 8 people per car isnt an issue, as you'll only ever see the rider beside you! The different "types" of carnival games you play in the ride are quite fun!

The friendly competition with your partner is also a great bonus!

I found a TSM guide like the BLAB one I found on VisionsFantastic. It'd be pretty neat to have and check out.

I played this at the Studios in Orlando. My whole group enjoyed it. I can't wait to do it again.

I'm a TSM fan!

It was a blast! We waited about 35 minutes the first time, 40 minutes the second and 25 minutes for the third (it was about an hour before park closing and the crowds had pretty much gone to DL)

We got to ride it twice in a row since it was park closing time and we were in the wheelchair accessible ride vehicle. Talk about arm fatigue...it was my worst score out of all 4 times on the ride with the worst accuracy.

I was able to go on TSMM for the first time 2 weeks ago, and my far, is my favorite attraction in DCA. Definately worth the 1 hour wait.
