My hubby rode it while I took our daughter elsewhere and he said it's not bad that I'd probably like it,don't know if he was just saying that or not! What do you guys think? Is it scary? Should I go for it?
Definitely go for it. It is a lot of fun :D It is fairly smooth so you don't get jerked around a lot like on Space Mountain. The only thing is your head does bounce around a bit so you want to keep your head back on the headrest if you can. And the music is super loud ~ you might want earplugs :shock: But it really is a cute roller coaster...ummmm...stretch limo!
I'm definately going to go for it,I think I'll like it.I was just wondering what other people thought about it.I can be a bit of a chicken with coasters but that one just sounded fun!! I'll have to remember the earplugs,I like Aerosmith but as I get older I find I'm disliking my music loud!! Boy, I'm turning into my parents!! lol!!! :D

Yeah, there is a decibel limit that I don't like to exceed anymore ~ and this coaster definitely pushes past that limit :shock: The earplugs come in handy in a lot of shows and attractions in WDW...

And not just any old earplugs either. Custom made, blue swirl, glow in the dark ear plugs. If you're going to make a scene, be seen! ;)

Did you get to hear it? I was a bit bummed that it was on when I was at my first house teaching. I didn't even get to hear a little bit of it in the car :( Glad I could help a pesky ole rabbit out ;) :lol:
You can ask NaCler what he thought of my earplugs. He saw them glowing away in the Universe of Energy attraction :mrgreen:
