My 4 year old complained about how short the ride was. You blink and it’s over.
Pros:
Small rollercoaster for kids who don’t like rollercoasters.Cons:
Big waste of time in the park. Ride big thunder twice instead of waiting in line for this one.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 03/16/2020

Fun, short but can\\'t help but laugh all the way round because it is so short! However with long waits, not sure why would you go on the ride? Answer, you wouldn\\'t.

Don't fool yourself for one instant. This is a kids ride in every way, right down to the brevity of the ride and the tininess of the ride vehicle itself. It's a good place to start your kids on the joys of roller coasters, but it's frankly not nearly as good as Goofy's Sky School in DCA.
So feel free to skip this one without losing anything magical.
Except — it's one of the very few places where you can see Disney magic totally destroyed. Both on the ride and in the line, you can clearly see into Tomorrowland from several angles. And it's, to me, fascinating to see such a clear imagineering failure. It helps you be all the more impressed with Galaxy's Edge's complete immersion. What's more, it gives the best views of Tron construction anywhere on property. At night, the effect is particularly dramatic as Space Mountain dons its nighttime lighting scheme through the — as of early 2020, anyway — bare tracks of Tron.
So if you care at all about teaching your kid to like roller coasters, or you're an adult interested in the construction of rollercoasters, this ride is a kind of hidden gem.
But don't waste a FastPass here — unless you absolutely have to.
One special note for people who have After Hours access: nobody bothers to come to this ride late night. It's literally in the "back of beyond" — and people logically want to use that special access time for rides that are harder to get onto during the day. But that means that the cast members running it may just let you stay seated as they keep the thing going. I rode it three times in a row, without having to disembark, which made it a "normal" length coaster. So there is potentially some fun to be had here for adults, if you time things the right way.
