This is a great ride! Sure, not a ride for thrill seekers, but very relaxing, and very cosy, as it is quiet on the inside and very peaceful, I love it! The ride feels very private, and what I like is the fact that the boat really makes you feel like you're just flowing across the water, it never makes you think that you are being pulled along by an underwater track. 8/10 - jack briggs

Like the venerable old Ghost Train, this living & breathing antique is a total pleasure to behold and experience -- but emphatically NOT if you're looking for any kind of THRILLS. Run to 'Infusion' or 'The Grand National', or 'The Big One' (or even 'The Wild Mouse'!) if you're looking for that. No, this is a decidedly NO-thrill ride -- a gentle excursion into the past, both literally and figuratively, as you travel the waterways of the world and explore the far reaches of the globe in search of barely animated papier-mache figures and scenes of charming quaintness. Kids and adults alike can enjoy this lazy dawdle through simulated antiquity where, UNlike Valhalla, they will have no fear of even getting damp, let alone inundated! This is one of those rides about which it can truthfully be said "they don't make 'em like THAT anymore"! Enjoy! (But the thrill-addicts among you may want to bring an exciting BOOK -- OR a hot DATE! After all, the other name for this ride is 'The Tunnel of Love!) - Paul Clemens
