5/10 - If it was meant to be funny... It wasn't - James Wimbury

Brilliant 4D. Please wait until our friends leave the room... - Denis Del Bianco

Very delightful show, nice 3D as well. However NOT for toddlers, each time I've visited this show there's usually 4 or 5 children screaming their heads off. - John Chaffin

This is a great show, but I have seen this show about 3 different times over the years and I have to say I think it is about time to upgrade the 3-D effects. - Brent Moody

I love this ride little children might get scared but its awosome for older kids and adults.Its a must see 8/10 - Giovanny Cruz

Best 3D show in Central Florida. The story is original and the effects are excellent. Very repeatable for a show. - Andrew Carrieri

Best 4 d show I have been on. The effects are amazing, especially the bug spray effect (no spoiler here I hope). - A. P.

I think this is the surprise attraction for most people. Its a brilliantly scripted show and makes you laugh constantly. I first expected this to be just an attraction for the youngsters but to be honest, a few moments could well scare any kids under 5 or 6. Very enjoyable show! - James McGee

Why was there a need to make this show scary? All I see in it is children screaming! Bad 3D too and just generally a stupid movie. I would be impressed if a little more thought was put into it and if people would stop leaving their crap around afterwards. Also the effects only work in the middle and the 3D doesn't work if you sit on the side of the theatre. 3/10 - D H

A cute show, but not for little ones. It can get scarey and intense at times. - Sarah Durden

This is incredibly well done, though it is way too scary for little kids. What really bothers me about it is the area you wait in right before you get into the theater. You are under the tree in a small room with a low ceiling and a LOT of people. It is insanely claustrophobic. - Heather Olson

Great 4D flick. Very immersive, entertaining, and filled with fun surprises for the uninitiated! - James Rao

I loved the show! But young children, not so much! From a kids POV it's loud, scary, and the effects are too much! But for older kids and adults it's great! Parents should pre-screen this if there is any doubt in your mind about your child. Otherwise you might be walking out in the middle of it with a screaming child in your arms! 7/10 - Bob Liebe

IT'S SCARY FOR LITTLE ONES. Don't get me wrong, this is a must-see attraction, but I wish more parents gave caution and consideration to their small travel companions; there would be less kids crying bloody murder. - Stephanie I

My favorite Disney 3D film. - Marc Ricketts

good show got love that dung beattle - Manny Rodriguez

Best 4D show ever I was so scared of the hornets that I jumped out of my seat then the black widows were on my head I just sat down and was relieved someone ate the grasshopper 10/10 - Edward Morgan

If there is a sort wait time do it. Fun show, would do again. - Terri Pierce
