Yeah, it is a carnival ride thrown in a Disney park. But so is Space Mountain.. Only difference is that Space Mountain is so dark you have no idea! Sure it's theming is not on Disney par, but it is a good spinning ride. If it were at another park it would get much higher ratings. I still like it! (7/10) - Lexi R

Bland and ugly. Remove this cardboard cut-out carnival ride and all of DinoRama. It's really holding Disney's Animal Kingdom back. - Bryce McGibeny

This whole area should be bulldozed. - Jacob Sundstrom

It's a standard off-the-shelf spinning coaster...But boy is it fun! The drops give air time; spins provide thrill. The theme throughout it not the best, and should be better, but works with the area. It's slightly intense, and whirl of a time! 8/10. - David L.

Wish the seats were better. But other than being smushed in this ride is pretty cool. I like the spinning and the drops are to fun. - Justin Knight

The most painful, uncomfortable, and just not fun attraction at WDW. - Sean Huckel

This ride is only worth it if there is less than a 15 minute wait. The seats aren't super comfortable and the spinning sometimes makes me a little dizzy. However, there are two drops during the ride that are fun. The theme for the ride reminds me of a trip to a state fair, nothing fancy. Not a ride you expect to see at Disneyworld but to be fair, it is an average experience. If there is a long line skip it and head for Everest. - Mickey Black

Not worth waiting for more than 5 minutes. Poios lime you are not in a Disney park. 4/10 - Denis Del Bianco

a fun little coaster, great for a family, and the carny style theming does add a lot to the atmosphere - travis traymoore

A very dizzy ride, but a mild coaster. It spins for most of the ride. A good ride, but not my favorite in the Animal Kingdom. - Matthew Harackiewicz

I think it is a fun and that as a six year old at that time it was better than everest - Manny Rodriguez

The reason Walt Disney entered (in some respects, created) this industry in the first place was because he hated things like this. Represents the Eisner era perfectly. - Man-Eating Sharks

Nothing great. It's like something you'd get on in a funfair. Hurts my back too and is not up to Disney's standards. 4/10 - D H

The thing that really annoys me is that they make a humongo deal that DCA has a wild mouse coaster that is "worse than Disney standards," but this is pretty much the same and nobody makes a big deal about this. - Reggie Templeton
