It is interesting that this gets a rating of 3 while space mountain gets a rating of 9. They are the same ride, a wild mouse in the dark with a themed queue. This ride isn't bad, just not what people expect from Six Flags. - Mark Mahoney

This is the worst indoor coaster I have ever been on. Becuase it is new we waited for 2 hours to ride. Then, waited another 10 minutes or so watching the pre-ride video. The ride was totally lame, it had reallly no surprises. Don't waster your time on this. - bob burmeister

I went in expecting very little of the ride. Thanks to so many comments here. But, don't believe all the negative hype. If you go in expecting a mouse coaster, than you will be impressed by the standards this sets for the ride. **NOTE** Do not anticipate a huge coaster like RNR. This is different and is an outstanding first step by Six Flags to move into the "Disney" Style. - Ben James

Good theming and preshow, actual coaster is very tame - Anthony Murphy
