I can go for an acid trip every once in a while! 6/10 - Eric Cartman

Last time I rode this, it looked worn and half functioning. It's long and okay. - Skipper Adam

I love how they tell the story littles will lovet. - Giovanny Cruz

Does a great job of telling the story, suitable for fans of Dr Seuss no matter how old you are. - Ben Price

Better than some of the Magic Kingdom dark rides but this one just isn't for me! Nice and relaxing and great Air Conditioning. 5/10 - D H

I love this ride! It's fun, something to stop people complaining that IOA is not for kids! - Ashleigh Noad

A nice dark ride. Usually a walk on if its not crowded. If your a fan of The Cat in The hat, ride it. 7/10 - Dominick D

It's a great ride even if you don't have kids. It's a "must do" in Suess landing! Fun is a great word to describe it. I always have a smile on my face when I'm done with the ride. 8.5/10. - Bob Liebe

This is a "Must Ride" ride every time I go to universal. Great theming, great nostalgia, and of course great story line. Love this ride. Plus, it gets you out of the hot sun for a while and into a nice A/C building! - Terri Pierce

A very solid ride. Pretty good, but nothing too spectacular. - Eric S

Good, classic dark ride. Plus you get to sit on a couch...pretty good. - Glenn Davis

What I've noticed about dark rides is that depending on what side you sit, you miss out on some things. But this ride spins you, so in addition to an insane whirlwind of awesomeness, you miss out on nothing. And luckily, the lines are practically non-existent. - Adam Powell

Cat in the Hat was a great, whirlwind of a ride but has recently been changed for the worse. The ride doesn't spin anymore, and with this vital part of the experience missing the ride inevetiably suffers. It's just no fun any more. I'll recommend it once Uni turns back on the spinning, until then I'm going to have to say sit this one out. 4/10 - Dan Huffman
