Good for the U8s, little to offer anyone older. - Mark Moore

Very good ride for kids, and has a few areas that are fun for adults. Has many sections where it spins the trains ala in Spider-man or Men In Black that are pretty fun. But more a kid ride or for first timer adults. - Chris Shafer

Very, very trippy ride. Still a good ride though. - Andy B

great ride for the little kids - tyler bell

This ride is a step into Dr. Seuss' world with laughter and fun for everyone. This ride followed by brunch at Circus Magurkus is a family tradition for us. We only regret that Universal no longer has the free show that took place inside Circus Magurkas when it originally opened in 1999 complete with an organist and all the Seuss characters performing! They still perform at intervals but that original show was magic. - jim mclaughlin

9/10. This ride never gets old. I've been riding it since I was 5. - Nicholas Gammon

I admit it, I really like this ride. Its very well done. The scenery is adorable and the spin that you get to experience on this ride is so smooth and so fast and so much fun. Its fun for the kids and the parents. - Melissa Faulkner

Rivals any dark ride ever made. Great because it gives you the whole story from beginning to end and the animatronics are impressive. The waits are short as well...a modern day classic. - Wilfredo Alvelo

Great Kid's ride that is also fun for adults. It was a little embarrasing riding without a child but it was worth it. The sofa shaped vehicle spins as you travel round a house watching Thing 1, 2 and 3 wreck it. Great fun! - Emily Greaves

A very well done kid's dark ride. This ride is better than any of the fantasyland dark rides at MK. The ride has people riding through the Cat in the Hat book and its scenes. The ride is quite lengthy for its type and has some nice twists to it. This ride would greatly benefit from a fresh coat of paint since some of the sets and characters are starting to fade. This is the best attraction in Seuss Landing so make sure to check this one out. Lines can get up to 30+ minutes during the day so get on this when lines are shorter, like at night. - Manny Barron
