A good ride, maybe not as good as MIB or midway mania but its a fun shooting ride with generally low queues. - Jack Roberts

Fun, except it was one of FOUR rides that we were stopped on during our Magic Kingdom day visit. We stopped three separate time for about two minutes each during the ride. - Steven Lee

How can you knock this? It is based on Toy Story so definitely worth checking out! - Mark Moore

Not the best shooter ride but still fun! We got stopped half way through and I found a target that wasn't quite marked like the others. I shot it about 20 times until we got going and ended up with 855,000 points. HAHA! See if you can find it! - Don Neal

Don't see how anyone could hate this ride. It is uses low technology, but it is so fun! Hitting the button is much easier than pulling the string on the Midway Mania! - Alex Gamso

Good. Not nearly as good as MIB, but still worth a ride. Its popularity seems to have dropped over the last few years. My main beef with the ride is the gun's lack of control freedom, and the bombardment of lasers in each room. This makes target practice very difficult. - Joshua Counsil

This is nothing compared to Men In Black at Universal.Improve it or scrap it. - jim mclaughlin

Pales in comparison to Toy Story Mania. I have a difficult time seeing where I am shooting while on this ride and didn't like it as much as Men in Black at USF. - Carl Stovall

This was the first type of dark ride/shooter in theme parks and has since been past by the bigger more elaborate MIB at USF and just recently the multi dimensional Toy Story Mania. It still is a decent ride but compared to these others it doesnt seem that impressive anymore. The Disneyland version of this ride is also better. Regardless it is still o.k. and worth a look if you have the time. Waits are moderate 20-50 minutes and under 10 minutes after 10pm. - Manny Barron

This ride is good for what it's worth. It's not an awesome ride, but it is pretty fun. - Josh Wadkins

I was on a school trip to disney for my tv production program. I was looking forward to riding Space Mountain. I was with 6th graders and wussy 7 th graders(I'm in seventh grade too but they were just pathetic). Space Mountain or Buzz Lightyear. Well wouldn't you know they chickened out and chose this one. 7/10 for screwing me out of Space Mountain. - Nicholas Gammon
