Readers' Opinions
Seen as a 'classic' but judged on merit it really isn't any good at all. Lame. - Mark Moore It’s a spiny ride with good P.R. - Rob McCullough A sentimental favorite which Disney must keep as a touchstone but really a pretty lousy ride. - jim mclaughlin This is one of the most beloved Disney attraction in the world. Though it is a rather simple ride, young and young-at-heart people really like this ride. The last time I was there we were on Dumbo while the fireworks show was going on. Flying high in the sky on Dumbo with the fireworks in the background was truly a memorable moment for me. Dumbo has really long lines especially during the day. They can go up an hour if not longer so go at night if you wish to ride since waits are usually under 20 minutes after 9pm. - Manny Barron This is a classic and is definitly a favorite of mine and many. - Nick Markham You've got to be kidding me. This ride isn't worht the hype, or the lethal line you have to wait to get on it. It is the kind of ride that you will see in any town fair or small-scale theme park, designed for young kids. That is, if those young kids will have the patience to wait about an hour to ride it for a grand total of three minutes. - Sandra B I have only been on this once. There were 7 of us and 2 to a seat. My mom decided to ride by herself, (she's afraid of heights) and the whole time we were all the way up, while she was as low as she could go. It was funny, we were all laughing at her, but that was the only fun part. - Sam W Me and my brother waited nearly 2 hours to ride this, and it was probably the shortest ride in the entire week we were in Florida (maybe except Woody Woodpecker's nuthouse coaster). Still a great sentimental ride though. - Evan Wood Since there's about three of the same rides that involve flying objects in a circle, I wouldnt waste your time going on Dumbo. Although Dumbo is adorable, you should either go on Astro Orbiter where you can see the whole park cause it's up high. Or Magic Carpets of Alladin is somewhat better cause it has water and a spitting camel, it's just better themed. Well if you want to go on Dumbo make sure the line is not more than 20 mins. or your wasting your time. Average wait is around 45 mins. to and hour. - Katie M it is prolly the most classic and beloved ride in Magic Kingdom, however, it is way overrated. It is one of the shortest rides in a disney park, they give u barely any room to fit 2 adults so ride this with a little one. The line is usually ridiculous for this attraction. I usually dont complain about long lines, because being a cast member i understand, however this ride gets ridiculous attendence for the size and ride time. dont be surprised if it is an hour or more to wait, which isnt too terrible for most disney rides granted but for this one u could spend the time doing more entertaining stuff, but if you have never ridden it u have to ride it at least once. - Joe Thomas Strictly for the young kiddies, this ride is the same spinner found at nearly every ho-hum amusement park, carnival, and mall food court across America. Because a flying elephant is attractive to the very young, and because this attraction sits right smack in the center of Fantasyland, either avert your youngest one's eyes and sneak quickly past it, or ride it first thing in the morning before the line grows impossibly long. - James Rao I like this ride, and I like how you get to control which way you go; up or down. - Molly R Lines fill up fast, and if theyre long, this short ride is not worth riding, so be sure to get here early. - Wilfredo Alvelo I love Dumbo-not as much as Winnie the Pooh- even though I may be too old to. Dumbo is a beloved classic, and always will be :) - Molly R
