First coaster I'd been on in over a decade and it was a nice smooth coaster. The queue was well themed with a walk through the farmhouse as it's in the twister, with swinging lights and a digital screen in one of the windows with different things flying by. The floor also feels purposefully wonky to give that extra immersion of the house flying in the air. Then the experience starts to deteriorate from here.
The rest of the queue is mostly located outside with no shade and no theming, just black chain link fencing around the ride, much like Flight of the Wicked Witch. The ride station is located in the barn house with a little bit more theming, like a cow on the roof and some hay bales and barrels inside. The accessible lift to the ride station is also cleverly put into the silo right next to the barn. As for theming, that's pretty much it.
The coaster car is made to be an orange rusty tractor and has a simple lap bar. The ride starts by pulling the train backwards up a chain lift, and after about 3 seconds at the top the brakes release and you're sent flying back down. The track is quite short with only a handful of turns before you go up a hill and get sent back down the track in reverse to the station. There's very little theming on the ride, with it only being just a simple corn field. The track ride was smooth and comfortable, but that's about all the positives I can come up with.
The ride dispatch time is horrible, with it taking upwards of 5 minutes from when the ride arrives at the station to when it leaves. This does not help with the queues as they can get quite long pretty quickly. On some hot and busy days staff will actually hold the queue inside the farmhouse until room becomes available at the ride station so people aren't waiting out in the sun. This is probably one of the best things about this ride which is honestly quite sad.
Movie World promised a world-class themed land and what was delivered was a poorly planned mess The theming seems half complete, lack of shade can lead to some problems, and 5+ minute dispatch times for a ride that lasts less than 2 minutes is a real disappointment
