The perfect blend of dark ride and coaster. You truly feel like you're racing through the forbidden forest, the seven launches make it a nonstop joy, and the surprise elements are just the cherry on top. It's obviously not the most intense thing ever, but it doesn't need to be. It's the perfect blend of approachable and thrilling for everyone in your party. Try to go not too long before park close. The early admission crowds are nightmarish and the night ride experience is truly unique.
9/10 - nobody repeated Lumos Solem and nobody pressed the purple buttons so I'm not sure how we made it
The first launch is really one of the best there is, but it's all downhill from there. The layout is dull and unlike something like Space Mountain the...
The first launch is really one of the best there is, but it's all downhill from there. The layout is dull and unlike something like Space Mountain the pitch blackness just makes the boring elements even worse. The restraints are quite uncomfortable, but to be honest the Aerosmith blaring in your ears is quite fun. Frankly more mediocre rides should have Aerosmith drowning every other sound out.
6/10 - my backpack almost fell out of the car on the corkscrew

The dark ride sections are fun and the first coaster portion is a joy. The fake out station is quite charming but the layout after that is rather short and boring. The brakes are quite aggressive, especially before the fake out.
7/10 - congratulate Brendan Fraser on the Oscar before you roll into the station

It's a classic for a reason. Though it's clearly showing its age it packs a punch and a surprising amount of thrills. There's absolutely something to be said for the darkness of the building enhancing the experience. It's certainly gotten rough and the T-bar is somewhat painful, but it's worth it for this iconic ride.
7/10 - I had to wear my backpack like it was my firstborn

Does it belong in Epcot? No. Is it a phenomenal ride that every Disney trip needs? Absolutely. The backwards launch is pure fun and the rotating cars are revolutionary. I do wish they took more advantage of the unique ride system by using more physical sets, but the ones they do are the highlight. This is what a roller coaster at Disney should be, and it might have set unrealistically high standards for the parks going forward.
9/10 - I was screaming the lyrics to "September" the entire time so I don't remember the plot
It's a decent kiddie, though insultingly short. Do it if it has a less than 10 minute wait.

It's a decent kiddie, though insultingly short. Do it if it has a less than 10 minute wait.
3.5/10 - if it was 10 seconds longer it would be better than VelociCoaster
