Fun Inconfort Temps mort

This is a wild mouse with a rotating car - sounds like a fun enough gimmick, but it doesn't provide enough force or spinning to stand out. I was pretty disappointed, and even the two young kids who happened to be in the same car as me were underwhelmed. Worth a shot for the credit but not worth the hour-long wait it sometimes gets - I used the single rider line and basically walked on.

Jesus, I honestly was expecting worse but this is still so bad. The rattle is worse than anything I've experienced. It's less of a rattle and more of a full shake - it feels as though the coaster isn't even bolted into the ground. The layout isn't particularly awful but it is on the longer side which makes it even worse to sit through. Still better than Green Lantern: First Flight though.

Airtimes Fun Débit Fiabilité

This is a great RMC, really fun, but definitely, the worst I've ridden. I see why people call it the worst, I don't like it as much as any of the raptor prototypes, but I love this one regardless. Definitely the best ride in the park and has a ton of great moments and 3 killer inversions.

Launch Hangtime Débit

Yet another shuttle coaster at SFDK - why so many??? Regardless, this is probably my favorite shuttle coaster at the park. The launch is really great and that hangtime you get is absolutely insane.Going backwards and then into that launch is also amazing. Kind of a one-trick pony, but a really fun one.

Trop court Temps mort

This one is just a really boring kiddie coaster that's a little more intense than the average one, but still without any real kick. Got some laterals on the first helix and that's it

Intensité Sans intérêt Temps mort

This is a fun little ride - actually, the first ever Boomerang I've ridden. It's short, low capacity and has some dead spots, but it has its spot in history. I'm assuming this will go away soon so I'm glad I got on it.

Bonne suprise ! Fluidité Inconfort

I've been wary of getting on a FreeSpin for a while after a truly awful experience with Green Lantern: First Flight back in 2017. However, the different axis of rotation makes this ride SO much more comfortable, and actually pretty fun! I'll definitely ride one of these again, although there is still some mild discomfort for me due to the unpredictability of the flipping.

This one is kind of unmemorable, I was on it just a few days ago and I really don't remember much about it. It was fun but nothing to write home about

Launch Hangtime Débit

This is a fun little ride! The shuttle coaster element of it makes it a really slow loader, but I found it to be enjoyable. I'm a sucker for a good launch and I love that it goes back and forth more times than you'd expect - kind of reminds me of full throttle but without as good of a launch. It's fun, but nothing incredible.

Layout Baffes Déception ! Inconfort

This could be a great one if it was comfortable but no, walked off this one with a major headache. Not surprising, but disappointing. 4-10-2023 Reride: I'm not sure if this has been renovated in the last year, but it seemed a lot smoother this time. Unfortunately, though, I didn't find it that great despite the enhanced comfort. Still one of the worst in the park.

First Drop Fun Intensité Harnais Inconfort

I'm really sad to say this, but this coaster was extremely uncomfortable for me. Maybe it's something wrong with me, I don't know, but when a coaster has limited legroom like this one, Matterhorn Bobsleds at Disneyland, or Colossus at Thorpe Park, I get extremely painful hip cramps. This completely ruined this ride for me, which is really too bad because from what I did experience, I would have loved it. The speed is pretty insane and the single rail makes it so smooth. Hopefully, I can figure out the cause of this issue, but regardless these rides should really be more comfortable for taller people! 11-20-22 re-ride: I was less uncomfortable this time, mostly because I prepared myself for the discomfort and positioned my body to reduce it. However, though I had fun, it really is a bummer that this incredible layout is hampered by its restraints and lack of legroom. I hope to ride it's near-clone, Jersey Devil at some point and see if it's any better for me. 4-10-22 re-ride: okay, I rode it in the back and asked the attendant to give me a little bit more room between me and the restraint, and I finally was able to enjoy this layout as it should be. What an amazing airtime machine! That first drop absolutely TOSSES you into the air and the elements are coming at you so fast that you barely have time to catch your breath. This just moved up considerably in my rankings.

Fun Longueur Théma

While this is a really fun ride, I am pretty disappointed by how cheap the theming is. Queue aside, the actual rollercoaster ride is so... bare seeming. You can very clearly see the edges of the screens, it's hard to tell what's going on because the dialogue and music aren't mixed very well. The songs are great, I got One Way or Another although I was hoping for September or Everybody Wants To Rule The World, but I can't complain too much. Because of the virtual queue, I only got one ride. All told though, this ride is really fun and the queue is impressive. It is just pure fun. But the cheapness... I mean that moon just looks so shitty. Fun as a ride, but I expected more from Disney.

Launch Intensité Layout Vibrations

This ride is great, but in its current state, it borders on TOO intense for me. I grayed out basically from the first inversion until the mid-course breaks - which are more like 3/4ths course breaks, so essentially most of the ride. Maybe it was the heat, maybe I was dehydrated, maybe I was just tired, but regardless of the reason I was a little bummed out that it beat me up so bad. Not that graying out is a bad thing inherently, but being unable to see for a large portion of the coaster wasn't the most fun experience. I still give this an 8/10 because I've enjoyed this ride the past few times I've gone to Universal and I think there's a high likelihood it was just an issue with me rather than the coaster.

Théma Situation Fun Temps mort

From a theming and artistic standpoint, this is a perfect ride. The pacing is brilliant, the queue is perfect and tells a story, but the story is simple enough for you to grasp even if you don't look at the queue, and the final animatronic is (SUPPOSED TO BE) incredible. However, the things that hold it back are the lengthy track switches and the long-since motionless animatronic. The switching of forwards and backward is brilliant and really works, but the tracks can take so long to switch that it can really hamper the momentum of the ride. Also, I know the animatronic is borderline unfixable, but it really takes away from the impact when it's so clearly a strobe light on a giant figure. Regardless of those flaws, this ride is a classic and I can't recommend it enough.

Théma Trop court Sans intérêt

Far better than the dinky one in Hollywood, but still just a kiddie coaster with a cool animatronic at the beginning. This one has probably 40ish seconds of actual ride time whereas the California one feels like 20 seconds. Don't wait in line for this one but it's not a total waste of time.

Théma Déception ! Layout

I remember being fairly disappointed by this ride when I first rode it in 2017. I was expecting something as forward-thinking and mind-blowing as Forbidden Journey and it really doesn't come close aside from the impeccable queue. However, this time I went in knowing what I was getting into, and I found it more fun as a result. There just isn't much thrill, a lot of it is just watching stuff happen on screens. However, the story is engaging and some of the ways that the onscreen elements interact with your car are really really cool and clever. I wish the USF side had a better attraction than this when IOA has both Hagrid's AND Forbidden Journey - two of the best rides in the country - but it's a fun ride that's worth a ride or two.

Théma Launch Fun

Good god, what a beautiful dark ride/coaster combo. This ride is incredible. Right from the start, it strikes a great balance between the campy atmosphere of a classic horror attraction and a genuinely creepy atmosphere. The false ending is one of my favorite moments in any attraction. The launch into Imhotep's mouth is also so great. Having been on the lamer Hollywood version several times in the last year or so, this one had even more impact. I love this ride so much, it's just near perfectly done.

Théma Launch Trop court Déception !

Since I'm familiar with Florida's version of this ride, this ride is pretty lame in comparison. However, it's still a fun small coaster in the dark with some good effects. That ending sucks so bad though, why is it so abrupt??? They could have easily fit a better ending in that room. Update: Having been on this ride a bunch of times since becoming a pass holder at USH, I definitely am liking it more. I also have a direct comparison to it since I just got back from Florida. It's a fun ride, way lamer than Florida, but still with some pretty fun parts. Bumping it from 6/10 to 7/10.

Fun Trop court

Not worth a considerable wait or anything, but I found this ride fun. It goes much faster than I expected and offers some mild thrills. Definitely the most "thrilling" kiddie coaster I've been on. Theming is fun, although pretty spare.

Théma Fun

While not as good as the one at Disneyland, this ride is an absolute blast. The theming, especially on the first lift hill and the exit, trumps the California one for sure, but the lack of music and the less stable track definitely hurt it. It's unclear to me if this coaster used to have the brilliant Michael Giacchino score that exists in Anaheim, but it wasn't present when I rode it. The rickety track simultaneously gives it more character but less comfort. Overall incredibly fun, but it just doesn't stack up to California's version. Also, no real difference in quality between the two sides in my opinion, they're just mirror images of each other.

I really like this ride for the fact that you get to choose your music. It's a cute gimmick. However, the rattle has gotten reaaaallly bad recently. I last went on this in 2018 and back then I didn't really think about stuff like this, so I couldn't tell you if it was rattling this bad back then - it's not as bad as something like Scream at SFMM, where I think anyone would notice it. However, it's really uncomfortable. It's a shame because the layout seems pretty cool, the music selection is outdated but still decent, and the surrounding scenery is nice. But it's just not very enjoyable in it's current state.

I absolutely love the theming of this ride, I’m a sucker for Toy Story and the Toy Story Mania queue across the way is one of my favorite queues in the world. I also was overjoyed by the animatronic at the end. Unfortunately though the first launch is really lame - why even have a launch that only goes to 20 mph? Second one is fun though and overall it’s just a fun little family coaster. Definitely fits into the park and land beautifully!

Théma Launch Trop court

This thing is really really cool. The unique restraints are something I was concerned about but it’s much more comfortable than something like Pony Express at Knott’s. A little weird still, sure, but the ride is over quick enough that it’s not too bad. That is a problem though - the length leaves just a bit more to be desired. It feels less like a full experience than I had hoped. Regardless though, it’s an absolute blast and was absolutely worth forfeiting a rest day on my Disney World trip to ride!

Théma Déception ! Temps mort

This ride is immensely lame. Aside from the fantastic indoor section, it does basically nothing. There’s no real drops, speed, or anything. Even The Barnstormer next door offers more thrill than this. However, that cave scene is REALLY really great, so I have to give it a little credit.

Théma Launch Fun

This is quite simply the most incredible ride I've ever been on. This is such a thrilling, complex, well-oiled machine of a ride with top-notch pacing, constant surprises, and beautiful storytelling. After Gringotts, I was worried that Universal wouldn't ever top Forbidden Journey, but this ride is just top of the line. I know it's not necessarily the craziest ride in terms of what it does as a rollercoaster - it's basically a family coaster - but it manages to be very thrilling despite this, partially because of the music/pacing and partly because of the SEVEN launches. It's hard to recommend this ride enough - it's my new number one and one that I am very sad is not in my home state or even on my coast. RIDE THIS!!!

Théma Layout Déception !

Simply not as good as it’s california counterpart. It’s roughly a mirror image, but the theming isn’t as good and it’s missing the awesome tunnel explosion set piece from Disneyland. Also missing the town scene at the end that I loved so much.

Airtimes First Drop Layout Trop court

This is a great ride, but I'm surprised at how highly it's ranked. It's really fun while it's going but it's just pretty short. However, that first drop is nuts and all of the moments where you're horizontal are great! The quarry wall interaction is incredible as well. Probably my favorite at the park.

Inversions Layout

Yep, this is a clone of Batman the Ride! Though it admittedly loses a bit of it's charm without the nice theming found at SFMM. Other than that, nothing to really report.

First Drop Bonne suprise ! Layout Vibrations

I was scared that this one would have the cramped, unpleasant trains that Flight of Courage has, but thankfully it doesn't! I was delighted to find this out as I sat down. Unfortunately, though, the smoothness of WWFoC is nowhere to be found on this one. I don't know how this one has lost it's smoothness in just 4 and a half years of operation but it is quite uncomfortable in that sense. However, the layout is great and the airtime was cool to enjoy!
