Really - are they worth the wait?

I know Steven will be attracted to the rocket shaped things like a moth to a flame. :rolleyes:

:thud:

Scaries ride at Disney world IMHO and I'm a coaster nut, I do not like the feeling at all

In august the queues will be immense for what ammounts to a 2 minute ride - unless you strike gold and its empty I would pass - think we have only ever done it once

yes and no!

each time we've been (and i'm going back a long time now) there's been a looooong line. when we went with the boys we waited and eventually got on only for it to be cut short as there was a teeny bit of rain....:unsure:

very disappointed :thumbsdown:

So it's basically Dumbo in rockets and higher up?

Maybe the racing cars will distract him.

We kinda thought it was cool :unsure:

We did it after it got dark so everything was lit up and we thought it was beautiful up there. I think Steven would really like it :thumbsup:

:yes: Yep, that's what we did too. The queue was small and the view of everything lit up was lovely. :thumbsup:

It is not a ride for people who have any length to their legs! I was so squished! Worse than on SM.

It's like sitting in a metal bath tub, I was completely underwhelmed.

Just show him the stall outside that sells the diecast cars modelled on Star Wars characters, that should do it :yes:

I'll do it if the lines aren't too long and I have kids who would like to do it. I myself am less than impressed and WILL NOT stand in a long line for them.

Do it at night or at sunset. When we were just there last week the lines seemed to get shorter in Tomorrowland around 6-7pm (except for Space Mountain). Try going then.

Booooorrrrrrring. Have done it once with Max, when he was 6. Can't bring myself to stand on line for ages to do it with Seth.

Maybe one day. :sigh:
