Alien Swirling Saucers rider experience and comments

[Disney Lover Addie]

I think this is an option for kids who do not want to go on SDD. Also, the rides that they promoted a lot were TSMM and SDD. It’s not like they wanted people to think of this attraction when they think of Hollywood Studios.

...so it’s up to the customers to see what this is and not wait hours for C and D tickets.

As Mater would say... "tractors is so duuumb."

Toy Storyland is for children, not thrill seekers. If you do not approve of Alien Spin and Slinky Dog Dash, then do not ride it. Keep your negativity to yourself. There are those of us that like to enjoy the escape and magic of all things Disney.

I don’t think anyone is not “approving of it”...at least most.

MGM needs these types of rides...but it also needs more of them and other types of rides to handle the impending predictions of crowds run amok.

And magic is not real...so there’s that too...

If you want escapism...I have no problem with that...nor do most. But the problem is when you tell those more grounded to shut up...why, exactly, is that somehow a better approach?

You’re comparing apples to oranges which is why it’s pointless. For what Toy Story land is the budget was very significant. I’m discarding your point because it’s silly.

Just because I can spend $20,000 to renovate my bathroom doesn’t mean I should pay $20,000 for a new front door.

I'm not comparing apples to oranges though. Also, I need to purchase two #2 pencils and my budget is $10. That's a huge budget for two pencils. The budget was sufficient for what they created when they built Toy Story Land, but compared to other projects it was trivial. I indicated that they could have done so much more with a larger budget, and that's true. How does their budget compare to Pandora if you must have apples and apples?

The lack of promotion and advertising for A.S.S. was due to the ride not being ready.

I think your bathroom is nicer than my bathroom.

I agree with your point, though. As well, it's not how much you spend on an attraction that determines whether it's successful, it's how much everyone likes it. You don't have to max out the accelerometer to max out the fun.

I think both Saucers and Dash have to be taken in context with Battle Escape and Falcon. Viewed together as 4 additional attractions, they represent a good mix of "levels". Having Saucers in TSL means we don't have to have First Order Teacups in SW:GE.

The entire concept is similar. Three levels of guests entering a large screen on a platform. The differences are not that significant. Sure, the mechanics and programming are different but that's what I alluded to in my comment when I said refreshed and shuffled.

Bleh.. by that logic Soarin was just a rehash of BTTF.. which we know its nothing like it.

Yes they are simulators.. and yes they use a shared theatre... but they pretty much diverge completely from there.

Jeeze, unless it’s an E ticket ride, they’re not worth adding.

These type of rides have been Desperately needed in Hollywood studios.

Don’t worry folks, there are loads of E ticket attractions on the way

Ouch, baby...very ouch.

...the fact you’re correct doesn’t make it less cold

They diverge from being simulators? How so?

 

[flynnibus]

Not diverge from simulators.. diverge between the attractions in question (Soarin vs FoP). Ugh... don't make me spell it out word for word.

Big Fat Panda on YouTube thought SDD was more intense than he thought it was going to be.

A lot of people have been saying that. Surprised at intensity, speed, air time.

Sorry for deleting the post. I didn't know if he said that exactly. Going off my memory.

I loved Aliens. The music was cool and the whip action of the ride makes me giggle like a little kid. This is better than a Dumbo or Aladdin any day! And I love the alien voices during load, safety, and unload. If you complain about this ride, just stay home, you won’t enjoy anything your entire day.

Two thumbs up from me!

 

[Movielover]

Yes...they are needed...

But no...they are not

Wait, are there not 3 brand new E tickets opening in the park next year? or are we now lowing Mickey, Alcatraz, and Big Bird to D to just further our agenda?

 

[GhostHost1000]

Harry Potter land changed the way Disney thinks now. They want to build “lands” in many cases and focus more on the land itself rather than the attractions/rides etc. because of that we get less rides and the ones we do get may be on the cheaper side as well.
