Okay so rode this on Monday.
What a crushing dissapointment.
First the positives - it's a smooth coaster, very smooth.
But it's just so unbelievably underwhelming. I was hoping Disney would push the boat with this project, but nope nothing. The show building is pretty average with a large prop outside (and a huge building that spoils Epcot scenery from the countries), nothing else around it. The queue was okay. The presenter of American idol does this thing, and you get a brief talk from the stars of the movie about some mission (yawn).
The ride just doesn't work on the level i assume it was intended. You never at any point feel like you are in space, which is what they were going for. The screens don't blend in with the dark walls, the lights from them then showcase the track taking you out of the experience.
There is practically no storyline, nothing groundbreaking here. Just a mad dash spinny, with some flashing lights (sort of) and that's it. It's just an updated version of Crush's coaster in Paris, and i hated that ride with a passion.
We all came off it underwhelmed.
This is just a Six Flags coaster with a bigger budget, and a fancy name.
I am also beginning to doubt the youtubers who get all emotional over these new Disney attractions. There is no way this attractions gets anyone emotional.
