Unfortunately, I don't get to WDW nearly as much as I like anymore... Like once every two years... Now that I'm paying for a family of five its quite a bit more expensive!!!
Last time I was there, SOAT was fairly new and I rode with my oldest daughter. Line was short, we got right in, and it was a lot of fun!
I never really hear anything about it on these boards, and I was wondering how those of you who get to frequently check it out think its holding up? Are lines too long? Is there not enough variety in the choices?
I'm just looking for some overall feelings...
Thanks!

We just got home yesterday. I can tell you that the day we were there the line-up was maybe 5 minutes. The ride seems to be holding up well and both my kids loved it (they rode it twice).

When I was there in July we waited about 25 minutes. I think it was well worth the wait. You truly design every aspect of your "ride". If you are into virtual rides, then you will love it! Just think of it as Star Tours or Body Wars but to an extreme level.

Its funny, this sort of displays how under appreciated Innoventions is. I used to be the type to pass by Innoventions on the way to the big rides and honestly it is still the first thing to get cut if Im short on time. But, that being said, the past decade has been very good for really neat and exciting attractions in Innoventions. Now I am deliberate about going in and taking my time. Although, it would help if Disney found a bigger way of advertising it

My son and I did this a few weeks ago on a really busy day (Soarin' was something like a 130 minute wait). We waited something like 10-15 minutes, if that. Totally worth it. My son is too short to go upside down, but he just loved it.

Check out this link, its a decent primer on this pretty cool attraction...

The fact that people don't know about this makes me wonder if its intentionally under-promoted? Because if it got busy it could really be one of those things that clogs up a lot of space...

Due to it's very limited capacity, I can see Disney purposely under promoting the attraction. I couldn't imagine how long those lines would get if more people were going to it on a regular basis.

A month ago I walked on it maybe 30-45 minutes after rope drop. It was so slow they let me go a second time using one of their highest scoring ride.

Regarding them under promoting Innoventations and parts thereof, I asked a few CM's the quickest way to get to SoAT, and they looked at me funny. When I described it the CM's knew it was in Innocentations, but couldn't tell me which one or where it was.

Epcot's hidden jewel. Great attraction. If they built 40 of them, placed them in the currently empty and closed Health pavilion and then heavily promoted it, Some of All Thrills would probably outdraw several big name Future World attractions.:lookaroun

Dang it. I took some newbies a few weeks ago and TOTALLY forgot about this. But then they were more concerned with trying all the different beer at F&W. :D
