Get a fast pass! The line is hell

But the queue is fantastic, one of my favorites! If the standby wait isn't crazy, I highly recommend walking through the queue at least once.

And if I remember right, the RR FP machine was disconnected from the rest of the system at one point, so you could hold that and another FP at the same time. Anyone know if this is still true or did they fix it?

Ooh, queue talk...

Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln is another stellar queue area with its Disneyland and Lincoln exhibits, the Steve Martin film (which I'm not a big fan of, but it's there) and the pre-show with Walt Disney. It's one of the most entertaining Disney has ever done, in fact.

Pirates is also pretty underrated. Even if the line extends beyond the bridge, you've got the atmosphere of New Orleans Square, adjacent Adventureland and Frontierland (it somehow works) and a magical entrance through the doors that gradually transforms into Laffitte's Landing and the Blue Bayou. Not to mention, that smell. Its complete detachment from normality as you proceed into a relatively ordinary looking building and encounter something totally contrary to what you would expect is taken for granted these days because of familiarity. The posters outside only advertise it as being a journey through mysterious caverns--no mention of anything that would occur beyond those scenes. Brilliant. One of the greatest build-ups ever.

I agree about Pirates. I also really like Autopia's queue. The videos are interesting, as well as the corny jokes. I love Peter Pan's queue because of the commentary from the movie that can be heard.

Agreed on the queue for Roger Rabbit. It's entertaining although if you have claustrophobia.......it's pretty tight. As for the ride you can really work to prevent the random spinning if you wish, or make it faster if you wish. You do have a lot of control. My wife gets motion sick really easily and has no problem. I think working to turn/not turn the cars makes you less aware of the fact that you are moving in the first place. We always go if the line is less than 30 minutes and skip it otherwise. I wouldn't burn a fast pass on it.

It's one of the most unusual ride experiences at Theme Parks. I really cannot think of another like it anywhere. It's not good enough to replicate, but certainly fun. You won't remember much of the effects because you are always worrying about the spinning effect. The sets are 3-D characters (not cutouts). A lot of effort went into the thing and I'm glad it's still around because DL is all about their being experiences for everyone.

So just how nauseating IS this ride? The Unofficial Guide Book seems to indicate that you should stay far away from it if you are prone to motion sickness. How does it compare to spinning rides like Mad Hatter Tea Party at WDW or Cat In the Hat at US Orlando? Can you avoid the spinning aspect?
Just want to know in advance if DH and I should send the kids on this one themselves (one teen, one tween, both of whom love spinning).

I felt like this after I got off
