All
things considered, I'm giving this ride a much higher score than it really
deserves. Most of the ride is based around a backstage tour of the World of
films. The truth is this doesn't make for an exciting ride. Most of it is
just brief looks at costumes and props and sets. They don't go in to
anything to complex to ensure appeal
to
the family market. This results is there won't be anything that comes as a
revelation to anyone who's watched a few DVD extras.
A lot of the
route is decorated with props, sets and vehicles from various Disney
productions. This could be exciting if they where from some more memorable
productions. Instead you have sets from the likes of Dinotopia, Pearl
Harbour and Reign of Fire. Surely it's time to update this ride
with
some leftover pieces from some of their more recent and popular live action
films to make this a more worthwhile attraction.
This ride
though is saved by one redeeming feature, and if you've been on this ride
you probably know what I'm talking (or typing) about. The special effects
demonstration section. This is a huge set, consisting of a large canyon with
a road with a petrol truck on it.
When
you stop here there is a spectacular special effects sequence with the truck
crashing, setting on fire, then being engulfed in a flash flood. This
section alone is enough to make this a must do ride if you've never
encountered anything like it before, and manages to make what would
otherwise be a pretty dull attraction, one that does merit a go. |
