[USO92]

Very Matrix. Just, instead of pills, you got tater tots

That explains the fuzziness!! :saw:

Was out there tonight as well, and agree that this is a wonderful addition to the park. Great for the lil ones, as there really isn't a whole lot for the under 40 inches to ride there.

Onto some pics:

Thanks for the pics. Looks great in the evening lights. The stroller picture is just too funny. There's a ton of those at the Magic Kingdom.

anybody know how busy the parks are? they starting to slow down?

Looks like the lights aren't fully operational yet on the tentacles. Other than that the ride has a pretty awesome lighting package.

EDIT: Never mind. Saw on the video they seem to turn on randomly.

Universal was a little slower (not much) yesterday than earlier in the week. That said, the crowds were much lighter after 7PM since it was blistering hot out. We walked on ET, and waited 25 for Rip Ride at 8:55.

From what I could tell, when you line up and hit the targets, the lights on the tentacles would go on.

Great addition for the little ones! I'm gonna have to ride this at night haha it's a step in the right direction for making the parks more accessible to families!

What a perfect addition to the park and especially to the area, love, love, love the lighting package!!

Hoping I'll get a chance to get over there to see it this week.

Yeah, I tend to overstate things to get a reaction and reply. Screw PC. I will have none of it.

You've been on the boards for only 45 days and you're already putting people on the ignore list? You obviously haven't read many of Teebs posts here.

Yeah I know..Teebs is a total troll

I find that spinner completely underwhelming. I'm used to universal taking things to the "next level".

Hey I thought Kodos was getting his space helmet on him? And does anybody know when they are painting the roads for Springfield?

It's a kids spinner ride. And It's very well themed. What else do you expect?

I agree. Not much else you can do with it especially when fitting it in with the cheap carnival theme of the Krustyland area.

I think the bar was just set way too high. They were never reinventing the wheel here. It was always going to be just a spinner. A well done spinner, but it's still as off the shelf as any other because that's all a spinner will ever be.
