Wow. I am so glad we got this over Yoshi! (Both would've been preferable, obviously, but when it had to be a choice between the two for our park, this was the right call.) Can’t wait to see this thing in person soon!

Ride looks great and a definite win for the Hollywood park. Almost 5 minutes of ride time! One critique is I'm not a fan of all the screens after the car wash part, from 3:50-4:20, with the animated pets and humans.

Put. This. In. Orlando. Now.

This looks like such a fantastic addition to Universal! It’s filled with animatronics, has so much going on, bright colors, and a cute story. This is going to be a certified hit for Universal. Kids are going to absolutely love this ride. We need this in Orlando ASAP, would fill so many voids in ride line up

Cool to see an Old Tyme family style fun dark ride again (AA's/Robots galore) , with a few tech upgrades thrown in. Walt would have been proud of the lads and lassies at UC. :thumbsup:

 

[PerceptiveCoot]

That was fast.

Also much longer than the 2-3 minutes initial estimates pegged it as.

 

[PerceptiveCoot]

Should be a sleeper hit.

Was this a preview for APs or a random opening during Taste of Universal?

 

[Evan]

Wow! I did not expect that. What a seriously impressive attraction. So nice to see a modern day Universal dark ride. Those AA’s are amazing: did not expect the drone.

Seriously well done. Exactly what USH needs.

Love it!

Surprise for Taste of Universal.

Is the bunny in the queue a puppeteer animatronic, ala Donkey?

 

[rageofthegods]

Look, I just don't see how that poor apartment owner in the queue is fine with thousands of people just walking through her home like that.

Kidding. This looks cute.

How cute is this ride?! I hope they’ll bring to Orlando someday, IMO, we could use a classic dark ride style attraction here.

 

[ghostsarejerks]

That's really cute, way better than I think anyone was expecting.

SO charming. The most Charming ride out of Universal in quite some time IMO. I am sitting here so impressed, wishing I could experience it.

Honestly this attraction excites me more than Mario Kart. Perhaps because I did not expect it to be this calibre. Way longer than I thought, and sooooo many very well done AAs.

And some said it was this attraction because no Yoshi, and all I can think is thank goodness!

This is pure Universal magic.

 

[Mad Dog]

Looks like a beautiful fun dark ride, of decent length, and lots of AA's/Robots....and the drone scene beats the F&F drone scene by a country mile

 

[viking_wizard_eyes]

So cool! I'm going Sunday for Taste, hopefully it's still up. Wow, I'm having theme park feels for the first time in foreverrrrrrrr

I’m genuinely surprised at how great this ride is. I think this is one of the dark best rides I’ve seen in a long while. Very detailed and seems like a next gen Fantasyland dark ride.
I actually expected SNW to have a ride of this caliber. I honestly prefer it over the POV’s I’ve seen of Mario Kart.
