If they say it's better than Tuck and Roll's Drive 'em Buggies, they wouldn't be wrong, but....Indy?The 5 hour wait seemed to be part of a morning rush/"I want to be the first to ride it" because it's currently sitting at a 100 minute wait which is still long but nothing terrible.
So who has been on the ride? I'm not talking about watching a video, I'm saying who's been on it? What are your thoughts?
It was actually much better than I was expecting.
QUICK UNEDITED THOUGHTS:
Rocket Raccoon animatronic is really fun to watch over and over again. His drawings are great.
Queue is pretty great with the exception of the old boiler room. Set dressing is fine for the most part, but lazy green strands of lights hanging from the ceiling give it an overlay kinda vibe.
The ride itself is low on actual written jokes, it's mostly visual humor. This is a good thing to me, I won't be groaning at terrible one-liners 10 years down the line.
People will be finding easter eggs hidden in this ride for years to come.
Much more intense than ToT was. They are taking advantage of what you think you know about Tower of Terror and flipping it on its' head to surprise you. The ride is also almost twice as long as Tower.
The story makes more sense than I thought it would and is actually very well thought out. Rocket's job is to cut the power to the fortress... even at a great distance, the ride begins to lay hints as to how important the power is with nice lighting effects that pulse and flash.
The sound mixing seemed like it needed a little tweaking. There's music, screaming, and air whooshing past you, and sometimes you can't hear what any of the characters are saying. Maybe boost the voices a bit? It wasn't always an issue, and I did ride during the special party when all the people were super loud and excited, as they should be.
I personally think the idea of including a ride in the Marvel movie universe is a cool idea, it's a new way to tell further stories. Someday we are going to see references to this ride within a movie or comic and I think that's going to be rad.
Overall I think it's just going to come down to which theme you like better, Twilight Zone or Guardians.
Here's my video I put together on my personal Youtube channel:
When you say it's more intense than it was, is this meaning it's finally caught up to DHS's TOT (as far as intensity) seeing as it has randomized drop sequences now?Much more intense than ToT was.

Interesting.First of all, I think some folks have been confused because of the six different ride profiles. It is for sure a little confusing. To be clear, the drops are not random, the ride profile that is selected is random.
First of all, I think some folks have been confused because of the six different ride profiles. It is for sure a little confusing. To be clear, the drops are not random, the ride profile that is selected is random. So that determines things like which song you hear and the scenes you see. As far as I know, the movement of the ride is the same every time.
I have done two of the profiles and I've watched a number of videos with the other profiles and to me it seems they are mostly similar if not exactly the same.
the main difference between the profiles is the music and the scene you watch.
The drops can't be random because they play with perspective much like Spider-Man, Transformers, or Gringotts does. You're constantly bouncing up and down so they have to simulate a 3D space by changing your perspective of the room behind the characters. That must be timed perfectly to the movement in order to work or you could easily get motion sickness.
Maybe I'm wrong and it does have different drop sequences on each, but I'll tell you right now the difference is not that meaningful.
