First ride over the weekend and I must say I enjoyed myself quite a bit! We had no trouble with the app, walked right in during our time, the Ragtime Gals performed immediately (they make the experience to me, they were so good, I'm not sure how many teams they have but this one was great!), waited about 20 mins, then boarded. A little delay with the seatbelts (a communication issue, needed a Spanish speaking TM, nothing mechanical), ride was fun and boom we were out.
Was it the best idea to make a ride of, no (though it does fit New York pretty darn well!). Could they have done something "better", yep, but all in all I was impressed with what they were able to do. IMO, its the best out of the theater rides (picture quality,movement, effects) and makes Shrek feel that much more obsolete. Though I do not want more of this type of ride (theater type), this will be more than a one and done for me.
