Storybook charm... I can't avoid being submerged into Pinocchio's misadventures. The Blue Fairy and the wooden clocks at the end add just the right touch to this attraction. Very small children may be frightened by Monstro the whale.

If I didn't say I like this ride my nose would start growing...I always look forward to Monstro jumping out at you and the Blue Fairy at the end...fun and relaxing for the whole family..take the ride into the Storybook of Pinocchio.

Sadly underrated dark ride. I don't really understand the bad press. Exciting 30dimensional characters and neat special effects, not to mentiojn the menace of Monstero! Recommended.

Most people hate this ride but that's only because they don't appreciate Disney magic. I was freaked out when Monstro the Whale tried to snatch me!! HAHAHA

I begged my mom once to let me ride Pinochio before we left Disneyland.I told her it would be a good way to end the day with the song when you wish apon a star(I hadent been on it in a while)We went on it and it was bad and diddent even have the song.Its aboyt the bad parts in Pinocchio's life.

If they ever think...THINK about taking out a dark ride it should be this one! I can't believe they sacraficed half of Snow White's Scary Adventure to make room for THIS! BOR_ING!!

I love this one... I had the Disney read-along album/book when I was a child, and this takes me back to those wonderful days... reminds me of the colorful drawings in the book, only better! :-)

This is another good ride since i can relate to Pinocchio and his conscience and lying and being tempted too

All of the fantasyland rides are a must. This one is fun and the detail inside is unreal

I love it! The end is my favorite, with the Blue Fairy. It's such a cute scene. It's a must-see!

This is the best Fantasyland dark ride and is very underrated.I think it's better than Peter Pan.

User ID: Aaron-o   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (2/27/2001)
No, it's not Peter Pan or Alice, but for what it is its very well done! It has good storytelling, music, and visuals. It's cute, spooky, intricate, and leaves me feeling good. On the other hand, I wouldent wait in line too long for it. 20 min tops. Still, its better than Snow White.

"Daring?" I "dare" you to wait more than 5 minutes in line for it... it's a slow-ride, nothing-better-to-do type attraction.

User ID: Coop   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (6/24/2000)
I think the sotry is very coherant, and there is never a wait do it's a ride you can ride over and over. I don't see why this attraction gets such a bad wrap... it doesn't have the novelty of vehicles of Alice in Wonderland or Peter Pan, but still a very enjoyable Dark ride. I do think that some of the elements in this ride are not properly maintained, however, and it can look a bit worn in places.

Not any where as good as Peter Pan. A little tid bit though, if you're looking for a princess, as in meet and greet, they can usually be found by the Pinocchio exit.

not as good as Peter Pan

User ID: Violet   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 1 (1/23/2000)
Boring and unimaginative

Nice dark ride...

No comparison to Peter Pan

A beautifully told story with nice special effect. I especially like the fiber-optic fireworks in the Pleasure Island scene.

New to Fantasyland during the New Fantasyland unveiling in the early 1980s, Pinocchio is a great little dark ride with some very nice visual effects. Charming!
