Nothing special, for the usually long waits.

Fun ride if you don't mind the wait. Great view of the MK though.

This is great because you get a good view of the park. Plus, it's one of those rides you see from a distance for the first time and say, "I KNOW I'm riding that!"

For some reason, this ride makes me think of the Metroid theme... never mind. Anyway, this ride is very fun.

I went on this two years ago for the first time. I cried. =p Very high up and it tilts so you really feel like you're about to fall out! I want to try it again without crying. ^_^

This thing is a killer if you are afraid of heights. Not good thrills at all if you hate heights.

It's nice if you like the dumbolike rides...gives a niceview of the area unlike the other two at MK.

It get's a 2 because I think it's the best of the three simply for the view - although Dumbo is classic and charming. I don't know.

WOW, so o o o boring. On my sixth visit to MK, I decided to do it. I was so mad that I waited 75min for THAT. Its a glorified carnival ride

The lines are long, but worth the wait. No matter the age ... you really feel like you are in the middle of the atmosphere with the planets all around you.

I didn't think that it would interest me but, after riding it last year, I am actually looking forward to Blasting Off again this year!!!

It really doesn't fit with the disney theme, just a ride to take visitors away from overcrowding other rides in Tomorrowland, in my opinion.

I have very little to comment on this ride except that it is Dumbo with a thrill. I'd say that a better way of describing it would be a ride for those who find Dumbo not to be their cup of tea. What adds to the thrill of this ride is that it is elevated, it tilts, it speeds and it has quite an impressive planetry centre-piece. Overall, a long queue is not worth it for this ride, but it depends on your descression.

The only ride in Disney that makes me motion sick. I'm not sure why. The kids love it.

User ID: MickeyManiac   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (6/30/2003)
Fun ride to get a great view of the Tomorrowland section and some of the castle, but definitely not worth the wait on a first time trip to Disney World. I do it every couple of trips, because it's not something you'll regret missing. Good for kids, though!

User ID: thumpersgirl85   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (6/6/2003)
The line is way to long to wait for this dismal ride. It's scary once you get on the ride because they tilt and it feels like you are going to fall out.

Short line-ride it
Long line-forget it.
Its fun for the whole family. Good ride!

User ID: GCRockerGrl   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (5/11/2003)
whatever- you go on if the line is short which is like- never! its nice if you do make it on but if you dont, dont worry about it. it would be cool if you get on it during the fireworks though.

User ID: pdrlkr   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (5/11/2003)
great ride! My children love it!

User ID: Mickeygal123   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 1 (2/25/2003)
dont go on it after you just ate!

User ID: leetazhand   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 1 (1/6/2003)
Sometime I go on it but should replace it with an thrill ride. A ride that is partly inside mostly outside roller coaster!

User ID: DDMAN26   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 1 (10/22/2002)
The worst ride at any Disney park.

User ID: Disneygirl26   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (10/5/2002)
This is AWESOME! A "big kid" Dumbo. This is great to cool off, even though you don't get wet. I love to wave to the people below. I have been in a 45 minute line and a 10 minute line so look out. If youcan ride it on e-ride night, you feel like your in the stars!

I never ride this because the line is 4 hours long for a ten second ride. I got onto the Aladdin ride with really no problem.

If you want to feel some G-forces and get a little dizzy ride with your rocket as low as possible!

User ID: BuzzLightyear84   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (5/30/2002)
Impressive looking ride with a great view of the Magic Kingdom. It's fun, but not worth it if the lines are too long.

User ID: TimC   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (5/12/2002)
A decent ride. If the line is short.

User ID: shawnp0001   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (3/19/2002)
This lines are usually too long for the value of the ride.

User ID: ninafeliz1   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 1 (3/11/2001)
This is a neat ride to look at, but even on e-nights the lines are way to slow and long to make it worth waiting in. This is essentially a carnival ride that has been disneyfied.

User ID: Futurist   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (6/4/2000)
A 'carnival' ride...but at least nice to look at. Especially at night!

User ID: FCD01757   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (5/21/2000)
Great view of the area from up there but can make you queasy after eating.

User ID: LaffnStock   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (3/12/2000)
Another yawner in a park full of them. If you are riding two to a rocket, make sure you both aren't tall. I am over 6' and my co-rider is just under and we could not get our legs in this ride.

A great way to see the MK from the sky now that the Sky Way is gone....

User ID: damon63   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (1/17/2000)
A lot of fun when there is no line.

User ID: rbanks   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (1/7/2000)
Nice design, but not a thrill ride.

User ID: TPA_RickWest   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (1/5/2000)
Kind of interesting - even more so when you consider how much it looks like a similar contraption in the Henson/Lucas film, "The Dark Crystal!" Fun for riders to glide above Tomorrowland - but not the greatest for those who suffer motion sickness or aren't crazy about heights!
