I like Catastrophy Canyon and some of the sets, but I would not bother with it again unless it's a walk on. Sadly, the version in Paris is actually superior. Maybe if they changed it up and added more, it would be more interesting.

It's sad to see how tired and uninspiring this ride has become. I wish they would rip it out and put something new in its place.

a huge waste of time, you should skip it and Disney should replace it.

I was disappointed when I rode it recently as a child I remember it being a hell of alot longer and better (and interesting).

My wife tells me that this ride used to be much better. Since I've only been on it once, then I don't have those judgments. As a movie fan, I thought that this was educational. I kept hoping someone famous would be walking down the street, though, and felt a little disappointed when it didn't happen. :-)

This was okay. Not the best.

I remember when it had that side tour on 101 Dalmations, they should of kept that idea and changed the film every now and then. Well I think it is a good idea anyway.

A well done adventure.

Very cool and well done. Might lose the attention of the little ones. We had a great time.

want to know what happened to the props from Rocketeer at the mgm studios Florida

User ID: MAGNUM   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (5/5/2003)
This was allot of fun, great props to see. Learn a little of how the magic is made.

Enjoyable but the lack of real movie sets & backdrops make it far less interesting than Universal.

I've always loved this ride.

OHH NOOO!!!! Max from Flight of the Navigator has a giant hole in it and The Dip Machine from Roger Rabbit looks even worse. This ride needs to be about twice as long and some of those artifacts just laying around in the rode need to be polished and put on a little better display.

This is a blast...I've been fortunate enough to be chosen for the naval battle scene.

Though not as extensive as a "certain" competitor's tram ride in LA, the Catastrophe Canyon portion is thrilling with great effects ... and worth the trip alone.

It's most fun if someone in your party is part of the entertainment. Push to the front!

User ID: ninafeliz1   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (3/15/2001)
This was much better when the park first opened, I think their "improvements" over the years really took away from the ride.

User ID: vtfan   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (6/5/2000)
While slightly better than Universal Florida's tram tour, doesn't hold a candle to Universal Hollywood's tram tour. Worth goin on if there is no line

User ID: LaffnStock   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (3/12/2000)
Needs something new to make people want to ride it more than once every few years. While interesting, exactly how many times can you see The Golden Girls house? And Catastrophe Canyon is merely okay.

User ID: Jeremiah   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (2/5/2000)
Out of date........but a good place to take a nap.

User ID: srolandelli   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (1/20/2000)
Doesn't compare to Universal Studios Hollywood (CA), but fun.

User ID: NancyDVC   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (1/7/2000)
Enjoyable and I still take too many pictures on the tour. But I do notice new things every time I ride.

User ID: rbanks   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (1/7/2000)
It needs more "Hollywood" and thrills. It reminds me of a junkyard with old movie props with a tram tour.

User ID: TPA_RickWest   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (1/6/2000)
The Tour has been updated a bit and is interesting once in a while. However, it still lacks the true interest and excitement that similar tours (such as Universal in Hollywood) create. The highlight for me is seeing Walt's company plane, which is now sitting in the backlot and visible from the tram during the tour.
