Although I loved the added color, I won't miss the beach toys; they distracted nearly every rider into treating the ride like a goofy dodgeball game. Battle-crazed guests tend to ignore the most wondrous part of the whole experience: you're flying!
Okay -- technically, you're hovering...or floating...but it's still amazing. Some online critics feel this mellow non-thrill ride's not worth waiting in line for, but I disagree. Luigi's Flying Tires gives you a chance to pilot your own private hovercraft. When you get your tire scooting across the floor, it feels like surfing on air -- and I can't get that sensation from any other ride on Earth. It's a true one-of-a-kind, magical experience.
I'm really looking forward to trying this attraction. But I'm one of those people that always wanted my own hovercraft. :)
ReplyDeleteI just wish I could stay on the ride longer -- ten minutes would be good! :)
DeleteI have enjoyed this both times I've been on it...with and without the beach balls. If they really want to make it more fun, they should remove a few of the vehicles so that there's more room to float around and also (as you pointed out) increase the length. However, I am sure the chances of either one of those things is slim to none, as it would increase wait times.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree that at *least* a couple of vehicles should be taken out to give riders more maneuvering room. Glad you like the tires! :) I still don't understand how much negativity has been leveled at this sweet little ride.
