I expected a lot more from this ride, seeing as how PKI hyped it up so much. I was hoping for something along the lines of Spiderman, and what I get is a giant top spin in a box. The theming in the queue line is excellent. They obviously put a lot of money into it. Unfortunately, its all just theming for a Giant Top Spin, which isnt even used to its full potential. You only flip a few times, the rest of the time youre being held in place, looking at something. Hanging above fake looking fire and below fake looking ice isnt really that thrilling. if we had flipped a few more times after hanging over the "fire", I think I would have been more satisfied.
For all the effort they put in theming this rides queue, its too bad that they didnt bother to even add a simple storyline to follow. The "Preshow" is nothing more than action clips from the movie. I guess Im spoiled by Universal, Islands of Adventure, and Disney World for themed rides... but thats what my standard for highly themed rides is, and TR didnt quite do it for me.
