This is a very enjoyable Mack wild mouse coaster. Every now and then, the brakes are on slightly overkill mode, which tames things down a bit much. Ordinarily, though, the speed is just right for this type of coaster. The series of unbanked turns that begin the ride are very entertaining and produce some really good lateral g-forces. The little drops that finish the ride are lots of fun, appropriate for the whole family (necessary for a Disney coaster) but thrilling enough for me to be content as well. As far as rides at California Adventure go, I would rank this one just below the top 5 (Tower of Terror, California Screamin, Toy Story, Soarin, and Grizzly River). The rumor is that, during the renovation of the park, the coaster will remain but receive a new theme. While the current theme is supposed to represent a chaotic drive down a Los Angeles highway, it is executed pretty cheesily and is just okay at best. It seems like this will be rethemed to Goofy and his flight school, which certainly sounds like it could be promising.
