As with most of this parks attractions, the theming is excellent for this attraction. The air conditioning is nice on those hot days. The movie looks great, but doesnt make a whole lot of sense. The role of the audience member, isnt clearly defined. Most of the movie it seems that you are a regular earthbound being, but in one scene you are flying behind the ghost into the castle. Talk about confusing.
Since, this came out after Spiderman, I figured that this ride could have learned something from it or could even one up it in some minor way or other. Sort of like Kingda Ka did to Top Thrill Dragster. However, I found that the movement of the car isnt integrated in and co-ordinated with the movie quite as well as in Spiderman. The plot in Spiderman makes a lot more sense. It seemed to me that the composition of the movie reminded me a lot of Spiderman. Overall, it is a very good attraction that tries to imitate the king, but Spiderman still rules this category.
