I thought it was lame.
My son loved it because he was "driving" and he also loved that it took your picture at the end. I am glad they got rid of it and replaced it with Monster's Inc.
Sadly (NOT) I never got to ride it. The exterior was there but the ride was closed when I last visited. No great loss though. From the vids I've seen and the stories I've heard, it wasn't much cop.
I guess I am lost here. I went to DCA once when it opened and then I moved away for 3 years. When I came back they were building Monster's Inc. So, was it there on opening day or did they add it later and then shut it down?
I've been on it about 5 times (once each visit while it was open), and I think it broke down 4 of those 5 times. It wasn't the Disney quality expected- kinda cheesy in my opinion. I'm glad they replaced it.
I never went on it but I've seen the video of the whole ride and am very glad they took it out.
Basically combine every cheesy/corny stereotype of Hollywood, mixed in with lots of midget sized animatronics of actors who will probably be forgotten in 10 years, with some really cheap effects and you have it.
I rode on that 2 or 3 times. I didn't think it was anything special. I remember the last time I went on it, it took your photo towards the end. My bf and I looked up on the screen and it showed the couple sitting behind us making out like crazy. Yuck!! =P When they saw it they looked really embarassed!
I was just watching our vacation video from Feb 2001. My husband used to videotape everything! He taped the whole ride and I thought it was pretty cheesey then...I was almost embarassed when I watched it today. I'm glad they replaced it.
Monsters is cute. I was there with my niece (3) & 2 nephews (3 & 5) who absolutely loved it. We rode it 3 times in a row and they were still begging for more. It was a great replacement for Superstar Limo.
I thought Superstar Limo was dumb, and I usually love all things Disney. I went with my neighbors in 2001 (4 kids & 2 adults). We sat through the ride and all thought it was pretty lame. Throughout the whole ride they pretended to be taking your picture because you were the star in the limo. Towards the end they take your picture for real. I probably should have bought the picture because we all looked pathetic and bored --it really captured our emotions--it was hilarious.
I did. Utterly forgettable. The icing on the cake was that at the end they had "paparazzi" taking your picture and you would be able to see the pic as you exited. We had our 3 mo. old with us who seemed entranced with the spectacle and was sitting on my lap for the pic. It looked great and I wanted to buy it. Not for sale! Appearently, the Disney people knew that this was going to be a dog and decided to limit peoples ability to remember it.
