Boo Barnstormer

I can't get over how short this ride was. Waited 40 minutes with DD age 5 and it was up, over and out. Shocked!!

It’s over way too fast.

It is very short but you can see the entire ride, did you not notice how short it was before you joined the 40 min queue?

 

[MickeyWaffles]

It is very short but we enjoy it. But we also won’t wait more than 10 minutes for it.

 

[ChristineOH]

Next time you'll know. It's a good one to ride early or late. It's also an easy one to get as a 4th FP after you've used your first three. It's an awful queue when it's hot.

 

[DVCcurious]

They should send you through twice

It wouldn’t increase waits too badly because most of the time is the unloading and loading

 

[StitchesGr8Fan]

It’s a coaster aimed at kids. A longer coaster might be too much for a little one’s first coaster. It’s not like the ride is hidden.

I would do it again if it was a walk on, or a very short wait. Otherwise, it's a pass for us.

It's a child's coaster. Meant to introduce children to coasters (as evidenced by the very small seating area).

My DW and I ride this when we are either burning additional FPs or if we're waiting on a ride time and this happens to be a short wait. We don't necessarily like the ride, but it's become a tradition of sorts.

I can't get over how short this ride was. Waited 40 minutes with DD age 5 and it was up, over and out. Shocked!! My best friend made a good observation that the older rides are longer. What a disappointment.

Would love to know what your best friend's definition of "older" is. Barnstormer is over 20 years old.

4 y.o g-baby looooooovvves Barnstormer. Last summer was the first time she was tall enough to ride it, and then she wanted to do it over and over. So we kind of like it.

Like haunted mansion and small world.
Didn't want to seem like I am being that critical. I guess I didn't understand quite how short it was. Oh well. Now we know.

 

[PetePanMan]

Short ride but surprisingly fun. Normally do walk-ons or close to it later in night.

 

[DisneyWishes14]

Yeah, that's one of those rides that doesn't really have a good "ROWTI" or Return on Wait Time Investment. One reason I love Tomorrowland Speedway - I feel like you get some ride time with your wait!

 

[mom2rtk]

Yikes. Barnstormer is fun and all. But never worth a 40 minute wait. We rode it during MVMCP once when nobody was back in Toontown. They let us stay on about 6 rides in a row. We finally felt like we had a full length ride!

 

[mekay1012]

I think it's the perfect length for a kids first coaster.

Unfortunately, my 3 year old road it last summer and now she's scarred for life. We can't hardly get her on anything anymore.

My kids loved it as their first coaster so we ride it now for fun and nostalgia. Last trip we rode it multiple times during EMH. We would never wait 40 minutes for it.

I am sorry but you wouldn't have notice how short it was as you waited 40mins. You could've left the line very early if you watched and determined it was to short to justify the wait. Its set up as a roller coaster for young children and its perfect for them.

I had watched the video at home but it didn't seem this short. I was with 5 year old in "get a ride in mode" before next fast pass. I don't want to cause a lot of heat with my post. It was simply an observation meant to inform others not to make my same mistake.
