I actually think that it is a very cute ride. I love that the person in the front controls whether you go up and down, and the person in the back controls whether you lean forward or backward. That way everyone has something to do, and it adds a little something extra to the ride. We always try to time it so we get spit on by the camel, but it isn't always easy.
Many times you will see Genie or Aladdin riding this attraction.
