    A great new coaster for Kids and Big Kids alike! Come during extra magic hours and you can stay on and ride as much as you want to!

    Not really a great rollercoaster, but kids like it because it has a short line and it’s easy for them to go on over and over again.

    Great introductory roller coaster for kids. Super short, less than 30 seconds, with quick turns mostly. Wish they'd add foam to the rigid plastic seats.

    The best roller coaster for the kids. So much fun and great to get them started on their first coaster.

    Very short coaster ride. Took longer to walk out of the ride than the ride's duration. We loved it, but wouldn't wait long for it.

    [supposedly] goes as fast as Thunder Mountain Railroad, just shorter track--only about 1 minute long ride. great 'starter' coaster...

    Great mini-roller coaster for the young ones. Really short - good test to see if kids like them or not

    My 4 year old went on it without a problem. Rollercoaster for small kids. Quick ride.

    Cute kiddie coaster. Super short ride time. Less than a minute. Wouldn't ride it unless it is a walk on and you have a small child.

    It's so much fun.. for about 30 seconds. Really cool ride, but I won't recommend waiting too much in a line for this one.

    please remember, the ride is a beginner roller coaster and lasts 62 seconds. think before getting in a 80 minute line.

    Be warned: the seats are incredibly hard and weirdly shaped and painful if you have a bad back

    A good starter coaster to test tolerance for Mine Train but it is barely 30 seconds long.

    The maze to get out of this ride is longer than the ride itself.

    Da fuck, just waited 15 minutes for a 30 second ride, brutally uncomfortable seating, and very awkward and creepy exit quee. Never again will I go on this ride.
