    In 2004, when I was there for a week (my second time ever and I was 7), and that place was out the door. The wait was like 2 hours long. I think I went like around the time it officially opened. Everyone was talking about the ride by saying that it was amazing, and it’s now their favorite ride ever at Disneyland. When I first rode on it, I was scared at first b/c I was 7. We went when it was dark time, and there was still lines that were like about a mile long. My fam was smart to get the fast passes. It took us like 30 to wait in fast pass. The ride was the biggest thing during that summer year of 2004. After I rode on it, we rode on it multiple times during that week afternoon and night time. It was awesome. Every time I went to Disneyland later on the years, It was a tradition ride my fam rides first. It was great time. So depressed that they changed it to Guardiens of the Galaxy. But it is what it is. Great memories for sure

    THE PARIS version is the same but 2019 it changed to a new soundtrack and projection called a *NEW DIMENSION OF CHILLS* which is not that scary. THE ORLANDO VERSION's drop system is not that fun and the view of the ride when the doors open is not that great, it moves front and goes up and then drop which is also not the best

    Miguel Islas Lopez that response is old and tired and has no correlation whatsoever , saying disneyland will never be complete doesnt excuse the fact that they sold out by purchasing marvel studios at least star tours and indiana jones were placed in appropriately themed and complimenting areas, marvel has been randomly placed every single time since its debut being in the parks walt was very specific on branding and marvel studios literally existed while walt was alive i highly doubt he would want his disney characters next to comic book superheroes inside his magic kingdom

    But in hindsight,floridas version is the most unique,the other 3 towers use the same system...and in terms of arquitecture is nedeed for the epoct eyesight and is the main icon of hollywood studios(by this time),i could see them removing the twilight zone ip into the ride but still be the same,so im guessing this version and tokyos version are here to stay....mostly tokyo....

    Miguel Islas Lopez ya marvel and star wars dont exist in disneysea for a reason... american disney parks are trying so hard to imitate universals wizarding world when they shouldve just stuck to what they know, disney never dedicated an entire section to a movie until wizarding world and now all these theme park lands (harry potter , avatar , star wars , nintendo , marvel etc ) feel like they were designed by the same company whats even more depressing is that its UNIVERSALS formula so they rly all just feel like universal .. wdi shouldve stuck to walt disneys formula it was unbeatable, mission breakout is not walt disneys formula.
