Glad you had a chance to be one of the first to ride it.

We went on Sunday and it was open. As yet there is no Express Queue so we didnt ride it (long queue even though park was more or less empty - they must have all been queueing at this ride).

I am sure it will be better than the old Back to the future ride it replaces.

I did the Simpsons ride last week - wait was 40 mins but I thought seeing as it was a new ride I would queue.

To be honest I wasn't that impressed - I think Spiderman is a better simulation.
The Ride is still having 'technical tests' but for me the screen was blurry and it made my husband feel sick.
Also don't go in car 1, if you can help it, as you can plainly see all the other cars out the corner of your eye, which also helped to spoil the effect.

Others, who enjoy simulation rides, might find it great but I'm more of a roller coaster rider myself.

We have been on the ride and absolutely loved it. Far better than Back to the Future (which I also liked although a little bumpy). I didn't notice any blurryness, but I can imagine this might depend a bit on where you sit. We were in car 8, and the graphics were clear and felt much more 'within' the movie than with Back to the future.

So far I have found nothing to beat the Spider Man ride, but that is a totally different type of simulator.
