For some reason I get the impression that this is sort of considered a "second class" dark ride, even though I love it. There is even talk on some blogs and podcasts about its removal. Unthinkable, if you ask me...Alice in Wonderland is one of the attractions that truly defines what Disneyland is all about, bringing the characters and worlds of the animated films to life in a fun (and trippy!) manner for folks of all ages. Maybe a lot of people disagree?
Wow! Great (and unusual) views!
ReplyDeleteI am with you! Alice is one of my favorite dark rides at Disneyland! It's just fun overall, with cute little visual gags (like the card soldiers)--but the real excitement is the way it is 2-stories and goes outside. That really is a pretty neat setup that no other dark ride really has.
ReplyDeletePeter Pan *is* fun, but I think a lot of the other dark rides are snubbed in comparison--and not rightly so!
I'm not sure why Alice doesn't get the same respect as some of the other dark rides. I'd put it right after Peter Pan and ahead of Mr. Toad in terms of unique and enjoyable ride experience.
ReplyDeleteTake care!
I would be terribly heart broken in Alice disappeared. Of course all the dark rides are unique in their own way and deserve our patronage. So ride Pinocchio and ride Snow White the next time you are at Disneyland.
ReplyDeleteI personally consider this ride much more enjoyable than Pinnochio, Mr. Toad, or even Snow White.
ReplyDeleteI'd consider Monsters Inc, Pooh, Little Mermaid, and Peter Pan about equally enjoyable to this, with maybe Toy Story Mania above any of these rides.
