DLRP Review

Reviews

1. Great fun, never ceases to amaze! After I-don’t-know-how-many-years of riding, I still look forward to this as one of the attractions I HAVE to do on the Disney circuit.

2. It’s okay. I kinda enjoyed it the first time I rode this back in 2000, rode it again last year and was quite disappointed. Nothing new. Just boring.

   I think they should update this a bit or put a new movie instead.

3. I think its the kind of ride that once you’ve done it once its never the same again. I think its time for it to go and let another ride takes it place. And I have to agree that some of the effects don’t work like the mice running through the audience… a bit of a disappointment this time around.

4. Disney should replace this ride. With another movie, or anything like that. The idea is very good, but after riding the first time, it starts being a little boring. Anyway, it’s a good attraction.

5. Wasn’t the best ride I have been on.
   I dare say the American version is much better (although exactly the same).
   Not very long queues, but alot of video clips at the beginning in which young children may become restless.
   The film is very funny however the special effects are very temperamental.
   Not one of Disney’s finest rides im afraid.

6. I have been before and this year it was quite disappointing. My mam couldn’t get her headphones to work in english just spanish or off, neither could the guy sat next to her who put his in his chair the same as my mam. She watched show in French. I couldn’t feel mice or feel dog sneeze at me. I wore the glasses but the effect still seemed a little blurred at times.

   The show has been there years so it either needs serious renovations or its time for a complete change of show to something equally good or probably better as there are even better effects now. I’m sure the Disney Imagineers could come up with something!!

7. I’m a bit of a fan of 3D movies, and seeing as its my first visit to any of the Disney Parks, I’d been waiting a long time to find out about 4D shows.. first thing’s first.. they seriously need to change the preshow! The content of that was wetter than when the Dog sneezes at you in the main film!

   But its worth the wait. I have to admit, for the 3D movie part, I was a bit disappointed, I’ve read online that this film was done using 2x 70mm Projectors using polarised 3D, which can be a bit blurry.. however, the 4D effects made up for that. When we were shrunk, I had to think to myself.. hold on, we’re being picked up and I can feel myself moving here.. and we were! Next came the mice… and I jumped out of my seat! Why? Not only did you feel them running around beneath your legs, but I had one effect in the chair that made me jump.

   Altogether, a funny show.. I’d recommend it to anyone who goes to DLRP.. and if I could improve anything? I would get the film converted to Digital and employ the new Real D Format for 3D, no blur and great 3D that works perfectly… as for the 4D.. dont change a thing.

8. The pre show is very very boring and the room in which its shown gets quite hot and stuffy.

   The show itself is okay, and the special effects are very clever but the commentary in french is so loud the earphones with the english transaction are relatively pointless.

   My mum ignoring the signs to avoid if you have a phobia of mice or snakes, completely freaked out, and even i screamed when you “feel” the mice against your legs.

   Well worth seeing once, but not sure id go back and see it again.

9. Agree about the preshow, very boring. The ride is slightly dated and not technically advanced as some other 3d cinemas i’ve been in, but they take loads of people in at a time so don’t be discouraged if there’s a queue, it goes quickly. Although there is hardly ever a queue!!

   Best bit- when the lights go out and the mice “crawl” up your legs!!

10. Entertaining but perhaps showing it’s age, very boring preshow ramble while waiting to see show proper.

11. Very good show and loved the special effects. The waiting time in the outer section (after you had queued) was far too long and the visual screens were a bit pointless and boring.

    Over all though, the show was very good and well worth seeing.
    7/10

12. When I was in Disney last year, lots of the special effects were broken. The only thing working for me was the air valve (no water, no sound through my headphone), the show is good enough but they definitely need to close the attraction for a short period to repair the broken parts.

13. I agree with the other reviewers, never as good second time around, but still clever.

    The film is showing its age and the theatre is too!

    Time for something new.

14. Nice attraction, but never as good as the first time you will see it. One tip, the first room/area you will enter isn’t the main attraction and is just a waiting area. Sometimes i see people leave this area because they think it a bit dull.

15. For first timers this show is a absolute riot: the action doesn’t let up throughout. The film is great, funny and with plenty of 3D effects that will have you covering your eyes. However the best parts involve the “4D” effects, where air and water are used to complement what is happening on screen, leading to a lot of screams from the audience!

    Unfortunately after the first viewing, you know what all the surprises are and the show loses some of it’s appeal. Perhaps for this reason the show isn’t as popular as it used to be and you can normally walk straight in except during very busy days.

    The show will either be entirely in French or entirely in English, depending on which day you visit. Last time I was at Disneyland Parc, Tuesday and Thursday were “English” days. If the show is not in your native language, headphones are provided for translation. However due to the loud volume of the show, and screaming from the audience, it can be hard to hear the dialogue using the headphones.

    This show is very intense. The sound effects are very loud and the 3D and especially the 4D effects can be terrifying for some children, and even adults! Beware of this attraction if you, or a member of your party, have a phobia of mice or snakes.

16. This ride is very good, i like the lion scene and the dog sneezing scene. But everytime i go, it seems people dont treat it with respect which is very disapointing with broken water jest and air valves. But a great show and not much of a queue.
