It's Tough to be a Bug! - Once. It's an immersive show that uses 3D, air and water effects, and tricks in the seats (just like William Castle!) to tell a quick story about bugs. Educational and fun. Slightly scary for kids perhaps. The hornet stabbing me in the back was a big weird. Voice of Dave Foley = thumbs up.
Kilimanjaro Safaris - Once. We went on this right away in the morning on an overcast calm day. Lots of animals out and about. Good show.
Expedition Everest - Twice. This ride is like the Big Thunder Railroad ride at the Magic Kingdom except a lot bigger and a bit nastier. Both are very smooth rides and a lot of fun. The big climb should make me nervous about the height but it doesn't. Love it.
Finding Nemo The Musical - I didn't care for Finding Nemo the movie so much because I felt it was too long. This show with live singing and puppetry reduces the length of the story to 30 minutes. The story still makes sense, seemingly proving my point about the movie. This show is highly impressive from every perspective: song, story, execution, everything. The puppeteers made no effort to hide their presence. This allowed for one of my favorite moments, a simple little nothing of a moment that most people probably didn't notice. As Nemo's Dad and Dorry face off with the sharks and are menaced by them, the puppeteer for Nemo's Dad put the puppet behind him as he stood there, as if to protect the character. Outstanding. Sometimes the characters run in the aisles. We were sitting right on the aisle in the upper section and they passed by us a couple times. Awesome. Recommended!
Dinosaur - Once. You are to be sent back in time to see some dinosaurs. A fun day trip, nothing too scary...except the scientist in charge of your vessel has adjusted the settings a bit. Now we're going back to just before the meteors hit that kill off the dinosaurs in an effort to collect an Iguanadon that was tagged earlier on an unsanctioned trip. Once we find the Iguanadon, the scientist chappie will extend the field surrounding our craft around the dinosaur as well and bring us back. Of course nothing goes simply. It's dark. The meteors are crashing back around us. There's also a Carnosaur, a big red dinosaur with horns, that seems interested in eating us. They try to spook you with the Carnosaur near the end when they take the picture. I thought they'd get me but they didn't. I like Dinosaurs. This was fun. I'd ride it again.
