The ride was okay—nothing extraordinary, just fine. Honestly, does it justify waiting more than 30 minutes? Absolutely not. The experience itself is decent, but not something that will blow you away or make you want to ride it again. That said, I still recommend putting it on your list, if only for the bragging rights of saying, “I’ve done it.” It’s one of those attractions that feels more like a checklist item than a must-do thrill, but sometimes that’s part of the fun.

Me encanta esta atracción que inspiró primero a Ron Gilbert y luego a los guionistas de las pelis de Jack Sparrow

Great ride! You might get a tiny bit wet but its not much. The ride has colder weather conditions so it's good if your hot! I wouldn't wait an hour in line for it but its definitely good!

Best ride in Magic Kingdom!
Magic Kingdom is not my favorite Disney World park, but what keeps me coming back is Pirates and Haunted Mansion.
Both are such wonderful attractions I cannot wait to ride them every time I walk into Magic Kingdom!
There is a small hill in the dark, but my infant slept right through it, TWICE! So don't let that deter you!
