This attraction came to being with the addition of Toy Story Land at Hollywood Studios. Up to four guests are put into a circular “car” and then the swirling begins. It is a mix between the swirling component of Mad Tea Cups, the rough ride of an old wooden rollercoaster, and the potential whiplash of a carnival Tilt-a-Whirl ride. When you put those together, you have this modern Disney fiasco.
Hollywood Studios’ new Toy Story Land is very well-done and contains two of the park’s best attractions – Slinky Dog Dash and Toy Story Mania. However, Alien Swirling Saucers is not at the same high level of enjoyment. If my memory serves correctly, all five of us could not wait to get off and had no desire to experience that again unless the line is under ten minutes, which is not often. Do this at your own risk!
