I love these kind of rides, and the whole twilight zone theme was enough to bring a tear to my eye (big fan of course).

The ride itself honestly wasn't that bad, but everything leading up to it makes it seem so (video shown before hand, 'last chance' exit right near the passenger cars). I rode it 5 times while I was down in flordia and plan on doing it again when I go back.

I have pictures, but they are from years ago when I was big and chubby so I won't post them

I'm still big and chubby but most people are too afraid fo my psycho eyes to say anything

Unfortunately both Universal and Disney were having ride trouble throughout the two weeks I was there:

Universal Studios
Jaws - Wasn't working at all for the whole 2 weeks
Back to the Future - Randomly broke down
Men in Black - Broke down several times while on it
Shrek 4D - Got caught in a loop meaning everyone was being thrown about in their seats 3 times instead of just once in the horse-chasing scene
The Mummy - The mummy didn't work And it broke down once...

Islands of Adventure
The Hulk - Broke down a few times
Dr Doom's Fearfall - Ditto (Some scottish bloke went on and apparently (I didn't ride that time) my dad said he asked what it was like, and when it took off he screamed "F***ing S***e" )
Ripsaw Falls - Not functioning
Jurrassic Park - Not functioning
Poseidon's Fury - Not functioning
Dueling Dragons - Only Ice worked, Fire didn't

Luckily Spiderman, my favourite, was working... Mostly...

Magic Kingdom
Space Mountain, Pirates of the Carribean and a few of the Fantasy Land rides kept randomly breaking down - I did get to go on "It's a Small World" once, and vow I shall never ride it again since it has been re-vamped...

Epcot
Surprisingly everything here was working - Soarin' (new ride) was awesome but tame, Mission Space rocks as always, though don't eat before going on it And Test Track is a wicked ride

MGM
Aerosmith Rock n' Rollercoaster and the Tower of Terror kept alternately stopping, and in the last day we were at MGM I wanted to ride Aerosmith and ToT and both were experiencing technical difficulties, and were not expected to open for the rest of the day

I went on ToT once, but I've been on it before when it was ToT 1 Classic and Modern ToT...

Went on Aerosmith about 3 or 4 times, but I love that ride

Animal Kingdom
I felt ill when we went here once just to ride Dinosaur so I didn't ride it, but I took a look at their new Mountain ride that is still being built - Looks like it's going to be good, but it's a shame it's in Animal Kingdom and not a decent park
