Alien Swirling Saucers

This is a fun little ride..even as an adult, I catch myself laughing all the way through. If you purchase Genie+ this attraction is pretty much a walk on. Aesthetically..riding this at night definitely takes it up a notch. It seems to go by fairly quick..but I would still recommend, for both the kiddos and the adults!!

This is a fun crack the whip type of ride for kids of all ages. It is themed after the Buzz Lightyear and the aliens in the Toy Story movies so it is very colorful. There are two sides to the ride that doubles the amount of ride vehicles, so the queue lines will move fairly quick. The vehicles move in a figure eight fashion and the whip action is spring loaded so it is gentle and not harsh or violent. This makes it enjoyable for all. The themed music and voice announcements add to the atmosphere, Sit back, relax and enjoy this ride.

Decent little ride, very simple. Not sure I would recommend waiting in a long line, the ride is pretty short and not spectacular. Fine for kids but there is a minimum height that will prevent very small kids from riding. No lap sitters!

Such a fun ride for the kids! Love all the attention to detailed that we to into the ride and it’s queue!

good for people of all ages. It is a variation of spinning type rides. Enjoyed the added element the car behind the space ship so you bounce from side to side. I would not wait an hour but went early and the line seems lower since slinky dog is so popular.

Alien Swirling Saucers is a basic, kid friendly ride within Toy Story land at Hollywood Studios. The ride moves in a circular (more like figure 8) type of pattern, but shouldn't be a concern unless you get motion sick extremely easily. The individual cars themselves do not spin like tea cups, but instead swing side to side. It's easily the least popular attraction in Toy Story land, but as a result, it usually has the shortest wait times which can be to your advantage. If you or your child are at all concerned about the ride, it is completely viewable from the side without having to get in line which is a plus.

This is somewhat of a kiddie ride, but even adults will be surprised at how energetic it is. As the car towed by an alien makes its way around the ride, it definitely throws you around quite a bit. You are held in only by a seatbelt similar to what you'd find in a car, but only as a lap belt. The music changes with the season and on this trip was all Christmas music. Some of the carts were actually missing and had been removed for some reason. It's usually a shortish line and a good thing to do when the other lines have reached maximum capacity or simply as a quick amusement if needed.

Kids ride. Cool idea but to slow. If they sped it up or added more twists and turns it would be better. This is a ride once and good forever ride.
