I have yet to try this ride because I hate to spin. An acquaintance swore that you can control the spin - is this true? Maybe an update in recent years?
Thanks

I'm not a fan of spinning anymore either; I can't do the teacups. BUT we watched this ride for a few minutes and I decided to try it. It only spins at the very end and it's not a continuous spinning like the teacups. I was fine. It was actually fun!
Take a look at it when you get there and decide then. You may surprise yourself.
I'd say it spins for the SECOND HALF of the ride. Not just "the very end".
That was our experience both when we rode and while we watched. The spin was only on that last slope just before the end. We faced forward for the entire rest of the ride.
Exactly. You can somewhat limit the spin by evenly distributing your groups weight across the seat. If I sit dead center with a kid (roughly the same size) on each side of me, we don’t spin much at all. Which is good cuz the teacups nearly make me hurl now!The only way to “control” the spin is with weight load out. Depending on where the weight is as you hit turns, you will spin differently. Similar to how on Kali River (or any raft ride really), the weight distribution will alter how you hit the water.

Admittedly I have never been on it but its no different than the Goofy's Sky School at DCA or any "crazy mouse" at fairs/amusement parks I've been to and you cannot control the spin on them.
Its not even worth going on in my opinion especially since its your run of the mill dinky amusement park ride.
Sky school is indeed dinky ride, as was mulholland madness before it. (Also the only Disney ride that still exists that my then-husband could not ride. )
But PW is actually quite fun. The ride vehicles are much bigger and more comfy, and the ride itself doesn’t make you think you’ll be catapulted off at any moment.
You should try it out!
I've watched POV's of it and perhaps the theme is better and the ride vehicles are bigger but it is overall the exact same ride so I'll still pass on it lol but I appreciate your opinion.
It is not the same track as crazy mouse. It is the same track as the wild cat.Curious. Do you also pass on Space Mountain? That, too, is the same track as a "crazy mouse."
