The ride itself was amazing! The views from the top breathtaking. We went on Mother's Day (Mom's ride free, and kids under 11 also ride free). My daughter loved watching the people, cars, and buildings transition into tiny objects.
The ONLY thing I can say is that the "acoustics" were horrible!! Not only was the music much too loud, but there were several kids jumping around (having a good time) and getting restless about mid- ride. So the loud music, TV video, coupled with the kids left me feeling "sensory overloaded."
Overall- worth it!
