Boring

Daniela_H, Aug 2024

Meh, I don’t really know about this one. I compare this to Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey at Universal Studios Hollywood, without the upside down part. The seats just move and turn with the projection in front of you, you have a seatbelt and only a seatbelt to secure you.

Don’t waste your money…better on google

Awful- 7 minutes of some video with NO narration so you didn’t know what you were seeing - can get better on google if you ask for video drone of sf. The seats moved a bit sure and there was wind but the ad said it was 20 min total with preview etc….I asked the guy after and he said everything changed from Covid….but adding narration. To the 7 minutes has zero to do with Covid…don’t waste your money…
