Luigi’s Flying Tires
From the first
time I heard about this ride I was excited. I was excited because I remember
the short lived Flying Saucers ride at Disneyland.
Luigi has a set of
huge oversized tires that you can climb in and float around like a giant hokey
puck. You lean to control them. For added fun if you can grab a giant beach
ball you can toss it at other riders.
There is
handicapped easy access. They pull a tire over to the size and have a ramp to
allow those that can transfer out of a wheelchair to take their time loading
and unloading without slowing down the rest of the ride.
I’m kind of sad to
say in my opinion this ride did not like up to the hype. It is slow loading,
requires instruction and is slow moving. If your car is “heavy loaded” and you
all lean too far the same way the edge of the tire may grind on the ground. Still
even with the negatives it is a fun ride.
The area of the
ride, cue and the ride itself is beautifully themed. You feel like you could be
in Luigi’s Casa Del Tires getting a set of white walls! Even the lines at the
gate area are marked with tires. The music that plays fits Luigi’s Italian heritage
and taste. It is upbeat for fun to listen too.
All in all I will
keep this on my list of rides to do every so often but not every visit.
