Faithful Aesthetic and Set Design

Guests repeatedly praised the detailed set work and architecture, noting its close alignment with the film’s tone and visual style.

Immersive 360° Experience

Several reviewers were impressed by how the boat layout and scene design made them feel surrounded by the world, rather than merely watching from a distance.

High-Quality Animatronics

Figures like Rapunzel and Flynn received compliments for their fluid movement and design—especially Rapunzel’s glowing hair and breathing animation.

Emotional Impact Resonates

Negative

Short Runtime and Limited Scenes

Some guests felt the attraction was too brief, wishing for an additional show scene to round out the story and lengthen the experience.

Minimal Narrative Tension

A few critics noted the absence of a clear villain or dramatic arc, making the ride feel more like a gentle scenic tour than a full narrative journey.

Elements Feel Static

Critiques were aimed at under-animated figures like Pascal or Rapunzel’s legs, which undercut the realism in otherwise detailed scenes.
