Best Time to Ride Alien Swirling Saucers
Spin through the cosmos in toy rocket ships pulled by little green aliens in this Toy Story Land spinner. Themed as a play set from Pizza Planet, your saucer whips along a track while catchy electronic music plays. The ride vehicles swing outward on curves, creating a fun centrifugal sensation. A gentler alternative to the Tea Cups with a colorful, toy-box aesthetic. Best ridden at night when the LED lights and neon create a vibrant atmosphere. Short ride at about 90 seconds.
