Riding the Rail
After years of klonking, bonking, jerking, and berking, the minimonorail that
hangs high over Seuss Landing (and had gone riderless until recently) is, as of
2007, once again running. The High in the Sky Seuss Trolley Train Ride is a whim-
sical kid-friendly ride that runs along two separate tracks suspended high above
Seuss Landing, and is the park's latest addition. Traveling in individual “cars,” you'll
pass by several classic Seussian scenes and colorful characters—with an occa-
sional view of Seuss Landing below. Lines for this one can be excruciatingly long,
but high-power fans will keep you cool while you wait.

This 19-station interactive play land features flying water snakes and a chance to tickle
the toes of a Seussian animal. Kids can also spin wheels, explore caves, fire water cannons,
climb, slide, and otherwise burn off some excited energy.

This kiddie charmer is similar to the Dumbo and Magic Carpets of Aladdin rides at
Magic Kingdom (including the ridiculously long line, though this ride's waiting area is
covered), but this one has a few added features. Your controls allow you to move your
funky fish up or down 15 feet as you spin around on an arm attached to a hub. All the
while, a song belts out rhyming flight instructions. Watch out for “squirt posts,” which
spray unsuspecting riders who don't follow the rhyme. Actually, even the most careful
driver is likely to get a little wet.
MARVEL SUPER HERO ISLAND
Thrill junkies love the twisting, turning, stomach-churning rides on this island filled with
building-tall murals of Marvel Super Heroes. Fans can

The original Web Master stars in this exceptional show/ride (arguably, the best in town),
which features 3-D action and special effects. The story line: You're on a tour of the

when—yikes!—something goes horribly wrong. Peter Parker suddenly encounters
evil villains and becomes Spider-Man. This high-tech ride isn't stationary—cars twist and
spin, plunge and soar through a comic-book universe. Passengers wearing 3-D glasses
squeal as computer-generated objects fly at their 12-person cars. There's a simulated 400-
foot drop that feels an awful lot like the real thing. If you want the biggest thrills, try to
