This Disney classic, inspired by the original ride at Disneyland, remains one of the park's most popular rides. In recent years the ride underwent an extensive rehab to add characters from the popular movie series inspired by the ride, and to update effects and audio throughout the ride. The rehab was wildly successful, and served to further establish the ride as a "must" amongst visitors to the Magic Kingdom.

Lifthill comments: Although the WDW version of the ride isn't quite as good as the original in California, it is still one of the highlights of any trip to the Magic Kingdom. The new effects added during the overhaul — especially the "waterfall" sequence — are really impressive, and have only added to the overall experience of the ride, which is one of the best in any park, anywhere.
