![]() From the uncomfortable helmets to a poorly-executed concept, Aladdin was just a failure in essentially all aspects in my opinion. If you haven’t been able to tell from my review, this ride was a massive disappointment. I know that the attraction probably hasn’t been redone since opening ten years ago, but the graphics really are too overly simplistic and an embarrassment in my opinion. Steering was a challenge for a majority of my ride, only with about 30 seconds left did I finally gain full control of the carpet, which definitely hampered my ride experience. Honestly though, I found the plot confusing since the audio quality of the helmets was definitely lacking and muffled for me. In order to defeat Jafar, players must fly around Agrabah using their magic carpet collecting magical gems in order to defeat him. The whole premise of the attraction is weird. Thankfully when I hopped on this it was a walk-on, but at other points during my visit it had pretty significant waits compared to other attractions at DisneyQuest due to it operating at half capacity during my visit. In my opinion, this attraction would have been far better if there was just a normal video screen in front of riders. I personally really despised them since they were just so heavy on my head and also very uncomfortable.

It made the controls very strange and a little disorienting.ģ) After the ride was over, not only did I feel angrily sick, but both my parents were sick as well. It made it a lot more fun than just me in the game, with people watching me on stage.ġ) The helmet was very bulky and didn't fit as well as it could (Though it had to be made to fit everyone's head) The design hasn't changed since 1995.Ģ) The seat was not all that comfortable seeing as your supposed to be gripping a carpet and not a bike. ![]() The world was vast, and it almost seemed like I didn't have enough time to explore and see what it had to offer, before I was shoved off onto the next task.ģ) Being able to enjoy it with the whole family was fantastic.
