Description And Comments
Alien Swirling Saucers is themed around Toy Story's vending machine aliens and their obsession with The Claw. Like Mater's Junkyard Jamboree in Disney California Adventure, about a dozen ride cars move, whiplike, in figure-eight patterns around four circular tracks embedded in the ground.
There's a noticeable left-to-right "whip" effect each time your car moves from one circle to the next, but it's more mild than than the Magic Kingdom’s Mad Tea Party.
The most striking thing about Alien Swirling Saucers is the short ride duration - about a minute, give or take. We think Disney is keeping the ride time short to boost the ride's hourly capacity, because Hollywood Studios doesn't have that many rides. Still, the short ride time means that Alien Swirling Saucers isn't worth a wait of more than 20 minutes.
