Let me start out with the negatives.
The queing process is horrible. The loading tends to take quite awhile even when it seems there aren't many people in line. At least the que is enclosed providing a welcome shade during your wait.
The theming of the ride is completely void of any Disney-esque charm and atmosphere. Although Disney claims that Chester and Hester’s Dino-Rama is supposed to feel like a cheap, frumpy roadside carnival, one cannot help but feel that this entire section of Animal Kingdom was dropped from the sky to the parking lot as pre-fabricated and effortless as can be.
That being said, the actual ride is still quite fun, especially with a couple spirited friends to share it with.
It's your basic steel carnival coaster designed for spinning cars that provide extra excitement to an otherwise mediocre experience. There are no jaw-dropping thrills or hair-raising drops here, but that isn't a reason to avoid it completely.
It's still good fun, if you don't have to wait too long! 3/5.
