So I just want to start this off by saying that I was able to ride Battle at the Ministry today, and I still think it’s a good attraction, but I was pretty disappointed by it.

Everyone was hyping up this ride like it was one of the greatest rides ever created, better than Rise of the Resistance, and I was getting that vibe from the queue, truly one of the greatest queues ever, but the actual ride itself is just okay. It’s not even better than Monsters Unchained in my option, let alone the best of Disney. The main issue is that the ride is just so screen heavy. Even moreso than Forbidden Journey and Gringotts. Sure the screens areas crisp as you could hope for, but they still take you out of it. There are scenes with very advanced animatronics that are standing in front of screens, scenes where there are physical sets but the characters are on screen, and there are several scenes were you are only looking at a screen. In terms of thrills it’s on the Rise of the Resistance drop level and a little less than the Forbidden Journey movement but on the Tower of Terror ride system.

Like I said this was still a very good attraction but it was way overhyped, I don’t understand how people were calling this one of the greatest things ever created and defies what a theme park ride can be, it’s not even better than Unchained in my opinion and the queue is the best part of the experience since it’s actually a real physical giant set. I think that if the whole ride was like that like Rise of the Resistance and Unchained where it’s a high tech physical dark ride then it could be on that level, but as it stands, I would call it just good. Wouldn’t wait over an hour and a half for it.
