If there is such a thing as an addicting ride, its MIB in Universal Orlando. I have ridden it like 5-6 times in a row, because what is said in the article is so true. You want to go back to beat your own score, and rematch your family/friends. You can shoot your other vehicles, causing them to spin violently, which is soo much fun. On top of that, the theming in the que and the ride is incredible. KI's Scooby-Doo is in that category, but on a much smaller scale. I can see how a rides like that would be great investments for parks.

I have not been on MIB (but I want to) but I have rode both Scooby-Doo and Buzz Lightyear. I have to say that I am a huge fan of this type of interactive attraction and can't wait till Toy Story opens at Disney Studios. It looks like it's going to be awesome.

My one critique of Scoby-Doo is that it is too, how should I say this, small/compact. The building was made for an attraction where you are up close to things so if something pops up you'd be scared. However, when converting the building to a shooting it doesn't seem like Paramount changed any of the layout of Phantom Theater. Obviously this'll save you money but also this means you are pointing your gun at something right in front you and, to me, it feels too close. It feels like I'm shooting ever target in each room twice. Does anyone else feel like this?

Back to the paper, I agree with the dude and like the article (especially since I am a fan of Disney and they're mentioned in about 2/3 the paragraphs).
