We really enjoyed this, but we do these a lot. We have one here at home at Moody Gardens, and it's not as good as the one in Gatlinburg. These are scaled-down versions of the "Back to the Future" ride at Universal Studios, for those who have been there. It is pricey, but everything in a tourist trap is, so... more

The facts: You pay your money. You wait. You walk into an old, run-down, small theater. You sit in old run-down seats and fasten a seatbelt over your body. They play a few minutes of old film reels, complete with the lines running down the pictures like the old projector type movies. While you watch the film your seat jerks... more

This was ok.. nothing special. The clips were much too short and even a little boring. I also think this is way over-priced. The snow during the ice cube clip was neat but probably wouldn't do this again. more

Me and my fiance got the ripleys aquarium + 2 other things, and we decided to give this a go. We waited in line for like 30 min, okay. When we go in there, we had to wait another 15 minutes for the woman to finally come around to check the seat belts. The seats were already shaking. Then off... more

I have only been on one other motion ride some years ago and I remeber it being very entertaining. Did not have the same feeling with this one. You watch two very short movie clips about 7 mins each. The motion didnt seem to go with the movie. The second clip about an ice cube was much better. Not sure... more

We decided to do the value pack for Ripley's and went to the moving theater. Once we got in we sat in the seats and they were already shaking back and forth. When the ride started it was a adventure like Indiana Jones and we were going down the river. After that we were going through snow on a sled... more

We did this for the first time last week. I was unable to sit with my children and didn't like that at all because I had no idea what to expect. I would say it was OK. You get jerked around quite a bit. I thought the monster trucks and snowmobiles were boring. I enjoyed the roller coaster. I think... more
