The Baseline: For a theme park attraction, a quality experiences must be provided, the attraction must be fun and engaging, an immersive environment must be established, the queue line must be themed, and safety must be a top priority.
Attraction: This dark ride has been around since 1958 but has got some great updates as the years have gone by. This gets a 5 star nostalgia boost but it is a great ride experience with several of the Wonderland characters and music from the animated film.

It is definitely a fun ride and I wouldn't hesitate to...
