What riders love
  • Sitting there with people watching at the boardwalk with the water fountains on left is such an incredible spot.
  • The launch is more ínstense than the stats, and the theming and music help out the ride alot.
  • My favorite coaster out of the 26 I've ridden, mostly because of the length and launch.
  • Being my first looping coaster, I was scared out of my mind getting on this. But after that first launch and drop, I immediately fell in love with it.
  • This was my first coaster with an inversion, so it holds a special place in my heart.
  • I love this ride not because it's the most intense thing ever, but because it is pure fun every single time.
  • I wish this ride never ended
  • The ride is so long so it is worth waiting in a long line.
  • A really, really good ride with a launch, loop, and 6,000 feet of smooth track, all themed by Disney.

Performance

Vs. other coasters at Disney California Adventure Park

first every launch and looping coaster I have ridden, back when it was California Screamin’ Nice vibe, cool on board audio, punchy launch and great airtimes!

Angie W

Incredicoaster is a fun family roller coaster for the most part it has some ok airtime moments and a pretty intense loop.

HockeyNinja

Fast, mostly family coaster with some odd pops of airtime and a forgettable loop.

Dave Scott

Not very intense except for the rattly loop, and it has some floater airtime.

Baxter W.

My favorite seat was definitely front because there is no airtime.

@tyweaver145

I don’t remember getting too much airtime or feeling intense moments on this ride but it was a really enjoyable experience.

Eric Clash

A really, really good ride with a launch, loop, and 6,000 feet of smooth track, all themed by Disney.

Will

The main pro to this coaster is how overwhelmingly smooth it was.

Bradley D.

Their is no padding on the bottom of the seats so it is a little uncomfortable and the loop has a slight rattle but otherwise a smooth ride

Henry Japha

it banged my head around a lot to the point i had a headache afterwards, but that probably has to do with me being short lol.

kitty diana

It has decent airtime throughout which I was not expecting, and the loop is decently intense.

Francisco Perez

It’s very tame for being Disneyland’s only real thrill coaster, and kinda just feels like a family coaster masquerading as a thrill coaster.

Cheesehead McSpazatron

This is also a great coaster for younger riders to be introduced to launches and inversions, though the loop is sadly underwhelming.

Emery S.

It doesn’t look fast but dang........when you’re on the ride it goes by to quickly

@awesomeadventuresstudio3999

Dead spots are to be expected cause it’s a Disney ride, but this is the best you can possibly get at this park, so be grateful.

Zach S.

More break run that I can count.

Jeffrey Eugster

The ride’s dual load stations also make it a capacity machine even as one of the most popular rides at the park, the line might get long but it’s constantly moving.

Emery S.

However, they don’t have that much of an effect on the coaster and they are AMAZING for the ride’s capacity.

Bradley D.

the line for this ride is always extremely fast-moving.

Gabe S

Great capacity, and is glossy smooth.

cres sidalia

the lines were also long.

Angie W
Motion sickness risk

I got rlly dizzy on the loop like couldn’t see straight for a second lol

@CUFBOYS

Anyways, it’s a fun ride but unfortunately riding this at 8AM on April 14th led to my first experience with terrible motion sickness :( So now it makes me sad looking back.

Francisco Perez, Captain Coaster review

I don’t remember getting too much airtime or feeling intense moments on this ride but it was a really enjoyable experience.

Eric Clash, Captain Coaster review

One of the most iconic coaster in the world,very long with a very good loop and a great wiew on Pixar Pier.

Alessio Romano, Captain Coaster review

Very great ride, love the launch and jumping while on the airtime hills makes the experience so crazy (yes I was standing up on this ride because I was a short rider)

Marcelo Milk, Captain Coaster review

It’s a good ride for where it is, but it does suffer from a serious rattle and head banging.

Cheesehead McSpazatron, Captain Coaster review

In terms of the ride, it is a tame thrill coaster with some airtime and drops.

Ryan Hanna, Captain Coaster review
