Pixar Pal-A-Round – Swinging

A Hoot and a Half! I'm not going to lie, a couple of our group were "wheel of death" terrified on this thing, but for the rest of us, it was an absolute blast! We went on the swinging side of the Pixar Pal-A-Round, and watching the looks on our friends' faces as we swayed back and forth was priceless. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. It's safe to say a few of them won't be getting back on anytime soon, but I'll be first in line for another ride! It was a total hoot and the highlight of our day.

(Warning: first part is only fear) I just about had a full blown panic attack on this ride, because me and my siblings went on a swinging cart. I was afraid of it swinging and falling into the water below and we wouldn't be able to get out (🫣) and, there was virtually nothing to hold onto except your seat which unnerved me. BUT BESIDES ALL OF MY FEARS it was super fun and impressive. By far the craziest and coolest ferris wheel I've ever ridden 🔥

There are two options for this ride. A normal Ferris wheel gondola that is a very nice ride with great views of the park. There is also a swinging spinning option which solely exists to make you sick. Do yourself a favor and ride the normal gondola unless you really love vertically spinning rides.

Let no one fool you, its true name is "Mickeys Death Wheel" The normal gandolas are nice, especially closer to the nighttime. A great view of the park. Chill vibes. Normal Ferris wheel stuff. Get in the swinging gandolas.. Oooh boy. I love roller coasters, i love g forces. Swinging gandolas just make you feel sick. The motion gets to you. Theres no seatbelts so you just gotta be sure youre not leaning too far forward. The motion keeps you seated but the doubt is there. Recommend to ride it at least once. Its a Disney branded trauma factory. 5/5

Three times We took them out of service, we stood in a long line waiting and when we arrived at the door they told them that it was broken and those who were put out of service have already passed you three times, it's not fair to pay

What happens when you cross a Pirate ship style ride with a ferris wheel? The answer is Pixar Pal Around. I was excited to try this ride especially when I watched how the swinging cars would follow a U shaped track depending upon its height. My husband wanted to ride the non swinging car and I went with the swinging car. Oddly enough although both lines were long we managed to get on at the same time with his car being in front of me. I sat on one side with two women who offered to take my picture on the ride. There isn't anything to strap you in but once you get going you actually do swing up and back much like the Pirate ship. Hang on for the time of your life. Another interesting observation was since I was in the swinging car I never knew when we reached the top as our car dipped downward. I had no idea how many loops we took but before we knew it the ride was over. I asked my husband how he enjoyed the non swinging car and he told me it was like a traditional Ferris wheel where you can get good sights of the park and the area surrounding it. The choice is yours-take the non swinging car and ride like a Ferris Wheel or take the swinging car and have the time of your life.

My daughters loved this! I didn't care for the swinging car but my daughters sure did! The view was amazing from up that high! Loaded and unloaded much faster than a regular ferris wheel!

Everyone who's into ferris wheels should try the swinging gondola. It's like being into two rides in one. The views are amazing and you'll enjoy being onboard for a reasonable amount of time.
