BITSoftheBEACH: The Alice Ride


Under license from Disney, this colourful family ride opened in 1961. It has always been a favourite with park visitors.
 
Hi-tech it isn't and thrill seekers aren't going to find much that interests them here, however the ride does have a charm all of its own...
 
Curiously there are at least five spelling mistakes in the ride:  I'me (twice),  your'e, catterpiller and topsy-turvey...Curiouser and curiouser...
 
Commonly called "The Alice Ride" - as characters from both Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass appear - the highlights of the ride include the topsy-turvy room and the trip down the rabbit hole.
 
Beware the jolt as the ride starts. As at 8/3/03 the ride ops are pointing this out to riders...
 
As at 24/8/03 this ride now comes complete with seatbelts!
