During part of the attraction, you are poked in the back to simulate a sting. It's a a little stick thingy that pops out of the back of your seat. Some find it to actually be painful if you're leaning back. I guess it depends on your tolerance level. For me it's more of a surprise and not painful. I like the ride and think it's cute, but another reason some people dislike it is because they claim the smell effects (sprayed like air freshener) clings to their clothing, won't wash out and causes asthma/COPD flair-ups. I personally think that's quite a stretch, but some take it VERY seriously. It's definitely a ride I would not miss; partly because there's not much else to do at AK ;-)
They always understood that everything WDW is pretend and meant to be fun....and this wasn't a place where they'd actually be harmed.
I have experianced the screaming wailing kids, but it doesn't cause me to like the attraction any less. This one is my favorite 4D attraction because it is a bit scary. I'm 37, no kids, but I still go to Disney every year because I love it and and makes me feel like a kid again. It's good that Disney adds some attractions with a scarier element for folks like me. Fyi, I also love Mission: Space. Keep the thrill rides and rides with an edge coming. If everything was "It's a small world" I would have stopped going long ago
Can someone explain the stinging to me? I just keep reading that you get stung but is it in your back or butt? Does it hurt?
Sorry to derail! I'm so confused. lol
I am writing our trip report from our last minute trip last weekend. We did Tough to be A Bug for the first time ever this trip. Here is my premise:
I have been going to WDW since I was 9 and I am 46. I have memories of great attractions long gone and attractions I wish were still there (Mission to the Moon/Mars >>> Stitch). I have not liked attractions (Mission:SPACE to me was a clear miss given the intensity). But Tough to be a Bug is the only attraction I have experienced at WDW that I consider offensive. Here is why - it should be for kids, it really should be. But the story line is scary, dark and intense. The effects are scary. My memory of the ride was the wailing of kids drowning out the soundtrack.
Disney does some great, amazing stuff but this is the first attraction I can remember ever that I would tell someone to never, ever do. Mission:SPACE is one that I would recommend with caution. But this one is simply an avoid.
Defenders?
It's high buttocks. I love that unexpected ending, so to speak. A little slight stinging feeling like if you scratched you back with your fingernail. The old "Honey I Shrunk the Audience" had a similar effect when they released the lab mice (in 3D) and I always found it hilarious to see the reaction of the crowd when it felt like there were mice brushing against your legs. That was worth the whole show.Can someone explain the stinging to me? I just keep reading that you get stung but is it in your back or butt? Does it hurt?
