Took my mum here as she hasn't experience 7D before. Was fun, we did the carnival. Great customer service. We were fortunate as only ones there and no crowds. Would recommend for young people, not just adults haha.
Perhaps misunderstood ..short game with rollercoaster seats ..buckle up ..funny ..different game options ..quick fun inexpensive wharf
Neither of the guns worked and was a waste of money. All three adult tickets waisted. Not great or worth the wait . Extremely expensive , unfortunately not work the money, time or advanced planning to prioritize doing this while we were there.
Hi Jennifer, we're truly sorry to hear about your experience and the technical issues you encountered. That’s not the experience we aim to provide. Please feel free to reach out to us directly so we can look into this further.
We were late and they let us in any way, it was great and will do it again. Can't wait to come back.
We've done one of these in Germany which was a pretty neutral scenario of shooting robots in a western setting. Here some of the shooters are much darker and may be upsetting for kids. The zombie one we got was not suitable for kids.
I have always wanted to do this....and it didnt dissapoint at all.....more than what i expected. I ltake the Ferry over I try 1x a month. Next time i come with friends we r going to get the bundle package.. IM SO OBSESSED w this attraction.
We are so glad to hear that you had a great time at the 7D Ride Experience! We are sure your friends will enjoy it just as much as you did. We look forward to seeing you and your friends soon!
It was a really fun experience to share with family and friends. I highly recommend it. The fantasy aspects are a really cool addition!!! 😎
It was sooooo much fun and I’m not even a video game type of person I would definitely do this again I need To try all the games my boyfriend and I had such great time!
The 7D DarkRide was really fun but it didn’t actually give anyone a scare. My sister and I did the carnival story and the zombies one, both were pretty fun.
The feeling of driving fast was great. The ride and fun was too short. The zombie were scary when they popped in screen up close.
Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your visit to the 7D Ride Experience. Next time give Carnival a try if you like scary rides.
