Cosmic Coaster

Tourist attraction • Roller coaster

đź‘Ťđź‘Ť We did this with the $35 package with other attractions, and it's a fun ride! It's bumpy and shaky and makes for a bit of a wild ride! Good for all ages. The line was a bit long when we went, so I'd recommend recommend going either fairly early or late at night to avoid the crowds!

    Its ok. The seats not very comfortable and just a lot of shaking. Would have been better if they didn’t have the overhead led lights that kept coming on. 3d glasses not the cleanest and hard to see out of for me.

    If you don’t have a bad back when you go on this ride, you will when you get off. The seat just jerks left and right (rather violently) over and over for like 5 minutes straight and this is coming from someone who frequents amusement parks and theme parks a lot.

    Awful experience. The 3D glasses were never given to us or anyone on the ride. My seat wasn't working properly so they had to cut the movie, move me, and start again. My son was sitting on a chair that had gum on one handle and had to move to another one. Overall, the only nice thing was the concept.

    This was fantastic. The cleaners used to sanitize the 3D glasses left a film that I suspect everyone mistook for being dirty. They were fine and staff were friendly, accommodating and professional. It happened to be raining when we hit Clifton Hill but we weren't going to let a little rain put a damper on our fun. And because of the rain, nobody else was around. First of all, my husband and I had the ride completely to ourselves. We felt like celebrities! But even if the ride had been full, it would not have changed my review. Knowing that I was completely safe made this experience amazing. Mentally I was able to just let go and enjoy. The happy hubby couldn't stop laughing. We bounced, there was wind, forward and backward movement--all done in your seat. This was the first time I'd been on a virtual roller coaster ride and I cannot wait to go again. I would 100% recommend this ride to anyone who feels they've outgrown a real roller coaster. It's safe, fun and affordable.

    On a recent state to Niagara Falls we purchased the funpass of all six things that are included in the fun pass this by far was my favorite. First of all we did it on a rainy day and my wife and I basically had this ride to ourselves it was like a personalized experience. I am not a fan of real roller coasters but this was just as good to me as a real roller coaster if not better they have simulated wind in your face and the way it moves and stops and shakes it feels so much like you're on a roller coaster such a great experience I laughed and squealed the whole time. Highly recommend as a matter of fact because of this ride I am considering returning to Niagara Falls just to do it one more time. I would choose it over the zombie attack which appears to be more popular.

    Fun time for what it is. Short and sweet. The seat moves everywhere, shakes, and vibrates. I really liked the 'slam on the breaks' effect. Then the seat back shooting backwards, giving you that flying forward sensation. Individually priced, for $12 it's not worth it. But with the fun pass, it definitely is.

    Did this as part of a package with other attractions. I don’t think I would do this all on it’s own. It was cute and kinda trippy. It was a fun time. Located right inside the arcade, so there are tons of things to do around it

    Great coaster experience to try. This 3D experience scare you more. Enjoyable experience

  • 4/5 Brooke B. 2 months ago on Google New
    Good for ages 4 and up I'd say! We enjoyed it. Wish it felt a little faster but for a fake coaster it's good đź‘Ť

    Enjoyed the experience. Seat movement etc was synchronized perfectly to the screen. Was a very long line up for a short "ride".

  • 3/5 Nabeel H. 7 months ago on Google
    The ride had moving seats, which corresponded with the film you were watching, which was 3D. You had the option to turn on/off your moving seats, which is helpful if uncomfortable. It was a 5 minute ride, with a 30+ minute line up. Could have been a longer ride, otherwise, was a fun ride!

    Nice concept and good experience. Kids enjoyed it the most. We did it as a part if the clifton hill fun pass. They provided with 3d glasses . There was a wait time of35 min. Just be cautious if you are sensitive to motions/ vibrations. It does mimic the experience of real roller coaster

  • 5/5 Skyler M. 9 months ago on Google
    While waiting in line I started to doubt if this attraction was worth waiting for. Trust me, it is. This is the most fun I’ve ever had on a roller coaster.

  • 2/5 Murphy C. 11 months ago on Google
    We did this attraction as part of the 6 event combo pass. It was by far our least favorite of the 6 events. The first 30-45 seconds of the 3d coaster were cool but then it just seemed to keep repeating with different backgrounds for the next 5 minutes. If it’s free and you want to do it, go for it…but don’t feel like you’re missing much if you skip it. The seat movement was more shaking and vibrating than anything else. You can unplug your seatbelt at any time to stop the chair from shaking (and still just sit still and watch the 3d movie).

    Some people are saying it was boring and adults wouldn’t like it… I say speak for yourself. I had a blast. It’s not something I would have thought of trying if I hadn’t gotten the fun pass, but it was one of the best activities on the pass! I will definitely do it again one day, either with or without the pass.

  • 5/5 David M. 1 year ago on Google
    As a grown man I honestly loved this thing. It's more than just 3d glasses and a moving chair. The wind blowing past you, the lights moving through the room to give ambience - it's actually amazing. I went with my 4 kids 8-16 and they all loved it. The ride was too rough for my wife who unbuckled the seat belt to stop the motion. She was hitting her head too much. There isn't a lot of cushion if your head is sensitive. We got this as part of the fun pass and I loved it. We'd all do it again. Except my wife.

    Fun ride. The kids really liked it. We went during the weekday and it was not crowded. The staff was friendly. The glasses were cleaned. Highly recommended.

  • 2/5 Brittany H. 1 year ago on Google
    I was in the Niagara Falls area in late August/early September 2022. We purchased the Fun Pass and the Cosmic Coaster formerly known as the Wild West Coaster was one of the activities. We thought this was a perfect activity for a rainy day as the coaster is located inside of the Great Canadian Midway arcade. There was no wait for the experience. You’re provided with 3D glasses. I must tell you this was a very boring experience. I kept wondering when will this be over. To me the ride seats move and shake it was boring. If you don’t want to experience any of the vibrations then leave your seat unbuckled. I don’t think older kids or adults would enjoy this activity. This may be better suited for younger children.

    I enjoyed our time here, it was my first time spending time with my son for 10 years and we definitely had a blast.

  • 1/5 Jaime A. 1 year ago on Google
    This was awful. Too many people crowded in a small entryway without airflow. The glasses were poorly cleaned and hard to see out of. The ride motion mostly shook side to side instead of giving a roller coaster feeling. Not worth doing even with it included on the pass.

    Got my experience ruined (and could have met an accident), courtesy of the staff at the attraction. Late night of 1st August 2022, there were three members of staff - 2 women and one man. One of the women (aged) was still doing her work sincerely while the other woman and the man were just busy chatting. There was no oversight for safety as in height checks by member of staff, it was just left to public. Coming to my experience, the seat belt of the say I was on and I think it was number 12 was not extending all the way around my waist. I tried pulling it but it wouldn't come all the way. These guys didn't care and almost started the ride until I shouted to call out the guy, he still didn't care and looked other way until I called him ashwin, this time louder - all this when these three staff members were barely 3-5 feet behind me, looking at me calling them. Eventually he comes around and taunts me as if I don't know how to belt up. The seat belt was stuck and at a point even he struggled to pull but of course its his job and I don't do this everyday at the ride. Gave me a look, a taunt and left. Wonder who would be responsible had something gone wrong. Either these staff are students who don't like their job or just underpaid overworked people, either way I don't care. You dont get to be negligent at a ride like that with anybody. Your ignorance and lack of sincerity towards you're job can cost somebody something. Experienced another staff at token purchase counter behave rudely with a senior lady who even slapped him on the wrist for that but he just expalined and carried on his attitude until the lady left. The staff attitude itself can bring down the entire experience as if they're doing us a favour by working there.

    It was better than expected. A lot of shaking and moving, but a fun ride. The only downside are the 3d glasses. Visibility was very low as they were very smudgy.

  • 5/5 3r!n Go B. 1 year ago on Google
    It was a twenty minute wait, but it was the fastest and longest simulated space rollercoaster I’ve ever been on!!!!! Kid friendly, we took our 3yr old and it was her first experience like this and she loved it!
