I like the one Oompa-Loompa that waves just before you get off the boat part of the ride.

I have to say the music for Charlie is really good, but its just not used well throughout any of the ride! And when ever I hear the music it just reminds me of the crap ride!

However the one part of the ride that does make me smile (a little bit) is at the end of the lift when Wonka says "ahh wasnt that relaxing" and Charlie says "can we have another day", the Wonka says "another day, another day", its just the way its said that makes me smile.

Partly thanks to Toyland Tours, its tucked out the way, so you dont need to go near it.

(Although I do like the music played on the ride)

We go on it to get a seat/out of the rain.

I dont think its that bad - its a bit of fun and at the end of the day its aimed at kids...but if something terrible were to happen to it and it was closed for some reason I dont think I would bother.

There really isn't anything positive to say. If the Great Glass Elevator part stood alone as it's own attraction it'd be OK I guess.

Mr Sheen is a pretty good actor and has been in many brilliant films eg Wall Street and Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Boat ride sucks, Elevator's epic. Would of been much better with a Toyland Tours upgrade with more rooms and madness. XD

One good thing about Charlie is that it kept one tiny tiny bit of Toyland tours,

I always find "Thank me for joining you" rather amusing, for whatever reason. :P

I have to say since this topic was started I have become a bit addicted to the Charlie music, it sounds so much better at home than when you are on the ride! It just sounds more dramatic and better without the talking, here it is:

I also really like this version with the talking from the ride but it also has the umpa lumpas singing after each scene and its so much better than the current version, it also explains where nothing really happens between each room. Any one got any idea why it was removed?
