I think the attraction is great and totally based on the premise of the movie where Hopper is just not a nice bug.
There are some heebie jeeby moments if you have issues or any specific problem with certain insects or Arachnids.
I'm pretty sure there are advisories. If a parent takes a child in with KNOWN fears, that is on them. But sometimes you just don't know and I have heard children cry. Live and learn.
Confession--I was a full grown married woman when I first experienced this attraction. I have a needle phobia and I have had two insect stings (one bee and one unknown) in my life. Then the stinger part came. I cried like a baby. Yes, I am pathetic. It was after the rest of the critters were leaving. Yeah--not fun.
The sting didn't hurt like a sting--but my irrational mind games really messed with me. Tears.
Yes I have done the attraction since. I now lean forward and lift Legs at the Approrpiate times so that the bugs can do their thing and I don't feel it. Pathetic? Yes! But my kids enjoy the attraction and they don't need to know mommy is a phonic chicken.
To be fair--pretty sure most of the theater is laughing by the unexpected things that get you at the end.
