Mr. Toad's Wild Ride

More Los Angeles Rides

Location: Disneyland

Our thoughts: This ride is in the Fantasyland section of Disneyland, so expect a long line and a lot of small children. We decided to ride this because the Mr. Toad's Wild Ride in Disney World's Magic Kingdom in Orlando was demolished and replaced by a Winnie-the-Pooh ride. So we were feeling nostalgic when we boarded the ride, a small old-fashioned car that two adults can fit into.

The ride is based on "The Wind in the Willows" Disney adaptation, and sends you on a crazy ride with spins and turns in the dark with glow-in-the-dark characters that you appear to almost hit on a regular basis. At one point it seems like you're about to hit another car with another rider, but then you spin away at the last moment. There's also another "scary" moment where you come face to face with an oncoming train, but it's really not that scary. It gets weird at the end where you ride through a Disney version of Hell, with lots of brimstone smells and devils with pitchforks coming at you.

The ride is shorter than I remembered, and then I found out that the Disneyland version is shorter than the Disney World one that was demolished. Still, it was a good ride and young kids who are bored with the carousel or teacup rides may enjoy a good spin.
