Disney’s California Adventure Rides

  • Flik’s Flyers –  a standard kiddie ride that goes in circles and lifts slightly off the ground. One ride vehicle is a Chinese take-out box, which is really adorable
  • Francis’ Ladybug Boogie – sit in a ladybug and spin around (think teacups, but manly ladybugs named Francis instead)
  • Frozen: Live at the Hyperion – an hour long Broadway-caliber stage show
  • Golden Zephyr – standard carnival ride that slowly goes in circles while you sit in a silver ride vehicle.
  • Goofy’s Sky School – a crazy-mouse style roller coaster
  • Grizzly River Rapids –sit in a giant 8-person floating tube – you will probably get wet – comparable to Kali River Rapids at Animal Kingdom in Florida
  • Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout – the former Tower of Terror, re-themed to Guardians. More intense and much more fun than Tower. Probably my favourite Disney ride from all 6 US parks…
  • Heimlich’s Chew Chew Train – a little kid train ride, help Heimlich find the candy corn!
  • Incredicoaster – formerly California Screamin’, a high-speed roller coaster with an inversion – opening up at the end of June 2018
  • Jumpin’ Jellyfish – a ride which we’ve actually never been on…
  • The Little Mermaid – sit in a continuous moving seashell as you move along through an Animatronic Cole’s Notes version of the story. Same as one in Magic Kingdom in Florida
  • Luigi’s Rollicking Roadsters – a trackless ride with dancing cars
  • Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree – Mater will sing to you as you sit in a tractor doing a hoedown. It’s cute, kind of whips you around a bit.
  • Mickey’s Fun Wheel – a Ferris wheel. Two options – regular or swinging. Lots of puking in the swinging cars…. currently being rethemed for Pixar Pier
  • Monsters Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue – a slow moving ride through Monstropolis.
  • Radiator Springs Racers – a racing ride, sit in a 6-person car while you drive through Radiator Springs from Cars. Think Test Track from Epcot in Florida, but better.
  • Silly Symphony Swings – the classic carnival swings ride
  • Soarin’ – same as the ride of the same name in Florida- a motion flight simulator that takes you on a journey around the world to see the sights and smell the scents.
  • Toy Story Midway Mania – a shooting game where you sit in a vehicle wearing 3D glasses. Same as the ride of the same name in Florida
  • Tuck and Roll’s Drive ‘Em Buggies – bumper cars located in the Bug’s Life Land
