Mickey's Toontown and Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin Anniversary

[Californian Elitist]

Mickey's Toontown at Disneyland opened twenty-one years ago, yesterday. Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin, the ever-so-popular ride, opened a year later, twenty years ago. Happy Birthday to both!

RIP, Trolley:

Love Roger Rabbit. One of my favorite dark rides unique to DLR that makes it my favorite park.

Next time we go I want to explore Toontown more. We've never done that because we are always running from spot to spot.

Toontown is so cute and I love Roger Rabbit ride (not the movie though). One of my favorite finds was the Goofy water drinking fountain that makes noises.

I love Toontown and Roger Rabbit (both the ride and the movie). That ride is one of my all-time favorites, right up there with Big Thunder and Pirates. Happy birthday to both Toontown and RR!

You don't like the film? Why not if you don't mind me asking?

Fun fact: the ride was originally supposed to go up to the second floor and go outside, as well. At some point, though, they discovered that the ride vehicles simply wouldn't be able to make it up the ramp to get upstairs. However, because of the staggered opening schedule that @raven24 pointed out, the Roger Rabbit building was done way before the ride was. You can see where the vehicles were supposed to go outside on the second floor if you look to the left of the entrance.

It sucks when you realize how awesome certain rides would have been had they been built according to their original designs. :/

Neat fact. Thanks for sharing.

It has been awhile since I watched it but just wasn't a big fan of the story, or the characters. Roger seemed a little annoying and I didn't care for Jessica. Just one of those films that wasn't for me.

We had such a good time playing around Toontown this past summer. The kids really loved it. Cant wait to head back in June

Toontown is underrated IMO - it was a fully immersive and realized environment from day one, a precursor to Cars Land. Every detail is taken care of, and the land's only real issue is lack of shade. There are so many layers to the land, and you can tell the Imagineers had a blast designing it.

If only TDA would do something with the trolley and the Chip and Dale dead space instead of just leaving them dead.

Roger Rabbit has one of Disney's best queues.

The ride itself...eh, it's alright. Pretty good. I personally think it's awesome because Roger Rabbit is my favorite Disney film. I would have preferred something a bit closer to the movie (in that regard, I guess it is very much in the spirit of the Fantasyland dark rides), but it's always a great time just seeing Roger and Jessica.

Us too! My hubby is a HUGE Roger Rabbit fan.

That would have been so much fun to spin around outside up there. This used to be one of my favorite rides until they severely limited the spinning action.

Agree...the queue is a must do if you are going to ride this attraction.
I do not recommend FP for it as you will completely miss the cool things to be seen/found in the queue.
Ride at least once without FP....and re-ride with it if need be.

One of my fave queues in the Park, but i loved the film and Roger and friends are some of my fave Disney characters.
