Welcome to Attraction Checklist.

Let's head over to Fantasyland in Disneyland to ride on one of the most popular attractions there, Alice in Wonderland. The Disneyland website describes this attraction by saying: Take a topsy-turvy trip into the nonsensical world of Disney's Alice in Wonderland aboard an oversized caterpillar. There are no height requirements for this attraction and the Thrill Level describes the ride as being a Slow Ride that is Dark and Loud.

Before we get lost down a rabbit hole, here are five fast facts about Disneyland's Alice in Wonderland.

1. An Alice in Wonderland walkthrough was originally planned for the opening of Disneyland but time and budgets got in the way. Three years later on June 14, 1958, the ride through Alice in Wonderland attraction opened at Disneyland.

2. Many people who worked on the Alice in Wonderland film, also worked on the attraction including Ken Anderson, Mary Blair Claude Coats and John Hench.

3. Alice in Wonderland was Disney's first ever two level ride through attraction with the majority of the action taking place on the ride's second floor above Mr. Toad's Wild Ride!

4. Disney Legend Kathryn Beaumont, the original voice for Alice in the film, reprised her role for several incarnations of this attraction.

5. In 2014, the attraction was given a technology update and now features projections of some of the animation from the film and new animation created just for the ride.

Now let's get small with Alice and ride Alice in Wonderland. Along for the adventure is Suzie and after we ride we'll give you out thoughts on this attraction. This is a binaural recording so if you have headphones put them on now as we ride Alice in Wonderland at Disneyland!

http://www.attractionchecklist.com - John B. deHaas and Grant Baciocco get all emotional as they ride Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind at Disney California Adventure! Recorded on August 23, 2019.

TRANSCRIPT:

Welcome to Attraction Checklist.

This episode takes us to Disney California Adventure to ride Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind. The Disneyland Resort website describes this attraction saying: Tap into Riley's Emotions when you take a sense-sational spin around the whimsical world inside her mind's Headquarters. Guests can be any height to ride this attraction and the thrill level describes it as being a spinning ride.

Before we get all emotional, here are five fast facts about Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind.

1. Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind opened on June 28, 2019.

2. The attraction uses the same infrastructure as the Flick's Fliers attraction we rode back in episode 57. When Bug's Land was closed at Disney California Adventure, Flick's Fliers was moved and rethemed to become the Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind.

3. Each spin on the emotional whirlwind features narration by one of the five emotions featured in the film Inside Out. On the day the audio for this episode was recorded, I was able to get two of those different narrations, one while waiting in the line, the other while on the attraction. Both are presented here.

4. The queue are for the attraction features humorous vacation posters for destinations such as Imagination Land, Personality Island and Cloud Town

5. Figures of the five emotions from the movie surround the attraction. At one point, the Anger figure was going to shoot real fire from his head. This idea was, sadly, dropped due to safety concerns.

Let's whirl around Pixar Pier on Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind! I'm happy to say that John B. deHaas is along for the ride and after we go on we'll give you our thoughts on this attraction. This is a binaural recording so if you have headphones, put them on now as we ride Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind at Disney California Adventure!

http://www.attractionchecklist.com - In this episode, John B. deHaas and I head to Disneyland's Toontown to ride and review Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin! Recorded on August 22, 2019.

TRANSCRIPT:

Welcome to Attraction Checklist.

It's time to head to the Toontown section of Disneyland to ride the zany dark-ride, Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin! The Disneyland website describes this attraction by saying, "Steer a runaway taxicab through the wacky streets of Toontown as you follow the adventures of Roger Rabbit." There are no age or height requirements and the Thrill Level describes this attraction as being a Spinning Slow Ride that is Dark and Loud. Fastpass is available for this attraction.

Before we head to the Toontown Cab Company, here are five fast facts about Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin at Disneyland!

1. Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin, an attraction based on the 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, opened at Disneyland on January 26, 1994.

2. Many actors in the film's voice cast reprised their roles for this attraction. Most notably, Charles Fleischer as Roger Rabbit and the legendary June Foray as the weasel gang member Wheezy.

3. The queue area for this attraction was one of first totally immersive queue areas in a Disney Park and there are several hidden sight gags throughout. You can also peer into sections of the attraction while waiting in line giving you a preview of what's to come. Also see if you can decipher what each of the personalized license plates in the queue area spell out. It's a great way to pass the time.

4. Part dark ride, part spinning teacup, the Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin attraction features 17 Audio-Animatronics and close to 60 animated props.

5. One of the main features of this attraction is that your cab, Lenny, spins! But in keeping with the film, he doesn't spin until he hits the DIP poured out by the Weasels.

Now it's time to ride Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin. Along with me for the ride is John B. deHaas. On the day we rode we had fast passes so we did not wait through the queue. Perhaps in a future episode I'll record some of that audio. But for now, put on your headphones as this is a binaural recording of Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin at Disneyland!

1. Guardians of the Galaxy Mission: Breakout, the retimed Tower of Terror, opened on May 27, 2017. In August of 2017, it was abounded that the attraction would have a special Halloween overlay called Guardians of the Galaxy - Monsters After Dark. The overlay debuted on September 15, 2017.

2. Guardians of the Galaxy - Monsters After Dark is unique in that the ride only switches over to the Halloween Overlay after sunset! So guests can ride two different versions of the attraction in one day! Mission Breakout in the morning and Monsters After Dark at night. It only takes about an hour of downtime to switch between the two. On October 31st, the attraction features Monsters After Dark all day.

3. The events in Monsters After Dark take place moments after the events seen in the regular ride.

If you need a refresher of the regular ride's storyline, go back and listen to episode #32 of Attraction Checklist where we covered that ride.

4. The attraction also receives a new lobby video that is filled with scenes of The Collector's employees trying to get the creatures who escaped in Mission Breakout back in their cages. There's also a brief cameo by the Guardians of the Galaxy character Yondu who appears a a ghost roaming the halls!
