Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin at Disneyland has reopened after a month-long refurbishment, removing the manual guest-controlled spinning, plus a few other technical updates.
Updated Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin
The wheel in each taxi no longer shows spinning instructions but general safety instructions. The wheel itself does still spin so guests can pretend they’re driving, but this doesn’t control the car’s movement at all.
During the ride, the car properly spins only three times. It otherwise just turns to face different directions. However, we felt like our car was facing backwards for most of the ride, meaning we missed several big scenes.
Mickey Visit reached out to Disney and received this official explanation for the unannounced change to the ride:
A Disneyland official shared with Mickey Visit that they are continually making updates to attractions based on guest feedback and behavior. In this case, the ride change now means that they can offer lap sitting for younger guests on Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin by making modifications to the steering wheel component of the attraction.
They also shared that the update is part of general efforts to mitigate downtime on the attraction and to allow more guests to experience the ride as part of their ongoing goal to improve ride uptime and maintenance.
Other than the spinning change, the ride received new colored LED lights in the fireworks crates, the Dipmobile was fixed up and is fully functional again, and the portable hole version of Roger was refreshed.
The tire props and two railings were removed from the exit queue to make room for ECV scooters. Stroller parking is now available in front of the attraction instead of in the nearby park space or outside Mickey’s Toontown.
