Mr. Toad's wild ride


It's been a while since I've been highlighting a Disneyland (the original, in Anaheim, California) attraction, but here we go! Today we're visiting Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, a ride you can only find at the original Disneyland (although it used to be at the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World as well in the past).

In Disneyland, it is one of the few remaining attractions that was operational on the park's opening day in 1955.

Mr. Toad's Wild Ride is a dark ride through a show building in the middle of the Fantasyland part of Disneyland. Guests enter a recreation of Toad Hall, passing by artistic works commemorating both the characters from "The Wind in the Willows" and warning visitors of the trip that they are about to undertake. In the ride's final seconds, a green dragon tries to spit out fire, but fails and ends up having a bad cough. Soon enough, the guests escape back into the confines of Toad Hall and the real world, where they then disembark.

Although it's not one of the Disneyland headliners, since it's an original, I need to ride it anyway when I finally visit the park!
