And to see the rest of the park as well. Circular seating. You can stand up when it reaches the top. Not wheelchair accessible. You must go up the stairs to get in line. Going down the stairs to exit. Hidden entrance, in between a game & the BBQ place. Pre-recorded message with information regarding the park. This ride is originally from Switzerland, brought over, piece by piece. Very interesting. Most recent visit: mon, 10/23/23. Not busy at all. (Sun was shoulder to shoulder.)

Sky Cabin is located in the Boardwalk at Knott's Berry Farm…read more At the end of the day, the park started to get long lines and crowded, so my 7 and 8-year-olds were desperate to ride as many rides quickly as possible. This is not a thrill ride. You stay seated as a friendly employee briefly discusses the history of the Sky Cabin and surrounding sights with quips and quiddities as it slowly ascends to the top while simultaneously rotating rather slowly. Once the Cabin comes to a complete stop at over 180 feet above the ground, you are free to stand up and take in the "360-degree panoramic view of Orange County and Los Angeles" views. It turned out to be a neat mini adventure. The wait time was nada. That's 'cause everyone and their mamas was waitin' in line for the Timber Mountain Log Ride. Dang it. Enjoy the air conditioned cabin... the only thing I think needs improvement is the clarity of the glass. There were prints and scratches and... bird poop. Lol. TIP + wheelchairs and service dogs may be accommodated on this ride!

King Arthur Carrousel is a classic Disneyland attraction located in Fantasyland and has been…read moredelighting guests for generations. With its beautifully restored horses, charming music, and storybook atmosphere, it captures the timeless feel of a traditional carousel found at classic fairs and theme parks. This attraction is suitable for guests of all ages and can be enjoyed whether you're riding solo, with friends, or making memories with family. It's especially fun for younger children who enjoy picking out their favorite horse and taking a spin around the carousel. As simple as the ride may be, it's part of the nostalgic charm that makes Disneyland special. The location in the heart of Fantasyland also makes it a great attraction to enjoy while exploring the surrounding area. One thing to keep in mind is that the ride continuously spins in a circle. If you're prone to motion sickness, dizziness, or nausea, you may want to skip this attraction or ride with caution. For everyone else, it's a fun and relaxing Disneyland classic that's worth experiencing at least once.

One of the best parts of the carrousel is that, because it's so large, it accommodates massive…read moreamounts of people each go around so the wait for the ride is usually so minimal. My younger kids love this ride, often requesting multiple trips and, honestly, because of the minimal wait, I'm always happy to oblige. Not to mention it's always fun to go on one of the original rides of the park. It's fun to think about how many people over 70 years have gone around and around. The ornate decorations of the ride are absolutely stunning. There's so much to look at that I feel like I see something new every time I ride it. Finally, this is a great area to character watch. I've also seen so many of them ride the actual ride. Something that can't be accommodated on most rides. On my last trip we saw Peter Pan goofing off and riding much to the delight of kids (& let's be honest, their parents too). I often feel like a lot of people without little kids just pass right on through Fantasyland because there aren't any thrill rides. But, honestly, it's rides like this with its history and uniqueness that make it a near required ride for me on any Disneyland trip.

The ride is super relaxing, with cool views of areas you don't normally notice, especially the Grand Canyon and dinosaur scenes--they're a nice nostalgic touch. The train itself has that old-school charm that really fits the whole Disneyland vibe. Wait time wasn't bad at all, and since it circles the park, it's also really convenient if you want to get from one side to another without dealing with crowds. Overall, it's not a thrill ride, but it's perfect for slowing things down and just enjoying the atmosphere. Definitely worth hopping on at least once.

This ride feels so out of place with the dinosaur part, but I love it so much! It's a great break…read morefrom the hectic...everything...that Disneyland is and I appreciate that. I also love the old school feel of this ride. The only thing I don't like is how long it can take to get a seat if there's a line, but that's Disney in general so I really can't complain.

Team Tiana all the way! Bayou Country not only has the former Splash Mountain, now known as Tiana's Bayou Adventure, but also the new Ray's Berets Shop full of hats! Louis' Critter Club is another jazzified souvenir shop in this section that is new! Then we have the Winnie the Pooh and friends still checking in, yep you can take photos with Pooh, Eeyore, Tigger, and Piglet depending on who is in the 100 Akre Woods - there's always two little fellas out. Along with that, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh is a cute dark ride that I must ride every time I'm at Disneyland as an avid Eeyore fan. You won't ever catch me on the Davy Crockett canoes but they fit in well with the vibes of this section of the park. The Hungry Bear Jamboree is a spot you can pop in for some eats, but I prefer Pooh Corner for my Disney snacks. Give me all the snacks and unhealthy noms when I'm splurging! It's a very small section of the park and I feel like the name could have been made something a little cooler aligned with the Princess and the Frog, but listen. It's Disney, I love it, I'm a stan.

I decided on my last trip to check it out. There is only one ride in Hollywood Land - Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue! That ride will eventually close for the upcoming Avatar land. The Red Car Trolley that used to run up and down the street also closed down recently. This area has changed a lot since it was called Hollywood Pictures Backlot when the park first opened. The 2,000 seat Hyperion Theater has shown musicals like Disney's Aladdin: A Musical Spectacular, Frozen - Live at the Hyperion and Rogers: The Musical over the years. I saw the Aladdin years back. Mickey's PhilharMagic is a 4D film attraction. I remember a Muppet attraction that was once here, but I guess that is gone too. The Disney Animation Building is cool if you are into seeing how Disney magic comes to life. There are a few places for food and drinks and a place to shop. Other than that, there is not much here other than it is a cool place to go for a stroll.

There's 2 showings of this and I got to see a bit of the one at 10:15 PM (smaller crowd due to people already wanting to leave the park since it closes in 45 minutes at 11 PM during the trip I was there). Lots of lights beaming out of It's a Small World and colorful lights and projections all around, showcasing Disneyland's 70 years including scenes from other parts and attractions around the park like Main Street, Pirates of the Caribbean, Big Thunder Mountain, the Enchanted Tiki Room, Fantasmic!, Peter Pan's Flight, The Haunted Mansion, Star Wars Rise of the Resistance, Tiana's Bayou, and much more. It's done in the same style as the 2D art used for It's a Small World so that's neat. Was surprised to hear "Hellfire" from the Hunchback of Notre Dame (banger song by the way) and other mixes in like Remember Me by Coco and a speech by Walt Disney. Definitely worth a quick watch or to ride It's a Small World or Casey Jr. Circus Train during it.

The ride itself is a fun little twisting turn that navigates above the Storybook Land Boat ride so you get a really nice perspective of all the little models below. While you don't get the narration you do on the boat, it almost feels like you are knocking two rides out in one. My kids might not agree with me, but I think it counts. I have kids that are currently 8, 6, & 3. They all absolutely love this ride. Even when some of them will go on to ride more intense rides, they will always have fun on this relaxing ride. Honestly, it's a great way to rest up and recharge.
