Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind is located at Pixar Pier inside Disney California Adventure Park. It's a spinner ride that is family-friendly and based on the Inside Out movies. The ride spun a little faster than I expected for it being a kids ride but it was still not very fast. I liked the cool decorations and the various colors. It's not a thrilling ride so the lines are generally shorter. read more

Inside out is a really cute concept for the space it takes up, but the line is really long. There isn't anything particularly special about it. So many rides at DCA are already "spinny" type rides, I almost feel the old mini supreme scream type ride gave the park more variety. I like the emotion balls in the line too. That's a cute touch. read more

Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind at Disney California Adventure is a cute ride that I still have mixed feelings about. I definitely miss Flik's Flyers and all of A Bug's Land, which had so much charm, but this retheme works well enough for what it is. The attraction itself is pretty basic and gentle, more about the vibe than the ride mechanics. That said, the Inside Out theming is colorful and playful, and it fits nicely into the boardwalk area without feeling out of place. It's a pleasant, low stakes option when you want to sit down, spin around a bit, and enjoy the atmosphere even if it doesn't exactly blow you away. read more

A ride that makes you feel like you're a ball rolling on the tracks of inside out. More of a tots ride to twirl to their hearts content. Not so great if you get dizzy or have motion sickness. The tight spin is located towards the far corner of the midway. Near the silly swings and boardwalk pizza. You'll pass under the coaster tracks and hear the screams of people riding. read more

I always get dizzy on this ride but its still fun. You sit in an emotional hot air balloon and float in a circle like a merry go round. Tonight was short probably because it was a Oogie Boogie night, but tbh it's not really a long wait on regular evenings either. read more

My kids love this ride. The wait isn't very long and you just sit in a hot air balloon shaped seat and it goes in circles. You get to see all the inside out characters and all the core memories. Very cute ride for kids. Highly suggest this for young kids maybe 8 and lower. The seats can fit about 4-5 people at one time. read more

So cute! This is an adorable ride for kids. And maybe some adults can enjoy it as well. Not a whole lot to this ride though. You sit in the bucket like seats and it takes you around in circles- but it's nice and slow. You go up and down too- but it isn't aggressive. It's a nice, easy, ride to go on. Definitely more for the kids. The ride is based on the Disney movie Inside Out. The movie is about emotions and is a great educational movie for kids. The ride has some of the characters on it with the emotion that they represent. There's also a spot for a photo opportunity too! read more

This ride feels exactly like the name. It seems nice and then all of a sudden gets chaotic and you're spinning and it's over. It's literally my brain when When I hang out with some of my friends. Short and sweet ride, yet a little rowdy. read more

Anything longer than a 10-15 minute wait would make this ride not worth it to be quite honest since it was pretty short and it's just a Dumbo without the controls to be honest. I have never seen Inside Out so I can't really comment on the theming aspect of the ride, but it was neat to see some of the characters as the ride spun around and that each little "hot air balloon" was themed after a different emotion or aspect of human nature. Different characters from the movie narrate the safety instructions and different lines during the ride. I would recommend going on it at night since the lights all around make it super pretty, BUT know that it gets pretty dang cold, especially since you're near water. read more

Our little Leo B. had a thematically appropriate meltdown on the Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind. We took him to Disneyland a couple weeks ahead of his third birthday, and he developed the unfortunate habit of picking the vessel he wanted for each ride while we were waiting in line. He lucked out with the teacups and the elephants, but when our turn came up for Inside Out, his preferred rainbow hot air balloon was unavailable. He was already crying by the time we got on our horrible blue balloon, and I was impressed by the speed with which a ride attendant showed up to give him a Mickey Mouse sticker. The sticker, unfortunately, was not enough, and my experience of this ride was one of going around in slow circles with a very upset toddler. The ride was otherwise cute, though, and the wait wasn't too long, so sure, five stars, why not. If I had to do this again, I'd wait out one go-around to get my son his choice of balloon. I'm all for building resilience, but boy does it suck to wait in line for a kiddie ride only to have the kiddie lose himself in an actual emotional whirlwind. read more

For kiddos, I can see this being a great attraction but for adults it is definitely a one and done for me. The wait time can be 15+ minutes and the ride is so short that it isn't worth it in my opinion. Additionally, compared to other rides and attractions I feel like the theming is lacking in comparison. I hope with the new film coming that it gets a refurbishment to improve theming. read more

2 stars Another kids ride I decided to try. It's basically the baby version of Silly Symphonies (swings) without the vertigo. I think this ride looks better at night since you get to see the memory marbles light up. Wait time is usually 5-10 minutes. read more

Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind is a Inside Out themed ride that has 8 Memory Movers. It's located in Disney's California Adventure within Pixar Pier next to Silly Symphony Swings. My family and I stopped by this ride on a Friday morning around 8:30 A.M. There was no wait time at this ride. It was really short ride. The memory mover that you sit in goes up and down, in a circular motion. It may make you feel dizzy or motion sick afterwards. I think it may have been re-themed as there was a similar ride in the A Bug's Land before it was changed to Avengers in Disney's California Adventure. I wouldn't recommend riding this ride if the wait time is more than 15 minutes during the day, however, it's beautiful at night as you'll be able to see the lights of Pixar Pier. read more

While from the ground this ride looks high, it's not. It's also very short. I'm not a heights person, but after seeing how chill the ride experience was the honey and I decided to jump in line. The wait was about 10 minutes and quite honestly, for how incredibly short the ride is? Even that is a bit too long. The Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind attraction is on the newer side, and visually is a lot of fun to watch. I like the movie, but the sound during your ride doesn't make much sense and could be updated to be more engaging and add more to the ride. It could also easily be twice or three times as long. That being said, with a short enough line I'd ride again and it's a nice add to Disney's California Adventure. read more

What an emotional whirlwind! I will go through emotional whirlwind if I do not get to experience this attraction! This ride is pure chill. It's colors, it's excitement... do you enjoy the movie? You will enjoy the attraction! I think the colors on this ride are so attractive and bright. It's a great addition next to Bing Bong's. The theming is excellent. Fully immersive with the movie posters as you're in the queue. This ride is fully outside. Relaxing and delightful! I am only giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because I think it should be a touch longer. I love the characters especially the "famous unicorn!". This attraction is too cute. I recommend it for the whole family!!! read more

Emotional Whirlwind is literally Flick's Flyers repurposed into a half-baked "Inside Out" themed ride. Disney totally moved the ride from the now-defunct Bug's Land and gave it a new coat of paint. Look, I'm glad they added another ride to the once-boring Paradise Pier area, but this is a lame attraction. You pile into one of 8 baskets and then it spins around sort of like Dumbo, except that you don't get to pilot your own basket. It does seem to go a little faster (and feels higher than the old Flick's Flyers because it's on an elevated platform), but there's hardly any view to speak of and the soundtrack is stupid (with characters from the movie saying things that don't really add anything to the ride). This is a family-friendly attraction, but the ride is too short and too blah to really recommend it. read more

Date of visit: August 25, 2019 One of the best rides in A Bug's Land was Flik's Flyers... so when the area was shuttered last year to begin construction on Avengers Campus, the ride was repurposed to become the Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind. A little paint job here, a relocation to the old Maliboomer location (and new attraction backdrop) there, and we're good to go! That said, if you've ridden Flik's Flyers, the Emotional Whirlwind is pretty much the same ride; you choose your gondola, and up you go for about a 90-second spin. While there's no shade overhead like in the previous ride, the colorful backdrop and fun music are still nice to experience. Plus, it may be just us, but since the upgrade, it feels faster than Flik's Flyers. Don't forget to get pics of the Disgust and Fear figures on the outside! read more

Emotional Whirlwind is a rethemed ride to fit the Pixar Pier area inside for CAA Located in the back area of the pier. Never rode this before but the kiddos wanted to try it. Shot lines. You go up and down in a hot air balloon. Hard to excited for such an emo movie. lol. Kiddos enjoyed the ride though. read more

Pretty fun with small kids, line goes fast took maybe 15-20 minutes on a weekday. We got the Joy basket and the ride is very short.

If you remember Bugs Land and Flik's Flyers, then Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind is the repurposed version of the ride. It's colorful and highlights the Inside Out characters nicely. However, it's more for small children than for adults, allow most of the time adults will go with their kids for that sweet 2 minutes of sit down resting versus standing. If you need a break, this ride might help you out but it's still a short ride and the line may take longer than you think. Small kids means getting off the ride takes loads more time than necessary. Safety first! read more

This is a modified version of the Takeout Boxes ride (Flik's Flyers) back in A Bug's Land. Because Disneyland Resort just reopened recently, there seemed to be a lot of interest to return to the park. So even at reduced capacity, there was 35-minute wait for this ride when I visited in the Memorial Day weekend. Though the actual wait ended up to be more like 20 minutes, the ride itself was not very exciting, and very very VERY SHORT. I got on the Bing Bong box and was lifted into mid-air. We rotated around for... what felt like 10 circles or less, and the ride was over. Without proper theming all around the ride, this was very underwhelming. (Back in A Bug's Land, at least the ride was surrounded and immersed by a larger-than-life sets. You really felt like a little bug at a makeshift carnival.) It's a bit of a lame attempt to include the Inside Out IP, but it's worth riding it once just to say you've done it. The overall aesthetic was cute, I suppose. I like the movie, but not this ride. I would give it 3 stars for the kiddies except it was just such a short ride--so 2 stars. Eh. read more

Fun ride, but such a short duration. This ride was transplanted from Bugs Land (Flik's Flyers). Im glad i was able to ride it, but there are many other great rides in the nearby area. Great for families and those who do not like thrill rides. Definitely recommend stopping by Bing Bong's Sweet Stuff on hot days to grab a tasty frozen concoction read more

This is the cutest ride ever even if it is almost exactly like the old ride in A Bug's Land. The concept of the ride is basically the same, you get on a hot air balloon looking little box and it twirls you and your littles all over so you feel every ounce of emotion! Kidding, but it's basically a merry go round that goes a bit faster. The theming is great, with queue lines decorating with emotional balls to twirl. It looks like they tried to provide shading with small trees. It's definitely adds so much to that little corner of Ca Adventure that needed a little something! read more

Such a great ride for all ages!! We took our 1 yr old and 4 yr old on this one and we just watched this movie, so its super cute to see every detail come to life. This ride is definitely super cute, super immersive in the details, love all the bright colors, you pick your ride, and theres a long plastic seat belt to secure you in. You go up in an angled manner, definitely nothing too crazy fast, but enough for it to be fun yet safe for the young children. Definitely a must ride for anyone who loves this movie, who has small children, or who loves all things Disney!!! read more
