Roger Rabbit\u2019s Car Toon Spin riders no longer have control over Benny the Cab as they race through Toontown in search of Jessica Rabbit while trying to evade the villainous weasels in the latest change to the 1994 Disneyland dark ride.<\/p>\n

Disneyland made a series of updates to Roger Rabbit\u2019s Car Toon Spin in Mickey\u2019s Toontown during a monthlong seasonal refurbishment in April that sought to reduce downtime, increase throughput, accommodate younger riders and respond to rider feedback.<\/p>\n

Disneyland\u2019s Car Toon Spin ride is based on the 1988 film \u201cWho Framed Roger Rabbit\u201d where the cartoon superstar is accused of murder and must turn to detective Eddie Valiant to find the killer.<\/p>\n

Here are the four reasons Disneyland changed Roger Rabbit\u2019s Car Toon Spin.<\/p>\n

1) Rider Feedback<\/h3>\n

Disneyland updated Roger Rabbit\u2019s Car Toon Spin based on guest behavior and feedback, according to Disneyland officials.<\/p>\n

Roger Rabbit\u2019s Car Toon Spin riders can no longer control the spin on the taxi cabs with the rotation controlled by the ride itself, according to Theme Park Insider.<\/p>\n

Ride vehicles now spin on their own like Haunted Mansion Doom Buggies to focus rider attention on specific scenes, according to MousePlanet.<\/p>\n

The taxi cabs still have steering wheels, but they no longer control the spin of the ride vehicles, according to MousePlanet. Directional arrows have been removed from the steering wheels.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first time Disneyland has made a major change to Roger Rabbit\u2019s Car Toon Spin.<\/p>\n

Walt Disney Imagineering revamped the Toontown dark ride in 2021 to make the culturally outdated ride \u201cmore relevant\u201d with a backstory that threw Jessica Rabbit into the lead role as a private eye determined to stamp out a Toontown crime wave. The makeover also covered up the signature sparkly red dress worn by the sexy toon actress with a detective\u2019s trenchcoat and fedora.<\/p>\n

2) Lap Riders<\/h3>\n

Disneyland now offers lap sitting for younger riders on Roger Rabbit\u2019s Car Toon Spin after modifying the ride\u2019s steering component, according to Disneyland officials.<\/p>\n

Roger Rabbit\u2019s Car Toon Spin has no height requirement. Children under 7 years old must be accompanied by a rider 14 years or older.<\/p>\n

3) More Riders<\/h3>\n

The modifications made to Roger Rabbit\u2019s Car Toon Spin will improve rider throughput and provide a better overall guest experience, according to Disneyland officials.<\/p>\n

The Toontown dark ride typically has some of Disneyland\u2019s worst wait times due to low throughput, according to Theme Park Insider.<\/p>\n

4) Less Downtime<\/h3>\n

Modifications to Roger Rabbit\u2019s Car Toon Spin will mitigate unexpected down times, according to Disneyland officials.<\/p>\n

The new ride experience still needs a bit of fine tuning with the rotating ride vehicles occasionally facing backward during some show scenes, according to Theme Park Insider.<\/p>\n

Theme Park Insider applauded any attempts by Disneyland to reduce ride downtime and increase rider throughput.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny change to the ride should not come at the expense of the show quality,\u201d according to Theme Park Insider.<\/p>\n
