Come Along for the Ride! Embark on a relaxing 18-minute, 1.2-mile scenic tour onboard an authentic steam-powered train.

The Disneyland Railroad is also a handy way to get around quickly and easily. And because the trains are scheduled to arrive every 5 to 10 minutes at most times throughout the day, you’ll have just enough time to take in all the sights at your station before you board! Blast from the Past There are 5 meticulously restored, working narrow-gauge trains you can ride. Each includes 4 sets of passenger cars and has been named after a careful selection of locomotive legends. The lone exception is the Ward Kimball, which was named after the Disney Animator who fostered Walt Disney’s passion for the railway. C.K. Holliday E.P. Ripley Ernest Marsh Fred Gurley Ward Kimball A Longstanding Disney Tradition A noted train enthusiast, Walt Disney built his very first railroad in his backyard. The Carolwood Pacific Railroad, a 1/8-scale train, debuted in 1950 and featured a custom-built, steam powered locomotive that encircled his property. Delighted with his miniature backyard railroad, Walt decided to share his love of trains with the whole world. The result was the Santa Fe & Disneyland Railroad, a favorite of Guests since the park opened in 1955. Today, railroads exist at every Disney park around the globe.
Disneyland Park, originally Disneyland, is the first of two theme parks built at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, opened on July 17, 1955. It is the only theme park designed and built under the direct supervision of Walt Disney. It was originally the only attraction on the property; its name was changed to Disneyland Park to distinguish it from the expanding complex in the 1990s.Walt Disney came up with the concept of Disneyland after visiting various amusement parks with his daughters in the 1930s and 1940s. He initially envisioned building a tourist attraction adjacent to his studios in Burbank to entertain fans who wished to visit; however, he soon realized that the proposed site was too small. After hiring a consultant to help him determine an appropriate site for his project, Disney bought a 160acre site near Anaheim in 1953. Construction began in 1954 and the park was unveiled during a special televised press event on the ABC Television Network on July 17, 1955.Since its opening, Disneyland has undergone a number of expansions and major renovations, including the addition of New Orleans Square in 1966, Bear Country (now Critter Country) in 1972, Mickey's Toontown in 1993, and the forthcoming Star Wars Land. Opened in 2001, Disney California Adventure Park was built on the site of Disneyland's original parking lot.
Star Tours was a motion simulator attraction at several Disney theme parks, based on the successful Star Wars film series created by George Lucas. Set in the Star Wars universe, the attraction sent guests on a excursion trip to Endor, whilst being caught in an altercation between the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire. The attraction featured Captain "Rex" RX-24 along with series regulars, R2-D2 and C-3PO.At its debut at Disneyland in 1987, it was the first attraction based on a non-Disney licensed intellectual property. The first incarnation of the ride appeared in Tomorrowland at Disneyland in 1987, replacing the previous attraction, Adventure Thru Inner Space. The attraction had subsequent openings at Tokyo Disneyland, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Disneyland Paris.The attraction at Disneyland and Disney's Hollywood Studios closed in 2010 to allow conversion for its successor attraction, Star Tours – The Adventures Continue. The latter location was completed on May 20, 2011. Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Paris closed their versions for conversion in 2012 and 2016, marking the original ride's final run of 29 years.
Radiator Springs è il luogo primario di Cars. Situato nella "Contea di Carburetor", alle porte do "Ornament Valley", Radiator Springs è un lungo sulla Route 66 che è stata notevolmente dimenticata da quando fu costruita l' Interstate 40. Tuttavia, con gli eventi del film, la città è tornata in voga, grazie a Saetta McQueen STORIA DELLA CITTÀ Radiator Springs è stata fondata da una macchina di nome Stanley il 9 maggio 1909, e una statua di lui è fuori dal tribunale della città. Stanley, che vendeva tappi per radiatori a "Ornament Valley, trovò un'oasi di acqua. Ci trovò anche nuovi clienti, così decise di costruire una città lì. Chiamò la città "Radiator Springs". Più tardi, Stanley sposò Lizzie . Dopo la morte di Stanley, sempre più persone sono venute a vivere a Radiator Springs, e la città è cresciuta. Era una zona di riposo popolare dove quasi tutte le auto si fermavano per fare shopping e riempire il loro serbatoi. Tuttavia, nel primi anni del 1960, Interstate 40 è stata costruita nei pressi di Radiator Springs, che ha notevolmente diminuito il traffico di Radiator Springs, dal momento che la Interstate ha bypassato la città. Infine, nella metà degli anni 1980, la Route 66 è stato dismesso. Nel 2006, la famosa macchina da corsa Saetta McQueen ha distrutto strada principale della città, per arrivare in fretta a una corsa della Piston Cup, a Los Angeles in California, ed è stato arrestato per cinque giorni per aggiustare la strada. Ben presto divenne amico del popolo Radiator Springs, e dopo la sua gara, ha istituito una sede da corsa in città, e la città ha ripreso a crescere.
