Much like the
vintage vehicles that travel up and down Main Street U.S.A. at Disneyland Park, these trolley cars add visual interest to California Adventure's entrance area. Modeled after the Pacific Electric Railway that served the Los Angeles area in the 1920s and 1930s (as seen in
Who Framed Roger Rabbit?), the trolleys boast authentic details like narrating conductors who share historical tidbits during your travels, retro-styled interior advertisements, and realistic overhead power lines -- un-electrified, as the new eco-friendly cars are actually battery-powered. More transportation than attraction, the Red Car Trolleys ferry guests on a one-way trip between
Buena Vista Street near the park entrance and the near the
Animation Building (on a one-way trip), making a stop in Carthay Circle along the way.
