Description And Comments
Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride is a twisting, curving ride in the dark that passes two-dimensional sets and props. There are a couple of clever effects, but basically it’s at the technological basement of the Disney attraction mix. Though Mr. Toad doesn’t compare well with newer high-tech attractions, many Disneyland veterans appreciate it because it’s one of a handful of attractions remaining from the park’s beginning. Hannah, an official Touring Plans Stunt Kid™, summed the ride’s appeal up perfectly:
Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride is awesome, and everyone should go on it because it’s about a toad who goes to hell. I feel like that’s a neglected topic in theme parks these days.
Touring Tips
Lines build early in the day and never let up. Catch Mr. Toad before 11 a.m. Parents beware: There are some loud sound effects as well as a spooky “hell” scene at the end of the attraction.

Parents beware: Mr. Toad is not lighthearted dark ride a la Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh and there are some loud sound effects as well as a "hell" scene at the end of the attraction.
