Disneyland Rides and Attractions


Disneyland has almost 60 rides and a host of other attractions. It's easy to get overwhelmed when trying to decide which ones you want to do the most. And unfortunately, someone else's list of top rides or must-dos reflects their preferences, not yours. I'm here to help you figure out which things are best for you.
If you're the do-it-yourself type who would rather decide for yourself than let someone else do it for you, you can get a summary of height restrictions, FASTPASS rides and more, all on one page.
All you have to do is go straight to the Disneyland Rides List Page.
It isn't open yet - and may not until 2019 - but you can keep up with the latest news about Disneyland's new Star Wars Land in this preview guide.

Best Disneyland Rides for You

If you need some help picking and choosing, that's what I'm here for. If you think I have a bad case of Listmania, you might be right. I created lists based on some of the most common interests that can help you plan your perfect Disneyland day.
These lists sort out all the rides and attractions into groups that will meet your needs.
  • Best Disneyland Rides: These are the ones everybody loves, you could call this the "must-do" list.
  • Disneyland Rides for Kids: We've sorted them out into the very gentle, the slightly scary, ways to have fun while sitting still and thrown in cautions for specific rides that may help
  • New Disneyland Rides: If you've been to Disneyland before and want to know what's new, this list will tell you all the new developments in the past five years
  • Most Popular Disneyland Rides: You could also call this one "Rides With the Longest Lines." You're probably not going to go out looking to ride them all, but you might want to know which ones they are.
  • Disneyland Roller Coasters: Coaster and only coasters
  • Best Rides at Night: These rides are either more fun in the dark or worth a second visit after the sun goes down. Some rides close at night (or early), and they're also listed here
  • Disneyland Shows and Entertainment: They're not rides, but they're things to do that you might enjoy in between all the riding.
  • Walk Through Attractions at Disneyland: You can have a lot of fun at Disneyland without ever getting on a ride. All of these attractions are things you can walk through and enojy at your own pace.

Height Restrictions

These are all the rides that have height restrictions:
  • 35 in (89 cm): Gadget's Go Coaster, Matterhorn Bobsleds
  • 40 in (102 cm): Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, Star Tours
  • 46 in (117 cm): Indiana Jones Adventure
  • 54 in (137 cm): Autopia (to drive alone)

    Accessibility

    Most Disneyland rides are accessible even if you have mobility challenges. However, many of them require you to transfer into the ride vehicle by yourself or with assistance from your traveling companions. Only a few have steps you can't bypass, including Tarzan's Treehouse, the railroad station at Main Street, U.S.A. , and the Columbia Sailing Ship.
    If you have a hearing impairment, stop at Guest Relations (in City Hall, on your left as you enter Disneyland) to pick up assistive listening devices and handheld caption controls used for some rides.
    You can also stop at City Hall to get a pass that lets you bypass the long lines if you can't stand in them. You don't need a doctor's note, but you will be asked to explain what you need.
    Tuck and Roll's Drive'Em Buggies
    Tuck and Roll are the Hungarian pillbugs from the Bug's Life film. It may be a bit of a stretch, but they somehow inspired this bumper car ride.
    Adults complain about how slow the buggies are. Fans of the rough impacts of traditional bumper cars complain that the impacts are too soft. They also complain that the cars get into jams and it's hard to get out of them. In fact, the best thing about the ride may be the cute design of the cars, which look like the pillbugs it's named for.
    Most of them say it's best for younger children. However, with a minimum height of 36 inches, which would make it doable for the average three-year-old.

    How to Have More Fun on Tuck and Roll's Drive 'Em Buggies

    • Some riders complain that this ride is too slow. If you're a fast-paced kind of rider, you might want to skip it.
    • Tuck 'n' Roll is one of the rides at California Adventure that you can go on when rain closes the outdoor attractions.
    • Getting in and out of the cars may be hard if you have knee or back problems.
    • The ride vehicles have two pedals, in case your child wants to drive but can't reach their own pedal. They don't have brakes. Instead, you stop by taking the pressure off the gas pedal.

    Fun Facts About Tuck 'n' Roll's Drive 'Em Buggies


     ​Tuck 'n' Roll are pillbugs. You know, those little creepy-crawly critters that roll up into a ball for protection. In the Bug's Life film, their constant fighting and arguing gets them fired.
    Don't try to understand what they're saying. They talk all the time, but it's not a real language, just a bunch of sounds strung together to sound vaguely Slavic. The only English words they know are "Hey!", "Tweet-tweet! Tweet-tweet!", "You fired!" and "Charge-a!".
    Tuck 'n' Roll's ride is unique to the Disneyland Resort in California. None of their other parks have one like it.
