Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin

Of course, you are so familiar with Roger Rabbit, right? The lucrative and almost insane character of among Disney’s characters and cartoons. After they released “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” in the big screen, a real presentation of Roger Rabbit was built in the Disneyland theme park. Now, you can also see the crazy bunny out of the movie screen because Disneyland made him real. Now, the rabbit has its own land. You can visit his territory as well which is located at the Main Street, U.S.A. at Disneyland with a famous name Hollywoodland.

And because Mickey Mouse celebrated his sixtieth birthday, Disney made a recognizable place for him - where else but in the Disneyland. In the Magic Kingdom just behind the Fantasyland this new kingdom was made and it was named after Mickey Mouse - the Mickey’s Birthdayland. Roger Rabbit as well as Baby Herman and Judge Doom are some of the hilarious cartoon characters who welcomed the viewers of the new kingdom. Disney was planning a major extension of this land on Tokyo Disneyland and much closer to the Disney-MGM Studios. However, because of the financial disaster that happened to the Euro Disney Resort, the plan was postponed.

So instead of pursuing Hollywoodland, they combined both Mickey’s Birthdayland and the “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” concept and they formed Mickey’s Toontown in 1993. This was behind Disneyland’s Fantasyland. And in 1996, Mickey’s Birthdayland was re-opened and is now operating under the Mickey’s Toontown Fair. This was again cancelled but the same concept was built in Disneyland Tokyo. It was a replica of Mickey’s Toontown which opened last 1996.

Roger Rabbit also has his own land in Disneyland. The famous bunny land was called Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin. It is considered a dark ride and is located in Disneyland Anaheim in California. It is also found in Tokyo Disneyland and it is based in Urayasu, Chiba, Japan which is just a stone’s throw away from Tokyo. The ride which you will be experiencing is based from the movie “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” which was released in 1988.

These versions were all found at Mickey’s Toontown. In January 26, 1994, a new Disneyland version opened. This was also the year when Mickey’s Toontown opened. In Tokyo, Japan, a new version also opened last April 15, 1996.

So if you are one among the screaming fanatics of Roger Rabbit, why don’t you try visiting these amusement parks in the various locations of one and only Disneyland? The crazy rabbit is waiting for you there.
