Finally a Disney Guide with Dad-a-tude

The Barnstormer at Goofy's Wiseacre Farms

The Barnstormer at Goofy's Wiseacre Farms is the only "ride" in Mickey's Toontown Fair. It's also the smallest, slowest, smoothest roller coaster in all of Walt Disney World.

Kids get to hop on a crop duster (sometimes with Goofy) and buzz the corn fields of the Magic Kingdom. (Bet you didn't know there were corn fields in the Magic Kingdom.) It's a short little trip, but it's full of some of Disney's best work, especially the chickens that inhabit the barn.

This is a great ride for those kids that are too young to ride the big, bad roller coasters, but can't wait to get on one.

The Preshow

This ride is at the entrance of Mickey's ToonTown Fair. The line takes guest through cornfields, and past a scarecrow that looks like Goofy. Then guests amble through Goofy’s barn where they encounter clucking roosters and other visuals. Make sure to take note of the boxes some labeled “parts that fit” and others labeled “parts that don’t fit”. Fido’s Fearless Flight School schedule is on the wall and will give a great laugh.

The Attraction

THis is a kid sized roller coaster at Goofy’s Wiseacre Farm at Mickey’s Toontown Fair. Kids and adults ride together in crop-dusters. Guests over 45 inches tall must be accompanied by a child.

Hop aboard the "planes" and take off from Goofy’s barn. Along the way you will encounter all sorts of twist and turns as you fly through the fields. Make sure to avoid the clucking roosters.

Here's a short piece of video from the ride

Fun Facts

Here are some interesting tidbits -

  • The barn in the ride is there from the previous attraction.
  • The nearest bathroom is in Pete’s Garage just right across the street.
  • The ride is a Disneyfied version of a ride at the former Opryland USA by the same name. It was an elevated ride that featured airplanes.

History

Opened October 1, 1996. This area was a petting zoo formerly known as Grandma’s Duck Farm.

The Future

Most of Mickey's Toontown Fair will be torn down when Fantasyland is renovated and expanded. The Barnstormer will be the only survivor of the remodeling. Good call Disney.

Crowds

This ride generates long lines all day long. The best time to ride is early in the morning, late in the day or during parades.
