The Casey Jr. Circus Train is the name of a ridable railroad attraction found at Disneyland and a powered roller coaster attraction found at Disneyland Park (Paris). It is based on the train from Dumbo. This tour is similar to the one given on the slower paced Storybook Land Canal Boats, but does not incorporate narration.
Description
The original attraction at Disneyland was operating during the grand opening of Disneyland on July 17, 1955, but was closed the following day for safety testing and reopened on July 31, 1955. It gives passengers a tour of many miniature versions of scenes from Disney animated films.
Casey Jr. Circus Train at Disneyland Paris opened on March 20, 1994. Unlike its California counterpart, the Paris version is designed as a roller coaster for small children through Storybook Land, giving riders good views of the Storybook Land castle and other scenes that are not as visible from the Storybook Land Canal Boats.
The original 2 ft (610 mm) narrow gauge internal combustion-powered railroad version at Disneyland was manufactured by Arrow Development. The powered roller coaster version of the ride in Disneyland Paris was manufactured by Vekoma.
