Answer
Mr. Toad's Wild Ride
Answer
Mr. Toad's Wild Ride
The Disneyland dark ride based on the 1949 film “The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad” is Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.
The attraction follows J. Thaddeus Toad as he recklessly drives through the English countryside and London. Its source material is Disney’s adaptation of Kenneth Grahame’s 1908 novel The Wind in the Willows, one of the two stories in the 1949 animated package film.
Mr. Toad's Wild Ride opened with Disneyland on July 17, 1955, making it one of the park’s original attractions. The current Disneyland version opened in 1983. Riders travel in small motorcars and encounter a courtroom, a railway crash and a humorous depiction of hell.
A common mix-up is assuming the ride retells the film scene by scene. It does not: the attraction borrows its characters and setting but adds original ride-specific sequences, especially its surprising ending. It is also unrelated to Alice in Wonderland, Pinocchio's Daring Journey and Snow White's Enchanted Wish, which are other Fantasyland dark rides.
