California Screamin'Roller coasterMinimum height to ride: 48 inches DescriptionThis steel coaster (built to look wooden) offers up a 0-55 launch in four seconds, a 107-foot drop and a vertical loop around a Mickey Mouse logo. You'll also hear "surf guitar" music through an on-board soundtrack, a la "Space Mountain." This is the 6th longest coaster in the world, and 2nd longest steel coaster in the U.S. this coaster currently has a maximum of 5 cars running at one time. An on-ride camera lets guests take home a picture of their screaming on the ride. For a limited time in January 2007, to help increase attendance, the audio track for California Screamin' was temporarily replaced with a remix of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Around the World," and the attraction was renamed Rockin' California Screamin'. This was promoted with Rockin' Space Mountain, a similar change made to Space Mountain in Disneyland. These changes were part of the "Rockin' Both Parks" campaign. -- Last edited by Brandon Mendoza [Update this description | Read previous versions] Photos

I love this ride. The drops are great and so is the loop. It's worth a long wait in line because the ride is so good and lasts so long. - Erin : ) One of about five rides at California Adventure actually worth waiting for. It also usually has the shortest wait of those five, at around a half hour on most days. - AJ Hummel This is a proof that a coaster doesn't have to be extremely high or intense to make people want to ride it again and again. With satisfying duration, elements and its rocking soundtrack onboard, California Screamin' will blow your day away in the park (in a positive way of course). - Adriel Tjokrosaputro Another great Disney ride. California Screamin' mixes a long, smooth ride with drops and an inversion. The on board soundtrack greatly enhances this fun ride. Though the ride looks intimidating it is pure Disney genious and is a must ride for anybody meeting the height requirement. My favorite time of day to ride this is at night when Paradise Pier is lit up, and the scream tunnels inside the coaster are also flashing. An awesome experience that has long waits most of the time. The unthemed queue can hold about a 40 minute line before it is overflowed on the sidewalk near the ride causing congestion in that area of the park. I recommend using fastpass since this ride maintains long lines throughout the day. - Manny Barron This ride has a special place in my heart. It is the first real coaster my wife and 3 kids (13,10,6) went on. My wife did not want to go on this "thing". My oldest son said no way and my dautgher was too short. Yes! she said. My youngest son, said why not, dad said everything will be alright. I said this is Disney, they don't hurt you. So hand in hand we walked past Mickeys ears (the loop) and the coaster flew by and everyone on the ride YELLING for there lives. He stopped in his tracks and looked at me in the eye, "I am not going on that". Without hesitation I said "Don't worry, that is another ride". He looked at me and said ok lets go. We where staning in line for 15 minites, talking and enjoying each others company. We came to the cars and he was so excited. The cast member put on the harness on and the train turned the corner and stopped. He saw his mom, brother and sister on the side waving. He felt so Grown up. We heard a voice 5...4...3...2...1 BOOM we where off like a rocket, up the first hill and threw the ride. Things where going great, until he saw the loop coming up fast. The only words coming out of his 10 year old mouth "you liiiiiied", as we went threw the loop. We came out of it alive and he loved it. Screaming "lets do this again". At the end where they take your picture, he was smiling ear to ear and his eyes big as silver dollars. We exited the ride to see the picture and his mom, brother and little sister. He ran to them yelling I'm going again. This time mom and our 2 sons went on Scremer (that what he called it) and the rest is history. Well our daughter was tall enough the following year. She fell in love with Scremer. This memory of this ride always brings a large smile to my face. This is the perfect ride to me. - Erik Cobbs This was cool and worth the wait to get on. - Ben James A relaxing coaster. Smooth and fast enough. A great first "real" coaster for kids. - Bill Thelen Exactly what to expect from a Disney Coaster. Great fun, not painful to ride, and still a great thrill ride. It doesn't have to be the biggest, or tallest, but it does things right, even with only one inversion. Fits perfectly into the theme of the area. - Brandon Mendoza Really fun. It wasn't scary in the least bit (and usually I find scary roller coasters fun) But it was super fun. One of the best rides in the park. - Chloe ! This made the park...... Very fun and smooth ride.... The drops are what make this ride intense. The roll doesn't do much. The kids loved it. - Christopher Dowell |
