Goofy's Sky School is asteelwild mouseroller coaster at the Paradise Gardens Park section ofDisney California Adventure inAnaheim, California. The ride is based on Disney's 1940 short filmGoofy's Glider. The rethemed attraction opened on July 1, 2011.
Goofy's Sky School originally opened on February 8, 2001, asMulholland Madness.[1] The attraction's original name came fromMulholland Drive inLos Angeles, California, named after the famed engineerWilliam Mulholland.[2] Within the first month of its operation, three accidents occurred on the ride causing it to be shut for a short period of time for repairs.[3] The ride vehicles were themed to the many cars one can find on the Southern California freeway systems, (such as Highway Patrol cars or Classic Surfer "Woodies"). At the end of the ride, a sign on the wall above read "Rental Car Return".[4][5]
In November 2004,Alamo Rent a Car became the new sponsor of Mulholland Madness.[6]
On October 12, 2010, Mulholland Madness closed for refurbishment and re-theming as part of Disney California Adventure Park's major refurbishment.[7] On July 1, 2011, the attraction reopened as Goofy's Sky School.[8] The attraction's re-opening was part of a series of moves in an effort to introduce Disney characters into Paradise Pier.[9]
Goofy's Sky School is a wild mouse roller coaster manufactured byMack Rides.[1] Riders board a plane and navigate a crash course of flying which features sharp turns, steep drops and sudden stops.Goofy is pictured onbillboards throughout the ride teaching guests the step-by-step process of flying a plane:
