A child doesn’t ever need to be taught about the devil and hell to be afraid when a big scary monster and fire appears and the ominous music starts playing.
Really? Grow up. The ride has always been that way if anything they turned it down a little bit I -Think-.
This definitely wasn’t a story worth writing about. Sucks to be the kid, but that’s the whole point of the ride. Quit writing BS that isn’t worth our time.
Judy: sorry if it looks like that reply was meant for you, this was my first comment. It wasn’t meant to be for you it was meant for a regular comment. If it appeared that way. Oops.
I love it but then I am old enough to remember the original cartoon,.. it’s my favorite cold weather ride. Maybe if they watch the movie it would make sense,
Millennials raising children. “Pure Horror”???? Had this parent seen the ending of any classic Disney animated film? Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, etc…. That poor child will not be ready for the true horrors of the world if their parents reinforce a Disnet Park ride as “Pure Horror”!!!!
The ride is hysterical. Was so sad when the took it out of FL. Glad to hear it still lives on in CA. You do have to use your imagination–you are Mr. Toad, so Mr. Toad goes to hell…kids have fantastic imaginations unless adults squelch it. The first time my mom and I road this, I was 15. We laughed so hard all the way through, including the end but I took my daughter on it every time we went.
Is this …. a what happened to ONE guest …reason enough to write a story about? I get how these ppl need to have attention and look at me and my kids/family how much fun/BS we had…I don’t need to know about everyone and when they get a Starbucks and the hit the bathroom…enough
Honestly, this site is more negative and here for sensational pot stirring than giving us real magic. I need to stop clicking their links because they are grasping at straws and there aint nothing nagical about that.
Mr toads wild ride is The Best ride In The World. Yeah it ends in hell. Uh No it’s Disneyland DUH! Take that child home and keep her there because if she’s having a hard time like that in Disneyland, wow.wait until she finds out where her cheese burger comes from. Hold on to your Mickey mouse ears.
I really wanted to use another word (probably the same one you were thinking of) but thought I would keep my post somewhat PG so it wouldn’t get blocked.
Haha these articles that are being written are hilarious! I rode this when I was a tiny kid and it never scared! Maybe cuz I grew up in the church and knew that There was a hell!
Pure horror is a bit over the top!! Like the kid that was scared in Bugs Life. My 2 year old’s favorite ride was and still is the Haunted Mansion. Maybe this kid should stay home.
this was disney’s intent: show kids that their parents will lie to them.
“oh, this will be fun! you remember mr. toad, right?”
joke’s on you, the ride ends like an original fairy tale moral, with a very strong message about what will happen to you if you drive like toad.
it’s a brilliant ride
This was my favorite ride at WDW even when I was 2yo! And going into Hell was my favorite part! Fortunately the mom said it was hilarious as well as horrifying seeing her daughter’s face. I’m sure her mom knew what was happening. The only one truly scared was the little girl.
maybe watch the movie? its a ride. sorry she got scared but it happens.. i love rise of the resisitance and had a horrific ending _The ride broke down and for someone like me its tramatizing. But i dont take to the local Tabloids about it.
Reaching a bit with the article…. One guest’s reaction – then don’t go on it. I was scared of rides when I was little and as an adult if there is a roller coaster that scares me I do this adult thing and don’t go on it.
Always loved riding it at WDW with my grandchildren who were younger than that girl and they loved it. Was one of the first rides they wanted to go on. We were all sad to see it leave. When we took them to Disneyland as teenagers it was one of the rides they couldn’t wait to ride. If they take her to church she would hear all about that place!
This isn’t a recent spin on the ride LMAO, I’m 23 years old and have been a Disneyland goer my whole life, that ride had always had the hell ending and I loved it as a kid. Y’all too sensitive to have a lil fright on a ride??
One of my favorites, but I made sure to warn my sensitive kiddo beforehand so it didn’t catch him off guard. I would recommend that if you’re doing any major theme park with a little one who might get scared, you should consider previewing rides on YouTube before you go.
It’s been that way since opening day. Live on the east coast now and miss that ride every time we go to WDW. but got to ride it again last spring when we were at DL.
It is supposed to be dark. While I do feel sorry for the girl, “dark rides” are supposed to be dark. I went it on as a kid, did not ever bother me. I asked to be let off during Big Thunder Mountain Railroad though, some of the other guests may have been a bit annoyed, but no one was mad. It was just too fast for me back then, I must have been six or seven.
I went on 20,000 Leagues under the Sea (submarine ride) though when I was a little older, and that giant squid scared me, but did I ever overreact to it. No. The ride that I thought was too dark for kids though was the ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter. Now THAT was pure terror for kids.
Sounds like it’s the article that’s blowing this out of proportion. Reading the direct quotes it sounds like they kinda thought it was funny that the kid was scared.
Oh my gosh Mr. Toad’s wild ride has always had a scary ending. Have her parents never been on the ride before? Snow white is scary also. Bunch of whiners.
Obviously someone who DIDN’T watch the movie! Yeah….the ride to Hell has been there since opening day…..in the winter it was great to heat up before going back out in the cold.
People really are looking for literally anything to be very publicly offended by in hopes of “internet fame.” Using your child as a way to garner buzz – YOU ARE A HORRIBLE PARENT.
I always love to take my mom to hell and it’s the best thing. Never can ride it with anyone else because she makes it such an experience. “How could you take me hell! It’s not my time yet!” Hilarious. Best ride t!
People need to stop saying stuff like “Grow up!” about this one. If you’ve never been on the ride before, the scene is definitely a bit surprising, and if you’re a little kid, of course a room filled with ominous music, red lighting, and the Devill might be scary! Kids react differently to different things. Some kids will think the scene is cool, others might find it scary. There’s no need to be so mean about a kid being scared by something. Honestly, you guys are the ones that need to grow up if you’re saying that crap!
That is one of my most favorite rides. I even bought Mr. Toad Chritmas ornaments. People need to lighten up. That rides been around since I was a kid. I couldn’t wait to ride it when I went to Disneyland a few years ago. Mr. Toad’s a keeper.
When I was a young child my parents took me on Mister Todd’s Wild Ride. All I remember, to this day, is thinking we were heading right for a train. I rember screaming and crying while ducking down behind the front of the ride.
Comments for Disney Guest Goes From Joy to “Pure Horror” After Discovering Attraction’s End
Tiffany
This ride is hilarious and ridiculous and 100% out of left field. I love it, lol.
Cassie
Poor baby,that ending hasbren there for decades. They actually turned the heat down
Bryan B
If you teach your child to be terrified of the devil and hell, and they are terrified of a cartoon devil and hell, that’s on you.

Thank you. Grew up in a non religious home and this ride terrified me.
Karen
I wrote it in DisneyWorld as a kid and thought it was great! I was never scared or had bad dreams after riding it.
Judy
Road it since it’s beginning. Iwas an adult the entire time but I always thought it was an awesome ride.

Welcome to the world of social media. People can post whatever they want and think it is ok with everybody.
Beth
Could you at least learn how to use words like “beheld” before you include them in published articles?
M. Abbott

Whatever
I haven’t been on it in years, because the line is always so long, but it doesn’t bother me one bit. Even going on it at the age of 9
Joshnyah
“Pure horror”? I wonder what they would think of the Haunted Mansion? This is the world now.
Ray
The guest is not always right. Don’t like the ride. Then don’t go on it again. Grow up karens
Kevin
Yet more proof of the wussification of our society spurred on by enabling helicopter parents. We are really doomed.
Walt
Did you really mean wussification? I was thinking of another word. You are however sir….correct.

Loved MTWR. I was sorry to see it removed from WDW.

Don’t let that kid see the Headless Horseman at the “Not So Scary” Halloween party, or consider going to Universal at that time!!
Leslie Brown
Pure horror is a bit over the top!! Like the kid that was scared in Bugs Life. My 2 year old’s favorite ride was and still is the Haunted Mansion. Maybe this kid should stay home.

Be glad she got to ride it! They removed it from Disney World years ago.

It’s a shame they removed this ride from Magic Kingdom and put a worthless meet & greet there instead
Jeanette
I think it’s the Winnie the Pooh attraction now. And, for a lot of people, “meet and greets” are not worthless. They are actually quite fun.

Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride is a lot less scarier than what it costs to enter a Disney park these days.

If you teach your child to be terrified of the devil and hell, and they are terrified of a cartoon devil and hell, that’s on you.

I’m sorry that you’re terrified that people have different beliefs than you.

Duping have a choice not to take your kid to Disney and you also have a choice to not ride the ride. Choose wisely! You know your kid!
