Unfortunately, this classic Disney coaster will not be open for much longer, as Inside the Magic has just learned it will be closing for a refurbishment.

The closure will start on April 3, 2023, and continue indefinitely. The Disneyland calendar only goes through April 3, leaving us in the dark on when to expect the ride to open.

Of course, Guests can enjoy the rest of Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park in the meantime. There are so many adventures awaiting Guests at both Parks, especially with Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway being added to Mickey’s Toontown.

This high-tech trackless dark ride combines a ton of elements into an immersive experience. The ride first opened at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, replacing The Great Movie Ride, and has been a big hit ever since. We also just learned when the massive overhaul of Disneyland’s Pacific Wharf would be complete, with the entire area transforming into San Fransokyo, a city from Disney’s Big Her 6 (2014).
