When Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin reopened last week, fans discovered a noticeable change to the 32-year-old attraction. Though “Lenny the Cab” still has a steering wheel, the wheel no longer seems to spin the ride vehicle as it previously did. Instead, some riders are reporting the ride vehicle now moves and spins on its own through much of the ride, much like the Doombuggy in the Haunted Mansion moves to focus the rider’s attention on a specific scene. Further, photos show the steering wheel has been redecorated to remove the directional arrows which prompted the rider to spin the wheel.
A Disneyland spokesperson confirmed the change, telling MousePlanet “we continually make updates to our attractions based on a variety of factors, including guest behavior and feedback.” They pointed out one additional change to the attraction, saying, “we are now able to offer lap sitting for our younger guests on Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin, by making modifications to the steering wheel component of the attraction. This update is part of an effort to mitigate unexpected down times on this attraction and this will allow for more guests to ride the attraction and a better overall guest experience.”
Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin has no height requirement, though smaller riders are children under age 7 must be accompanied by a person 14 years or older.
