Attraction at two Disney Parks
The
Casey Jr. Circus Train
is the name of a
ridable miniature railroad
attraction found at
Disneyland
and a
powered roller coaster
attraction found at
Disneyland Park (Paris)
. It is based on the train of the same name from the 1941 film
Dumbo
. This tour is similar to the one given on the slower paced
Storybook Land Canal Boats
, but does not incorporate narration.

The original attraction at Disneyland was operating during the grand opening of Disneyland on July 17, 1955, but was closed the following day for safety testing and reopened on July 31, 1955.

It gives passengers a tour of many miniature versions of scenes from Disney animated films.

Casey Jr. Circus Train at Disneyland Paris opened on March 20, 1994. Unlike its California counterpart, the Paris version is designed as a roller coaster for small children through Storybook Land, giving riders good views of the Storybook Land castle and other scenes that are not as visible from the Storybook Land Canal Boats.
