I rode Radiator Springs Racers 30 times. While I did it, I tracked EVERYTHING. And in the process I learned quite a lot about how to best enjoy this fan favorite attraction. It's the most popular attraction in the entire Disneyland Resort, and thus the most competitive.
We'll show you how to master it.
When to ride. When not to ride. What should you expect at any give time of the day. Are there any secrets or hacks? We've got the answers.
It's the most important video you can watch if you want to ride Radiator Springs Racers.

I wanted to take a second to say I really appreciate the time, effort & research you put into these videos.

@FreshBakedDisney Ай бұрын

Thank you :)

@phillipconklin9961 Ай бұрын

Single rider with a partner is the way to go. Not only is it faster but it gives an opportunity to race your partner in a different car toward the end of the ride. Fun to shout and holler at them.

I once watched a lady in the Single Rider line SCREAMING at the dad and little girl behind her that they “shouldn’t” be in the line because they weren’t “real” single riders. People are so exhausting.

I had a CM tell my wife and I "I'll let you go together this time, but in the future this is for single rider" not quite understanding that we are ok with being split up.

My husband and I both rode Radiator Springs using single rider in early July mid-morning. We went one at a time while our daughter napped in her stroller so one of us could watch her. I timed the wait to get onto the ride and it was just over 9 minutes when I was in the queue. For my husband it seemed faster (he went 2nd), but we didn’t time it. Single rider is the way to go!

Thanks for the analysis. Awesome as always. We agree and love single rider at radiator springs. We have done it even when our kids were younger. One morning years ago, we rope dropped it and rode it twice in a row through single rider. We had both rides completed in 40 or 45 minutes!

We rode Radiator Springs in November in the evening. The wait was 2 hours so we bought the lightening lane. It was worth it. The ride stopped momentarily so when it resumed, they were letting the lightening lane go first. When we left the most fabulous ride in the world, can you tell it's my favorite ride ever, the wait was now 3 hours.

@kyleallen438 Ай бұрын

Thank you Dave, good video. This used to be a family favorite since it opened and we could get a fast pass. Since you have to pay for fastpass we rarely ride the ride anymore. Hopefully you have a chance to do Matterhorn . Ever since this ride got Fastpass, the wait time is forever.

i love watching these vids. theyve really been helping me to plan out a route for the next time i go so i can get the most fun out of the time i have. i definitely thing a video about the matterhorn would be awesome since that one always has such a long wait time

We were there last week. Actually caught you in front the Peter Pan/Toad’s area on Friday. On Thursday, we roped dropped Radiator Springs. On and off the ride by 8:18 am. At 8:18 am, the wait time showed 80 min.

This was great information. We’ve been to Disneyland once a year for like the past 11 years and only gone on radiator springs once because the line is just too much. I just can’t convince myself to part with $80 to get us on the ride. Next time we go, I think I’ll try it again at night.

@alanstout7180 Ай бұрын

I appreciated your distinction of when to get out of line during a RSR breakdown and when to stay. I would love a video on breakdown strategies. You seem to know a lot about how long the average breakdown is on many of the rides, so advice on when to stay and when to leave would be awesome 😎

@Gael-qk5gw Ай бұрын

We need that Avengers E Ticket and the Avatar ride to take away some people from Radiator Springs. I can see it becoming a Space Mountain/Indiana Jones level of wait time where it’s mostly 45 minutes not the crazy 60-80 minutes that are the usual wait time for RSR

@arodz21 Ай бұрын

Ok for one of these 'Lab Tests', I would like you to try testing wait times for some of Disneyland's more popular attractions, i.e. Indiana Jones, Matterhorn, Big Thunder and Rise of the Resistance. BUT...only AFTER all these Ride Closures that will be happening in August. I'm going to be there in mid September but will only have about little more than half day inside the park. So I need to make the best of my time and I just get the feeling with so many closures, the other rides will suffer longer wait times than usual. I didn't include Haunted Mansion because if that has a Virtual Queue, it'll already be a nightmare. And by now, I can confidently say that I know Tiana's will NOT be ready by then.

David,... dude, you must have the patience of an oyster! The idea of waiting in those lines that many times just sends shivers up my spine. All the same, thanks for your time and research. It scares me of the idea of standing that long with my cane, and bad wheels, (left knee, right ankle). Its funny (almost) to see me try rope drop, with everyone almost running me over. Can you say human speedbump? Thanks again

@aaronsteele7585 Ай бұрын

We only visit on non early entry days and get to the park early as to be near the front of rope drop. We speed walk (not run) straight to RSR as long as it is open. We've never had longer than a 15 minute wait and many times the wait is only 5 minutes...this gives more time during the golden hour to do Guardians, Toy Story, or my daughters favorite the incredicoaster. In most cases we have got done with the 4 big rides by 10am riding standby

It’s more than ten years on now. The popularity of this ride is a tribute to imagineers of the time. My only quibble: is the backside of Cadillac mountain range still left unfinished? Or perhaps was it always meant to be like this? It’s kind of jarring when viewed outside the park (or, at least it used to be; I haven’t seen it in years). The view from corner of Harbor and Katella. Maybe it was always meant to show the artificial , cartoony nature of radiator springs? If so, then it would be perfectly fitting. I’ve always wondered, pondered. ;) Grateful for the ride. I remember the excitement of opening day fondly. 🎉❤😮

@larrykramer2761 Ай бұрын

We always do single rider on this ride. In fact, I have NEVER waited in the regular queue and I have been on this attraction probably 50 times.

I am so excited this dropped today! We will be there in about a week and I was hoping this would come out before we go! Thank you for the helpful information. Question about rope drop. Is there a way to tell if it is open at rope drop, or do you just have to wait until you walk down there?

@MoonFairy929 Ай бұрын

MMRRR is a super easy line. As David has said, the doorway is 45 mins. They seem to clear the queue when it breaks down so keep an eye on the tip board. People will linger waiting for it to reopen, but it’s such a high capacity loader that even with a full line it moves almost constantly. It was never worth individual lightening lane, besides, the queue is sooo cute, it’s a disadvantage to skip it.
