The Barnstormer at Goofy's Wiseacre Farm was a junior roller coaster in Mickey's Toontown Fair at the Magic Kingdom at the Walt Disney World Resort. The attraction closed in February of 2011. It will be replaced by The Great Goofini as part of the Fantasyland expansion currently in progress.

History

A petting zoo named Grandma Duck's Petting Farm previously occupied the site. This petting zoo was home to Minnie Moo, a holstein cow that was famous for having a Hidden Mickey on its side. She was moved to Fort Wilderness after the Barnstormer was built. Minnie Moo died in 1993 from natural causes. The barn which housed the petting zoo was integrated into this ride.

In 1996, The Barnstormer at Goofy's Wiseacre Farm was constructed and on October 1, it officially opened to the public. The attraction was one of three at American Disney parks (including Grizzly River Run at Disney's California Adventure and Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at Disney's Hollywood Studios) which took its name from former attractions at the now-defunct Opryland USA theme park in Nashville, Tennessee.

Mickey's Toontown Fair closed permanently in February of 2011 in order to make way for the expansion of Magic Kingdom's Fantasyland. Some elements of Mickey's Toontown Fair will be demolished and others will be re-themed to a new Storybook Circus area. The Barnstormer at Goofy's Wiseacre Farm is being re-themed to The Great Goofini. "The New Fantasyland will be constructed in phases with most new experiences open by 2013."

Story

The Barnstormer in Mickey's Toontown Fair was found at Goofy's Wiseacre Farm. It appeared to be an airplane school taught by Goofy. The story behind this ride included guests flying in Goofy's homemade airplane as it swooped, twisted and turned. It then went full speed into a barn. Inside the barn were Audio-Animatronic chickens from Epcot's former World of Motion attraction. The Barnstormer at Goofy's Wiseacre Farm was similar to Gadget's Go Coaster at Mickey's Toontown in Disneyland and Toontown in Tokyo Disneyland.

In the attraction's queue, near the "popcorn plants", guests could see a mess of wires which formed a Hidden Mickey.

Ride

Guests board one of two trains which each site 16 riders. The train is taken up a chain lift hill to a height of 9.1 metres (30 ft). 207 metres (679 feet) of twists, turns, and elevation changes follow, before the ride comes to a halt in the brake run. Riders will reach a top speed of 40.2 kilometres per hour (25.0 mph) on the one-minute ride.
