The Barnstormer at Goofy's Wiseacre Farm

The Barnstormer at Goofy's Wiseacre Farm (aka Goofy Roller Coaster) is a small roller coaster in Mickey's Toontown Fair at the Magic Kingdom at the Walt Disney World Resort.

Story

The small thrill ride in Mickey's Toontown Fair is a roller coaster found at Goofy's Wiseacre Farm. The story behind this ride is that guests fly in Goofy's homemade airplane as it swoops, twists and turns and then gets going to full speed into a barn full of Audio-Animatronic chickens. This seems to be an airplane school taught by Goofy.

Trivia

• The barn in the ride was actually the barn which housed the petting zoo that previously occupied the site.
• Before the rollercoaster was built existed a petting zoo named Grandma Duck's Petting Farm. This zoo used to be home to Minnie Moo, a holstein cow that was famous due to it having a hidden mickey on its side. She was moved to Fort Wilderness after the Barnstormer was built. Minnie Moo died in 2001 from natural causes.
• The chickens found in the barn were once part of the now defunct World of Motion attraction at Epcot.
• The ride is one of three at American Disney parks (along with Grizzly River Run at Disney's California Adventure and Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at Disney's Hollywood Studios) taking its name from former attractions at the now-defunct Opryland USA theme park in Nashville, Tennessee. At Opryland, "The Barnstormer" was an elevated carousel ride featuring suspended airplanes.
• This ride contains a Hidden Mickey. In the line, by the "popcorn plants" you will see a mess of wires. These form to make 3 circles, two ears and a face.
