Trivia & Fun Facts

  • Casey Jr. – Le Petit Train du Cirque was the first roller coaster in the world to feature a synchronised on-board audio system. As Casey climbs the initial hill, “I think I can, I think I can..” plays, before the full “Casey Jr.” song begins with the downward descent. This successfully tested the concept for Imagineers before they put it to much greater use at Space Mountain in 1995.
  • Although technically classed as a roller coaster, the ride is infact powered throughout, unlike traditional coasters which operate through the forces of gravity. This allows for a more gentle and controlled family ride, and is the first and only time Disney has used this ride system. Like Space Mountain: Mission 2 and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith, it was manufactured to the Imagineers’ specifications by Dutch coaster company Vekoma.
  • This attraction and the whole of Storybook Land is based loosely on the area of the same name at Disneyland in California, where Storybook Land Canal Boats(opened 1956) is a Cast Member-guided motor boat tour past miniature scenes and Casey Jr. Circus Train (opened 1955) a traditional train ride.
  • Infact, Casey Jr. Circus Train in California was originally conceived as a low-speed roller coaster ride up and around the hills of Storybook Land, with several dips and climbs. Due to technical limitations at the time, however, it had to be scaled back to a simple miniature railway.
  • The attraction was added in 1994 as part of a rapid expansion programme to greatly increase the park’s attraction capacity.
