Join the Great Goofini at The Barnstormer for a high-flying ride over Storybook Circus. Fly on Goofy’s stunt plane as he performs his aerial stunt show.
The Great Goofini stars in a playful aerial stunt show at Storybook Circus. The Barnstormer is a short, energetic junior rollercoaster that sends guests soaring in Goofy’s stunt plane. Its gentle thrills and whimsical theme make it an ideal introduction to rollercoasters for young children and first-time riders.
This ride often gets described as a child’s first rollercoaster: it delivers just enough excitement without being intimidating, offering families a fun, quick experience that’s easy to enjoy between other attractions.
Location:
The Barnstormer sits in the back of Fantasyland within Storybook Circus and typically operates from park opening until close. You’ll find it across from Pete’s Silly Sideshow, with Casey Jr. Splash ‘N’ Soak Station located between them.
Lightning Lane:
Lightning Lane access is available for purchase through Disney’s Genie+ system in the Disney My Experience app. Because The Barnstormer is a short, family-focused coaster, its standby waits are often reasonable. Average wait times hover around 25 minutes but can approach an hour during peak days and seasonal crowds.
Height And Age:
Although designed as a junior coaster, The Barnstormer enforces a height requirement: riders must be at least 35 inches tall. This makes it a great option for young children who meet the minimum height and are ready for their first coaster experience.
Handicapped Accessibility:
The attraction provides accessibility accommodations. Guests who use wheelchairs or electric conveyance vehicles (ECVs) can travel to the ride entrance. Riders must be able to transfer from their mobility device into the ride vehicle. Disney’s Disability Access Service (DAS) is accepted for this attraction as well.
Ride Review:
The Barnstormer offers a short, lively ride built for younger guests and families. If children are hesitant about larger attractions like Big Thunder Mountain or Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, this coaster provides an excellent stepping stone. The layout is quick and spirited, packed with character-themed elements and plenty of Goofy charm.
