    Default Goofy's Barnstormer

    I've never been on Goofy's Barnstormer.. in fact, I've only walked through Mickey's Toontown Fair once or twice (my dad thinks its dumb) I'm just wondering, (a) can 2 adults go on this ""kiddie" ride alone without looking odd and (b) is it any fun? (Keeping in mind that BTMRR is the scariest rollercoaster I can handle and still enjoy)

    I've done it ... and if I looked odd, I didn't care!

    It's very short, but it's fun.

    And, like the rest of Toontown Fair, there are lots of silly gags in the queue and on the load platform, which are at least good for a chuckle.

    Yes! Adults can go on anything...this is Disney World

    I'm the same way, I hate super-scary rides and have fun on the kiddie rides now and then!

    We always go on it! The kids up front then the bigger kids(us) in the back!

    There are always adults riding without kids.

    There's no age limit, adults go on all the time. With or without kids. You get adults going on their own to meet Mickey so I guess anything goes when it comes to the rollercoasters.

    My dad has always come on the Barnstormer with us. When we get to Magic kingdom we take the train straight to Mickey's Toontown Fair and after our look around we start our rollercoasting adventures with the Barnstormer. When we went first time (1998) my mum joined us on the Barnstormer, she doesn't like rollercoasters but thought "It's a kids ride, how bad can it be?" She hasn't been on since.

    Definitely worth a go when you're in toontown, a fast ride and a lot of fun.

    My "BIG" kids rode it over and over with out being escorted by younger siblings. They were 17 and had a BLAST on that coaster. Ride it, enjoy it, remember the great memory.

    In August we went on Barnstormer for the first time. My mom isn't too big on roller coasters, but she wanted to give them a try, so I suggested Barnstormer, since it is more gentle than any other. My mom and I fit in a seat together, a little squished, but it was no big deal. The ride is really short, but fun. After, my mom said she liked it and now wants to try more rollercoasters.

    Adults are NOT allowed in DIsney World. If you are an adult, dont even bother trying to buy tickets.

    I went on with my mom once, I really enjoyed that ride. I'm 15 and I firmly believe that everyone at disney is a kid at heart.
    I love the Jonas Brothers!

    Even though it's a short ride it's fun. I was pleasantly suprised when I rode it with DS. I will gladly ride it again. I'd evven ride it without my children.

    The ride is short. Really short. "Was that all?" short.

    My favorite roller coaster!! Now that I have said that I confess... I don't like roller coasters. The Barnstormer is just my speed. Not too fast and not too long but I can say I rode one.
    Ride it and have a great time!!!

    I agree completely. I love this ride. It is very short, but the leadup to the ride is brilliant.
    Officially too many trips to list here!

    Even though my DDs are getting older, they still like to ride BarnStormer and we all ride together. My DDs ride in one seat and my DW and I ride in another. It’s all fun.

    If you are an adult, you need not be accompanied by a child to ride it. As an adult, I've ridden it by myself. Actually, it's the only roller coaster at Walt Disney World I can ride. The rest make me sick to my stomach.
