Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue!, Dark ride in Disney California Adventure, United States
Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue! is a dark ride at Disney California Adventure, California, United States that moves guests through indoor spaces in four-seat taxis. The route passes several rooms with animated figures, lights, and projections telling the story of the two main characters bringing a child home.
The ride opened on January 23, 2006, after a preview from December 20, 2005, replacing the Superstar Limo attraction that had operated from 2001 to 2002. Walt Disney Imagineering designed it on the former ride's track, and the adjacent area was renovated and planted with trees for the opening.
The vehicles pass through scenes featuring doors, factories, and scream stations based on the film's energy-harvesting concepts. These elements show what a monster world would look like if screams and laughter powered it.
The ride lasts about three minutes and has no minimum height requirement, so families with young children can board. Wait times are usually shorter than at other major attractions in the park, especially in the morning.
Some walls inside display colored lights that mimic Randall's chameleon-like camouflage, while the character appears to float through illusion effects. These techniques make characters appear in locations where no physical objects exist.
