Incredicoaster, Steel roller coaster at Disney California Adventure Park, Anaheim, United States.
Incredicoaster is a steel launched roller coaster at Disney California Adventure in Anaheim, California. Its 6,072-foot (1,851 m) track reaches 55 mph (89 km/h) and includes a vertical loop shaped like Mickey Mouse's head, now a sunburst. The ride, designed by Werner Stengel and built by Intamin, uses linear induction motors instead of a chain lift. Tunnels enclose parts of the track to reduce noise for nearby residents.
Disney announced the ride in October 1998 as Surf City Wipeout, then renamed it California Screamin', a pun on "California Dreamin'", before it opened with the park on February 8, 2001. Designed by Werner Stengel and built by Intamin, it became the world's longest steel coaster with an inversion after Son of Beast's loop was removed in 2006. It closed on January 8, 2018, and reopened as Incredicoaster on June 23, 2018, with Pixar Pier.
The ride takes visitors on a chase as the Parr family searches for missing baby Jack-Jack, with music and sound effects from the film accompanying the journey. At night, the track lights up in shifting colors, and trains pass through illuminated tunnel sections with animated projections of film characters.
Riders need to measure at least 48 inches (122 centimeters) tall to experience this attraction, which operates with trains carrying 24 passengers each. Wait times are typically longest during late morning and early afternoon, while evening hours often offer shorter queues, especially after firework times.
The launch mechanism accelerates trains from zero to 55 miles per hour (88 kilometers per hour) within four seconds using a Linear Induction Motor system. The entire track structure required roughly 5.8 million pounds (2.6 million kilograms) of steel during construction and rises 120 feet (37 meters) above ground at its highest point.
