Some of you may be curious as to why Casey Jr. Circus Train is in a video compilation about Disneyland Roller Coasters. Believe it or not, Casey Jr. Circus Train was originally designed to be a roller coaster. It’s the only attraction that has no safety restraints while also having upstoppers to prevent the cars from flying up during the ride. The current ride is a compromise between what Walt wanted and what was possible at the time. Walt wanted a high speed train ride that could take turns and humps extremely fast, in other words, he wanted a sort of roller coaster. The version in Disneyland Paris is the fully realized version of what was supposed to be at Disneyland.
Dunno if I mentioned it before, but Matterhorn and Goofy's Sky school are the only rides I got hurt during the ride; Matterhorn because the new seats are not that comfortable for a tall guy like me (6'4" tall BTW) and it roughed my back a bit at the end of the ride. For Goofy one of the turns at 42:12 caused my left knee to hit the lap bar hard, leaving it numb for the remainder of the day. I just toughed it out and moved on from both.
In Disneyland, Anaheim, Casey Jr. Circus Train is not a roller coaster. It's a miniature train ride. In Disneyland Paris, it's a powered roller coaster.

@@LMGVids I'm very aware of the history or Casey Jr. Circus train and what it was intended to be. I've been going to Disneyland for over sixty years (first time in 1962) and have most if not all the various Disneyland history books. It is also not listed in the RCDB (Roller Coaster Database) with other Disney roller coasters. It doesn't meet the technical requirements to be listed as a roller coaster even though it possesses some of the characteristics of a roller coaster.

Yoo, what is your favorite roller coaster at Disneyland!
Its too bad this version of the train still uses a diesel engine instead of an electric system - perhaps battery power that racharges at the station?
Hiiii🎉
Big Thunder, Matterhorn and Space Mountain are must-rides for any classic Disney park Credit-Earner
It would have been cool if you did a side-by side video for bobsleds, as if the two sides were racing each other
6 hours late only🎉🎉🎉🎉
