Hopping aboard for the grand circle tour is my favorite way to say hello to Disneyland.

Me and a group of my four friends went to DL in May and we were very thankful for this ride! Even though we are teenagers, we had a ball riding the train around and around to take a break from the big rides. We had fun playing truth-or-dare, and having two of us get off the train and try to get to the next depot before the train got there. :)

This is one of the best attractions you can find on Main Street since it has the Grand Canyon and Primeval World. This ride is a wonderful way to get around Disneyland

I love the train! especially the dinosaur part.

Very charming and original I think. Of course, I think everything in Disneyland is wonderful.

I love steam trains but I rate this a three for one reason: The dinosaurs between Tomorrowland and Main Street Station need repairs. They hardly move now. I checked old home movies and confirmed that they did in fact move a lot at one time. Not so anymore.

You should say its good for LITTLE kids.

User ID: brerwiseguy67   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (1/13/2006)
This is one of those rare dont miss rides that people can ride all day long like at Magic Kingdom some fat lazy ladies refused to move so I had to climb over them in Frontierland.

As a young adult, this ride is boring. but if you are real tired for the day and want to rest up for a bit then this is the perfect ride to just relax while still feel you're doing something productive around disneyland.

User ID: brer_rabbit91   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (9/5/2005)
This Disneyland classic is a calm and relaxing sanctuary from the hustle and bustle guests often face at Disneyland. Although the grand-circle tour is the full experience, most of that experience is from Tomorrowland to Main Street USA. From MSUSA-New Orleans Square is not much, but the New Orleans Square Station is nice to look at while other passengers are loading/unloading. NOS-MTT is an amazing view for the Rivers of America and the wildlife/Native Americans that surround it. Plus, it's great to go through Splash Mountain and watch a bunch of ex-America Singers telling you that everything is satisfactuall (however that's spelled). MTT-TL is great at first (who wouldn't love to go through iasw?) but loses its fun unless the Monorail goes near you. From TL-MSUSA, you are indoors most of the excursion. First you see a gorgeous diorama of the Grand Canyon (with the Grand Canyon music in the background), then the captivating Primeval World, which gets better with every viewing. This ride is great for those with tired legs and great patience.

*Remember - you get a much better experience if you're facing inside the park instead of forward.

My 8 year old niece loved the dinosaurs.

User ID: sandman   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (8/15/2005)
The DLRR has always been an automatic favorite of my family. During our last trip in august my wife prompted me to ask the conducter if we could ride up front with the puller and the firer. There is a seat for 2 persons, so my 3 year old son and I got a ride that I will never forget. If you get the chance I highly recomend it and tell Ron and Royce hi. They are two of the nicest CMs that you can meat.

Love this. It really sets the mood, and theme. Listening to the whistle blow while passing through the gate into the happiest place on earth. It's overwhelming!!

Great way to get the layout of the land

What a fun way to get around the park!!!! My husband and 5 sons loved it !!

User ID: wonderingalice   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (1/2/2005)
I've always loved the DLRR, but as my feet age, I truly appreciate it as a wonderful mode of transportation to different sections of the park, too.

This is a ride that should not be missed as long as it isnt very crowded. Its a great way to see Disneyland and you dont have to deal with the crowds either I recommend this one to everyone

User ID: Daynfatp   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (10/12/2004)
This attraction really sets the mood when you first walk in the gates of DL. Something you really learn to enjoy as you get older.

User ID: gaterrun11   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (9/10/2004)
The Disneyland Railroad is the perfect introduction to a perfect vacation at the Disneyland Resort. Some people find the technology boring and uninteresting, but it is one of my personal favorites at the park. From when you first board the train to Small World, from the Primieval World to the Splash Mountain glimpses, this is pure Disney magic at its best.

Great way to relax and get from one point to another!

User ID: freakout   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (6/14/2004)
It's a bit boring, but it's a fun ride for the whole family to enjoy... and rest your feet for a little.

User ID: Brer Doug   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (4/6/2004)
Just for the record Disneyland Railroad is a cool ride and all but they could liven it up with a few hills and fast turns and have some areas that show How Disneyland used to look as well. Still a cool ride

User ID: quincytoo   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (12/31/2003)
great way to get around DL and relax at the same time.

User ID: OC-Supertones4Life   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (8/19/2003)
Disneyland wouldn't be complete without a train ride! And to think Walt ran his trains on the same track.

User ID: run_steve_run   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (7/24/2003)
A classic ! It rules also because Walt was very fond of trains....

User ID: repeat   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (7/24/2003)
It wouldn't be Disneyland without it.

User ID: Mickstermom   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (7/24/2003)
A great place to relax between attractions and a good overview of DL, it could do with some updating.

User ID: nolan1951   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (7/22/2003)
Nostalgia at it's best. Feel like my first visit whenever I ride the DR&R

User ID: fzzybddy   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (7/18/2003)
It easily beats out WDW. The dioramas in the tunnel prior to Main Street Station make it the best.

User ID: Brer Puck   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (7/9/2003)
Sheer Disney nostalgia at it's best, as you enter the park you see before you Disneyland Railroad. At that precise moment it hits you, you're at Disneyland. Incredible view of the park itself while on board, and the Grand Canyon, Primeval World diorama is fun, not to mention a small glimpse inside Splash Mountain as well. Highly recommend!

User ID: Brer Doug   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (7/1/2003)
I often enjoy this wonderful ride due mainly to the Dinosaurs and the Grand Canyon Dioramas and the fact that I dont have to get out and walk. this is also a great way to enjoy the sights. My best experience was when I am able to sleep during the 20 minute round trip. Once we went and half of our group fell asleep I was also almost asleep but my Little Brother kept on waking me up showing me kids in Mickey Mouse hats and whatnot it really upset me to have him bug me.

User ID: jenn-d   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (6/6/2003)
I love the railroads at both Disneyland and WDW. However, I do have a spot in my heart for Disneyland's because I rode it first.

User ID: Lizardgirl12   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (6/1/2003)
This is great! Great way to take a load off, relax, and enjoy what Disneyland has to offer!

User ID: GHOSTHOST1313   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (5/22/2003)
I love this ride, the last time i was there it was Jan of 2001 and the power was out in New Orleans Square not to mention most of the park so i rode the train at least 20 times right thru Tommorowland to main street i loveit!!!!!!!!!

User ID: goodgirl   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (5/22/2003)
A Disneyland Original; a great method of transportation around the park.

User ID: run_steve_run   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (5/22/2003)
I love the train! It rules and the Primeval World is cool too! Although, I wish they would do something with the Grand Canyon, that is not as imaginative as the Dinosaur scene!

User ID: MAGNUM   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (5/5/2003)
I love riding the train, its one of my all time favorites. I was at WDW in April and rode the train around the park for a couple hours, Im heading to Disneyland in a couple weeks and plan on doing the same. It seems like i see something new each time around.

User ID: debtee   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (4/30/2003)
GREAT! It was the first thing we did when we arrived in Disneyland from Australia! It was wonderful to get a feel of the park's layout!

User ID: ufkufk   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (4/14/2003)
on my last night before we left we took a ride around the park at night.it was a great way to say goodby till next time . i realy injoy the train. disney i love you.my happy place forever

User ID: TellNoTales   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (3/24/2003)
This is what I like to during the middle of the day at Disneyland. The Primeval World, although hokey compared to the rest of the animatronics in the park, is still amusing. Bonus if you're on the E.P. Ripley: the first train in the park, previously owned by Walt himself.

User ID: Blue_Corsair   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (3/4/2003)
I love trains of any kind, so I'm a little biased. Nonetheless, if this is your first trip, take a full ride around the park - great way to get to know the place.

User ID: Day   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (2/18/2003)
When I was younger, this was the last thing I wanted to do. There was always so much more exciting stuff to do. Now that I'm a little older, I guess you could say I appriciate it more. It's a lovely, calming ride when you just need time to wind down and rest your feet.

User ID: rargirl   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (2/7/2003)
I love the Disneyland Railroad! Everytime I visit Disneyland, I have to ride it at least once, several times if my husband and friends let me! It makes me feel so nostalgic. I remember riding it as a little girl. I have always loved it. I remember when it was turned into "Mickey's Birthdayland Express". That year, my mom let me ride it many times! We still remember the Mickey's Birthdayland Express song. Sometimes I request her to sing it for me.

User ID: dizneegrrl   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (1/19/2003)
I love DRR, it is such a great way to start or end your day at DL. In the afternoon, it's a nice opportunity to enjoy the park, while taking a rest. At night, it's a wonderful culmination of your trip. It captures the spirit of Disneyland!!

User ID: tiggerules   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (12/7/2002)
i rode dlrr since i lived behind the backlot of disneyland before i moved then in 96 i got to ride up front with the engineer n fireman n i had a blast for a round trip

User ID: Dzznygrl   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (11/14/2002)
I LOVE The DRR!!

User ID: tianjin   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (7/22/2002)
OK, this may sound odd, but sometimes when I catch a wiff of disel it reminds me of the DL train. Great transport ride, and sometimes we would ride clear around once and then one station further just to rest tired feet.
I have always been a sucker for trains and this is a fun way to relax.

User ID: johnmuirburbank   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (6/19/2002)
Great ride if you want to rest. The scenery is cool, and the tunnels are, too. In a certain part in the ride (i forgot where) you can see a room where they are builkding and painting things.


User ID: surfdudedave   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (5/20/2002)
This is a classic. Great for a break, romantic trip or a cool experience for any child.

User ID: Brer Douga   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (4/10/2002)
To me the disneyland railroads panoaramic views of both the Grand canyon and The Primieval world adds a very nice touch to what is already a great disneyland attraction

User ID: Tiki Goddess   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (3/25/2002)
Wonderful for tired feet at the end of the day. I love going through Splash Mountain, Primeval World, and of course, the Grand Canyon!

Great way to travel in the morning before all the attractions are open

I must say the Pimevil and Grand Canyon thing is unexpected.

User ID: DanDSparks   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (4/9/2001)
My favorite ride! Loco #1 is a replica of the real Central Pacific #173- one of the most handsome locos ever built. Be sure to ask a conductor for a cab ride!

User ID: Jenn31   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (2/25/2001)
It's my favorite ride at the end of the day!

User ID: Scrooge2000   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (2/24/2001)
I've been a life long railroad and Disney fan. It's always fun just to sit back and relax on a steam locomotive and see the sites of Disneyland. Now that's the best part I personally think. It's an enjoyable ride.

User ID: WDWEC   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (2/24/2001)
classic, best late at night as the park clears out...take several 'laps'

User ID: oldgoofy   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (2/24/2001)
I look forward each time I go to DISNEYLAND to riding the train that Walt loved. It gives me a chance to enjoy an over all look at the park, sit back and relax and do some day dreaming about other great times I have had with my family at DISNEYLAND. I remember one day many years ago while riding the train both of my daughters said to us that one day they were going to work here. Both have completed college and are now working in the DCA building and having a great time. I will sometime ride it three or more times around and have a leisurely journey.

User ID: JenniBarra   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (2/24/2001)
What's great about the railroad is that you can use to get somewhere, but you can also just take a leisurely journey around the park. Sometimes, I ride one whole circuit, just to take it all in, and then go partway around again to get to my planned destination.

User ID: redlegtwo   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (2/24/2001)
A great way to relax and see parts of the park you don't get to normally see. It's also a great way to get to another area of the park when your feet are hurting.

User ID: charjean   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (2/24/2001)
What a great way to travel!

User ID: keletubbee   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (2/20/2001)
There's no better way to get around Disneyland when you're tired!

User ID: turbo   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (2/11/2001)
I love taking the train all the way around the park it helps me get my bearings and figure out what i want to do.

User ID: jrslater   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (2/4/2001)
A mainstay at the park, the only railroad at any amusement park that bothered with themeing (dinosaurs). A nice break from a long tired day I must say.

User ID: DoodleDuck   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (1/21/2001)
I have loved those 'Saurs' since the N.Y. Worlds Fair in '64'. We never miss this ride.

User ID: PirateChick   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (1/4/2001)
This is a kewl ride. I love going round trip so I can see the Primeval World and Grand Canyon. It is a good way to go around the park if you do not like walking.

User ID: rmallyon   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (12/10/2000)
It is a relaxing, gentle overview of the park. Great ride if you want to sit down and rest for a while. Grand Canyon is great!

Classic

User ID: KAT   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (10/30/2000)
Good ride when you're tired and just want to sit and enjoy the changing scenery. Usually take it once or 1 1/4 around.

User ID: ashermel   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (10/30/2000)
Would have given a rating of 4 if there was more themeing as well as an attempt to better discuise backstage elements as you travel on the Disneyland R/R. Still it's one of the best and most authentic attractions in Disneyland.

User ID: pmhartman   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (10/30/2000)
Wouldn't be Disneyland without it. I just wish that the Main Street station could be made wheelchair accesible. On the plus side, CM's are great about loading and unloading your chair for you!

User ID: jeremywilliams   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (10/30/2000)
Fun ride, good look at the park, bit of nostalgia for Walt


User ID: newrush   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (10/30/2000)
ya know....It's almost worth going on just to here whats left of Thurl Ravencroft's narration...

User ID: wdtv   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (10/15/2000)
The Walt Disney Railroad
is, in my opinion, the most
nostalgic attraction in
Disneyland Park. I'm a
HUGE DL Park fan and am
always very interested in
learning history of the
kindom. Walt's passion for
railroads and American
history was very deep.
Both of these are recognized
on a real 19th/early 20th
century Main Street. The
train station here is in
the early 20th century. As
a Guest in Walt's park, you
have the magical ability to
board a steam train (That
seems to be headed across
the US) during the early
1900's.
As soon as the trip begins,
you are transported to
various time periods. From
the early 1900's to a New
Orleans of more then 150
years ago... From traveling
forward to a futuristic
world in Tomorrowland to becoming living
cartoons in Toontown, one can literally
call this not only a
railroad, but a 15 minute
trip through America's
past.

I love this train....it takes my tired feet from one land to another! Ok....I think I saw the dinosaurs at least 500 times this past trip, but my feet really appreciated them!

User ID: lshimokaji   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (9/8/2000)
Is a great way to et to the back part of the park

Great ride to relax when your feet are killing you.

User ID: SirLamer   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (9/1/2000)
This is a great way to get around the park (new orleans to toon town is faster by train if the lines aren't bad.) You might think a train can hold a lot of people, but it seems that very few people actually get off, so the line is longer than it looks. Keep that in mind if you're planning to take the train in order to save time. Also, remember that the train goes around the park in a clockwise direction, so taking it from main street to tomorrowland probably would take longer than it would to walk it.

User ID: nikibee   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (9/1/2000)
It's the first thing we ride when we go to the Park. It's great!

The Disneyland RR was the first thing I use to get on and ride to Toontown, my favorite land

User ID: Futurist   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (6/25/2000)
A Classic! A staple Disneyland Attraction we never have to worry about being dismantled. And being the only Magic Kingdom with 2 intriguing dioramas makes it extra special.

User ID: RBennett   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (6/25/2000)
Nice ride. Relaxing way to see the Park. Love the dinosaurs.

Hey, this ain't bad! More interesting sites than WDW, though the lines can be horrendous.

After a long day of standing on your feet waiting in line, why don't you kick back, relax, and enjoy the ride. I still enjoy seeing those dinos!!!

User ID: Phillip   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (6/25/2000)
A great way to see the Park, or get from one land to the next. The Grand Canyon diorama and primeval world scenes are beautiful.

User ID: hartelmd   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (6/25/2000)
Nice relaxing ride...Should add a few more things to look at.

User ID: GruntKLH   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (6/25/2000)
All time Classic...Walt Would have been happy with the way that the ride has evolved. He would love the section going through Splash mountain. The diaorama's need an update, though.

User ID: Tiggers Kid   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (6/25/2000)
I thought that the railroad is a cool attraction and transportation, I especially like the dinosaurs.

User ID: Tinkermama   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (6/25/2000)
A nostalgic trip on an old steam train, plus you get to view the Grand Canyon and long extinct dinosaurs...too cool. :o)

Great ride, Love all the sounds and the Narrators voice brings me from Kansas to Dinseyland in a flash!

User ID: smee3469   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (6/25/2000)
Definitely a nice way to gt around the park, and a great way to wind down the nightm wen taking it back to Mian Street to leave the park.

User ID: MouseEars   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (6/25/2000)
A great nostalgic attraction! I had a chance to ride in Walt's caboose, the Lilly Belle, and every time I ride it, I get the feeling Walt's enthusiasm for this attraction! The dioramas are great too! Plus with Tony the Tiger's voice as the narrator, the Disneyland Railroad is Grr-reat!

User ID: Futurist   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (6/20/2000)
Since this is a Main Street Attraction I'll just comment on the Station: The new color scheme, and additional fabrication give this station a big boost. It reminds me of Discoveryland's style of a future from an 1870s point of view.

User ID: Theresa Ludwig   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (6/19/2000)
I look forward to the music of the Grand Canyon and seeing the dinosaurs!!!

User ID: luvdopey   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (6/19/2000)
A true classic and one of my all-time favorites!

User ID: Kerrie   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (5/31/2000)
It's relaxing, and I love just having some "quiet time" as I ride around the park and people watch. The cast members are nothing but friendly. I love the smell of the steam engine, love the sound of the bell as the train pulls into the station with the echoing "Your attention please..." speil. And of course, Thurl Ravenscroft's narration is just soothing and comforting.

The Disneyland Railroad is so enjoyable for me! It is a nice quiet relaxing ride when you are very tired!

Love the ride, but the animals in the Grand Canyon Diorama are in need of some new hide!

Walt's personal legacy of steam-powered railroading at DL remains one of the durable reminders of his footprints on our hearts.

The train is very relaxing and tradition. Each time I ride the train I think of Walt and his love of trains.

Very warm, and relaxing. Just right after a hectic day running to the rides. Not really ever long lines. The best thing is thecast never makes you get off of it. Good for taking home movies, as the scenary is beautiful!

Dinos need updating to appear more like the latest scientific theory (physical appearance and movement)

A Great way to relax! Sit back and experience what travel was.
Disney is preserving the past with these steam wonders!! It's not a trip to the park unless I get on board and ride the rails !!

A Disneyland tradition .. very nostalgic, especially if your familiar with Walt's love of trains.

Love the train, but could do without the Dinosaurs!

The Railroad is a great place to simultaneously be a participant and a spectator of the park.

User ID: CheshireCat   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (4/24/2000)
needs alittle updatind, but still a good way to get around after walking all day. and a nice thing just to ride around on when you get tired of stuff.

Provides a relaxing orientation to the park, and as a bonus you can see the historic Primeval World set originally created for the 1964 New York World's Fair.

User ID: StarTourist   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (4/24/2000)
You can relax, and see the park from a different point of view! Love the dinosaurs with "issues" at the end of Primeval World!

User ID: sjdimon   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (4/24/2000)
Love the train! Especially the "panoramic" tour of the park that it provides. Also love the Dioramas and the "paradox" of the Train in "The world of Tomorrow!"

Best way to get around the Park, just avoid the Toon Town station.

User ID: disneyland buff   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (4/24/2000)
The train is one of the first things we do when we get to the park. It's a nice ride to see everything, and get you excited about your day at Disneyland.

It's a nice ride around the park!

User ID: Gregmh48   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (3/30/2000)
This ride is fun for your first time, but after that it becomes pretty boring because there is not much more to see. I still ride it as park tradition every time, though.

It is nice to relax on the train after a day of walking.

The gentle rolling and swaying of the Disneyland Railroad. It's a relaxing way to rest my weary feet for a while.

User ID: oldgoofy   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (3/15/2000)
It's great to take a break and just ride around the park a few times.

I love the railroad. Such an enchanting ride around the park and a quick way to get around.

User ID: Disneygirl   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (3/14/2000)
This is a great way to get from one end of the park to another when your feet just can't take another step!! Although I use a motorized scooter, when my husband's feet are killing him, this is his favorite way to get to the front of the park!

User ID: Linus   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (3/8/2000)
This gives a great way to see the whole park and sit down. It rules.

It's boring to wait for, but it's a good way to relax, and has cool scenery

User ID: Jennifer Frosty   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (1/20/2000)
a good attraction when you need some time to rest your feet. i spend one very tired evening on the train for almost 2 hours. see something different every time, and if it's not busy, they let you stay as long as you like.

Good way to get from Toontown back to Main Street or New Orleans Square

User ID: damon63   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (1/16/2000)
One of the park's few original attractions with a great history! Primieval World and The Grand Canyon are looking a little dated these days.

User ID: disneyfreak4099   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (1/16/2000)
Nice and Relaxing

The D-land Railroad offers a really neat look of Disneyland. It is especially fun seeing the backwoods of Frontierland.

User ID: GroovShel   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (1/8/2000)
I like it because it's not just a train. It's a ride it has the dinosaur and the Grand Caynon part. And its really nice to ride on to get from one place to another when you're really hot.

User ID: KAT   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (1/8/2000)
Once-and-a-half around the Park is very relaxing on a busy day.

When your feet are tired. This is the only way to get around.

A true Disneyland original; one of the last "Walt" attractions at the Park. Never get tired of the Disneyland Railroad!

User ID: Karma Boy   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (1/1/2000)
The Railroad is a great place to take a break from the action. Also, You can take a round trip on the Engine if you board at Main Street. Just ask if you can ride with the Engineers. However, you can't always do this.
