Mad Tea Party is a spinning tea cup ride at the Disneyland, Magic Kingdom, Tokyo Disneyland, Disneyland Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland theme parks around the world. Located in Fantasyland, it is one of the few remaining attractions operational on Disneyland's opening day in 1955. The ride theme is from the Unbirthday Party scene of Disney's animated film version of the story Alice In Wonderland. The ride has gained infamy over the years for the amount of guests who get motion sickness as a result of the spinning part of the ride.

  • In Tokyo Disneyland, it is called Alice's Tea Party[1].
  • In Disneyland Paris, it is called Mad Hatter’s Tea Cups.
  • In Hong Kong Disneyland, it is called Mad Hatter Tea Cups


[edit] Attraction facts

  • Ride system: Three small turntables, which rotate counter clock-wise, each holding six teacups, within one large turntable, rotating clockwise
  • Restrictions: The original attraction at Disneyland is unable to run in the rain, once the turntables are saturated with a moderate amount of water they slip and can no longer spin. All other versions of this attraction at Magic Kingdom, Tokyo Disneyland and Hong Kong Disneyland are covered to prevent such situations, as well as protect riders from extreme heat and sun.
