The Red Car Trolley was a 3 ft 3+3⁄8 in (1,000 mm) meter gauge tramway and transportation attraction at Disney California Adventure at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California.[1] Construction began on January 4, 2010, and the attraction opened on June 15, 2012, as part of the re-dedication of the park.[2][3] The attraction featured cars inspired by the Pacific Electric Railway's "Red Cars" that once traversed much of Southern California. It provided transportation between the park's main entry at Buena Vista Street and Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood Land.[4]
In August 2024, it was announced that the Red Car Trolley would close in early 2025 as the backstage trolley barn will be removed to make way for expansion plans for Avengers Campus.[5][6][7] In December 2024, it was announced that the final day of operation for the attraction would be February 8, 2025.[8] A trolley will remain parked on Buena Vista Street for photo opportunities.[9]
