From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
