Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue!
Disney California Adventure Park · Hollywood Land
Overview
Guests ride Monstropolis taxis through scenes from Monsters, Inc., following Mike and Sulley as they try to sneak Boo back to her bedroom door before Randall can catch them. Boo's door and the film's door-factory finale appear near the end, and the ride's gentle pace and no-height-restriction access make it an easy add for mixed-age groups. It's a straightforward, well-executed family dark ride rather than a technical showcase, but the Monsters, Inc. theming holds up well for fans of the film.
ParksLog verdict
A solid, unpretentious family dark ride that does exactly what it sets out to do. It won't be the highlight of anyone's day, but it's dependable, air-conditioned, and works for nearly every age — a sensible fill-in between the park's bigger attractions.

Details
History
The ride opened in 2006 in the building that had previously housed Superstar Limo, a short-lived and poorly received attraction from DCA's original 2001 opening. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue! replaced it with a much more durable, well-liked family dark ride.
Fun facts
- The building previously housed Superstar Limo, one of DCA's least successful opening-day attractions, before this 2006 replacement.
- Riders travel in yellow Monstropolis taxis rather than generic ride cars.
- It opened in January 2006, after Superstar Limo lasted barely a year in the same building.
