The Barnstormer (Great Goofini)


Description from PassPorter's Walt Disney World Guidebook:

Even grown-up coaster fans love this fast, swooping “flight” featuring The Great Goofini, a barnstorming pilot who came to town with Dumbo’s Circus. This attraction was re-themed during the Fantasyland expansion. Long lines move quickly through an uncovered queue, but take time to enjoy the Goofy artifacts. Cars may be small for big/tall adults. May close during wet weather. Transfer from wheelchair. Alex’s ToddlerTip: “I like Goofy’s plane!”

Though my five year old is tall enough to ride it he is thin, and when I ride with him (im kinda of tall) the lap belt doesnt come down far enough to keep him in and i have to hold onto him to keep him him from sliding down under the bar

Though it's been a couple of years since I've been on, I remember it as a fun ride.

Short ride, but enjoyable for young kids.

A fun little coaster but they ride is over way too quickly.
Dopey Girl gave this a rating of 6 on 06/20/2016 at 6:12:47 pm EDT

Great ride for younger kids. Wish it were a little longer - maybe run folks through twice.

Ride way too short.

Fun but the ride is really short
gances gave this a rating of 7 on 06/15/2016 at 10:36:11 am EDT

The line can be really hot and the ride is way too short. We will only ride this if there is no line and we have free time. Not worth going out of our way for.
EvaKi gave this a rating of 5 on 06/14/2016 at 11:11:07 am EDT

It's cute, but it's way too short.
WHMom gave this a rating of 5 on 06/14/2016 at 7:59:28 am EDT

A great starter roller coaster since it's super short. Our 4yo battle screamed through the whole thing but then talked of nothing else the whole trip and recalls it as his favorite ride.

Kids like this ride!

First coaster for my youngest two grandkids. Love it!

Wish it was longer

Wish the ride was longer in duration. Fun roller coaster for younger children

Fantastic coaster for the little ones.
Urbss gave this a rating of 8 on 06/05/2016 at 6:08:32 pm EDT

Great starter coaster for younger kids who are not big enough to go on the more exciting coasters.

Fun for a minute!

A fun roller coaster for the whole family!

Child's coaster, but fun for "big kids" too!

Too young for my family

Great first coaster experience! Too short though.

You blink and it's over. A great first roller coaster for the little ones!
MayraLR gave this a rating of 6 on 05/27/2016 at 11:32:49 am EDT

Fun for young and old.
CEK40 gave this a rating of 7 on 05/27/2016 at 9:07:37 am EDT

A great "tester" roller coaster to see if your kid can hankle some of the bigger ones. It's fasy, but even if they hate it, it's over so quickly, they barely have time to scream.
MmichelleM gave this a rating of 8 on 05/27/2016 at 7:28:26 am EDT

Good for a quick thrill fix little ones and fun for adults too.
Ms. Earson gave this a rating of 7 on 05/27/2016 at 12:19:20 am EDT

Loads of fun for youngsters and even as an adult, I still scream at least once.
sherrymickey gave this a rating of 9 on 05/26/2016 at 11:49:58 pm EDT

Disney had trouble keeping it running while we were there.
Big G gave this a rating of 6 on 05/26/2016 at 11:06:02 pm EDT

Fun for small fries so they can feel like a big kid on a coaster. :)
