Tuck and Roll’s Drive ‘Em Buggies

This ride should be called «Pack a Bowl & Maintain, Boddhi.» Devastatingly slow bumper cars that pack the kinetic force of a Mylar balloon.
The Imagineers did a nice job here in Bugs Land, and this ride is no exception– the lighting and giant umbrella roof is cute, as is the insane music played for the duration of the ride.
To amuse myself, I let the kid drive, while standing on the throttle the whole time. Also, anytime someone comes close to us or – God help them – bumps us, I screams random expression at them in German and wave my arms around like I’m going to just lose it on them. «Der Käse schimmelig und grün!» or «Insulin! Ich brauche mein Insulin!» Of course, if a German national or speaker is the offending bumper pilot, and responds in German, is immediately switch to Japanese; «Watashiniha yoku megumare kaizokudesu!»
Better off sleeping on one of those Popsicle stick benches and let the kiddies enjoy this one while-​u-​wait.

Did this one for the kiddo. You need a young one for this ride. If you pick a car up against an obstacle. You better get back in line.

Fun ride, especially for the kids.
Minus one point for giving everyone those little red triangles for whatever reason, just to collect them right back once you choose your buggie.
Note: kids can drive alone in their own buggie if they want to… just watch out!

I know the target audience here is little kids, and my sons (3 and 4) like it, but I think it is the worst ride in the Bug Life area. The cars move slow and are kind of a pain to drive. Guaranteed you get into a jam, which would be fun (ish), except it take so long to get out of, because the cars move so slow, that you might not even get to enjoy the rest of the ride.
At least it is shaded and decorated cute.

Another Bug’s Life themed ride located within the Bug’s Land area of Disney’s CA Adventure. These are basically super super slow bumper cars fashioned after the pill bugs from the movie (Tuck and Roll).
I like that you can hear Tuck and Roll’s nonsensical chatter when you’re driving as it reminds me of the film and how funny they were even though you couldn’t understand what they were saying.
The driving part is difficult as the steering isn’t very responsive, and if you get bumped or wedged in it almost feels like your buggy senses this and stops and sometimes even puts you in reverse.
You should note that with all the kiddos behind the wheel you’re pretty much guaranteed to get stuck in a pill bug jam, so you might be stuck for a bit. And considering how short the ride is, that may suck.
The buggy has two gas pedals so that adults can push it if their kid driver can’t reach the pedal. I thought this ride was just ok, but my young son loves it as he gets so excited to drive the car all by himself. If the wait had been really long, I doubt I would have agreed to go on this, but since it was only 10 mins, I was sold. So all in all, it’s a good ride for the kiddos, and like all the Disney/​Pixar rides, impeccably detailed with the theming.

Really hard for an adult to help little kids drive these things. Difficult to shorten your leg enough, with the lap restraint, to totally gas it in any comfortable manner at all, especially when you have to keep on gassing-​it to keep going. Painful actually.

Bumper cars set to slow. As is everything in Disneyland, the ride itself is cute: the cars are bugs, the canopy above you and the decorations of chewed-​up things and crayons is fun, but considering how very slowly the cars go and that you’re all supposed to head in the same direction vs. battle it out however you want, I wish there were fewer cars, because everyone ends up in one big clump and then you’re REALLY not moving.
Two adults barely fit in one car, so this ride is definitely not meant for us. There are two pedals, which has gotta be more convenient than when I was little and my dad would take me on the Autopia and have to stretch his leg over to stomp the pedal so I could still steer (thanks Dad!), although it seemed like one pedal took us backwards! Which I liked, because then you could actually move away from wherever you got hit into. It didn’t seem like people were purposely bumping though, either. I realize we’re working on teaching kids to be less violent and «bumper» isn’t in this ride’s name, but c’mon. Ram into somebody.

To a child, this ride looks ahhh-​mayyy-​zing!
To an adult, all we see are the slowest bumper cars in the history of bumper cars.
Although it is meant to be a children’s attraction, there is a height limit of 36″. I wonder why it’s so high when Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree seems much more thrilling, and it’s height limit is 32″. Anyway, this attraction is okay. If the children like it, then all is good… because it’s not meant to be for adults.
I can still wish that they moved faster, though… right?

You have to remember that all the rides in A Bug’s Land are for really little kids. But even with those expectations set low this ride was a disappointment. These might be the slowest bumper cars I’ve ever been in. And, sometimes they wouldn’t move at all. When it did work, either the driver or passenger could press the accelerator pedal since there’s one on each side, making it easy for kid’s to steer while adults can sit on the passenger side.

Amongst my many reviews of food, I do also like to fit in the occasional review about some other things you can check into on Unilocal.
Tuck and Roll’s Drive ‘Em Buggies. This little ride is tucked away in the corner of Bug’s Land in Disney’s California Adventure. Honestly, I wouldn’t have known this little thing existed had it not been my friend and our random trip to Disneyland. In an attempt to check out some rides we probably wouldn’t usually hit, we ran across this little, cute ride.
BUMPER CARS! Oh man, it’s like being a kid again. Being a kid, you always dream of bumper cars at amusement parks. In the movies, it was like an amusement park staple. So it was about time Disneyland followed suit.
The cars, a bit slow, but heck, I think it’s truly intended for little kids. They even have TWO peddles, one for adults, and the other for kids. I tried out pressing both at the same time (because let’s face it, I’m short enough to reach both) to see if it would go any faster. Sadly, it didn’t, but it was definitely worth a try.
Definitely a ride you want to go on with a whole bunch of friends. That’ll make it WAY more enjoyable. It’s BUMPER CARS for goodness sakes.
I realized I may have overused the word «little» in this review. But it’s a bug ride, so I figure it fits.

This ride is alright for little kids. It is slow ride therefore making it safe for the youngens to «drive» them but this also creates a lonnnng line that slowly moves to your turn. If your kids are inpatient, do not ride this ride. Lucky for me my nephew (6yrs old) was patient enough because I told him I would let him drive it and allow him to bump into everyone he wanted. He had a blast needless to say but we did spend almost a whole hour in line on that one weekend to ride a 2 minute ride.

It amazes me at how strict the workers are on this ride specifically for the height requirement. My daughter is an inch or two above the height requirement, but they always double triple check her for this ride at the entrance as well as in the front of the line. Yes, we’re one of those people holding up your line getting checked.
The bug cars move so slow, especially with all of the traffic jams, so I don’t even see why they have the highest height requirement in Bug’s Land. Maybe for the children to reach the foot pedal?
Definitely not a favorite of mine, but definitely much more excited than Heimlich’s Chew Chew Train ride. That one’s a joke.

My son is 3 so he had fun chasing his father in the other cart. But as for as the «ride» goes, it’s very «slow» and does not last so long. Especially if there are too many «traffic jams» then it’s not so fun.
Good for small kids… not so much for bigger ones.

If these buggies went any slower, I’d say letting kids roll around in that ring would be faster (and way more fun). These «cars» are much slower than regular carnival bumper cars, so the plus is that you don’t have to worry about getting whiplash from the bratty kid that’s been giving you «the eye» the whole time.
The ride itself is all right, my 8 year old sister seemed entertained enough. The line was short enough that we didn’t feel disappointed afterwards.

Complaint: Needs to go faster. Wayyyyy faster… The speed is comparable to Autopia which is not ok in my book.
Other than that, I can take my cousins around in here and try to hit other people and scream out obscene things like «FOR NARNIA» and «DUMBLEDORE’S ARMY»
Wait time isn’t terrible but that’s pretty unfair for me to say since there’s hardly a line when we come here.

Bumper cars! What more could a small kid want?
Its a total chance to crash head on into other people.
Well, not really… this is Disney. So its more like a slow motion, very safe crash into the other person.
The buggies are totally cute… they look like little bugs but the ride itself always seems disappointing even to the little kids. This ride is nestled wayyyy in the back of A Bug’s Land… so it takes a little walking to get to.
The bumper cars are electric and are reallllly slow. To top it all off your total ride time is not very long… maybe 3 or 4 minutes so you don’t actually get to go around the track all that many times.
It is still a totally fun ride… just a little tame for even most of the smallest of the kids.
