A Disneyland visitor reached 15,000 rides on Radiator Springs Racers on Monday, December 8, 2025, at Disney California Adventure in Anaheim, California. The milestone came more than ten years after the visitor first rode the attraction in 2012 following major surgeries. The attraction, based on a 2006 animated racing film, became an important personal goal as theme park visits resumed. Records showed that each ride was documented with details such as car color, lane, and race result. The total increased because the visitor went to the park more than 1,100 times.The 15,000th ride took place with park workers and acquaintances who had followed the visitor’s progress. The accomplishment showed that repeated visits to one attraction can create friendly connections in a theme park setting. Disneyland representatives stated that no official record exists for the most rides on this attraction. Guinness World Records confirmed that the category is not tracked. As a result, the achievement is personal but still widely recognized by the park community. The long-term effort demonstrated how theme parks can create a sense of belonging through consistent dedication for visitors.
