Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue!
About this ride
Guests board Harryhausen's taxi cabs and roll through scenes depicting the frantic climax of Monsters, Inc. The scenes feature well-crafted representations of the film's main characters, and the Monsters, Inc. city backdrop is detailed and faithfully realized.
Best time to ride
Midday or afternoon — rarely a significant wait. Good as a comfortable air-conditioned break during the hottest part of the day.
Insider tips
- Spot Boo in different scenes throughout the ride — she pops up in unexpected places.
- Look for 23-19 references (the CDA code for a child in the monster world) hidden throughout.
- A great air-conditioned escape on hot DCA days.
- Fans of the film will appreciate how faithfully the key scenes are adapted.

Mateo's Take
A solid, warm dark ride that rewards Monsters, Inc. fans particularly. Not a must-do on a tight schedule, but a genuinely pleasant experience with no wait on slower days.
