The Barnstormer wait times

What it is

A short junior roller coaster in Storybook Circus, starring Goofy as the Great Goofini. About a minute long: an ideal first coaster for small children.

Thrill level: ●●●●● Mild (2/5) · drops · must be 35 in (89 cm) or taller

Opened: 1996 (30 years ago)

Best time to ride

Quietest: around 8am (typically ~5 min posted). Busiest: around 6pm (~15 min). In the first 15 minutes after the park opens it typically posts ~5 min.

Typical means the median posted wait across every day in our log at that hour; crowd level, weather and breakdowns move it. For a specific date, the planner adjusts for that day’s forecast crowd.

Posted vs real wait

Disney’s posted waits run high. For The Barnstormer, a posted 60 minutes at 2pm has typically meant about 50 minutes in line, and at 8pm about 36 (from timed waits people recorded, 2015–2021 — before today’s Lightning Lane system, so treat it as an estimate). DisneyIQ shows both numbers on the live board.

Did you know?

It opened as Goofy's Barnstormer and was re-themed to the Great Goofini in 2012.
