Disneyland has reportedly filed a demolition permit for the beloved Red Trolley Car attraction, marking a significant change at the park. Established as part of the park’s rededication in 2012, this historic ride has served as an enchanting mode of transportation for guests exploring Disney California Adventure.

This shift comes as Disneyland gears up for the next phase of its development, particularly focused on the expansion of the Avengers Campus, which includes a brand-new ride.
