Let’s get a little spooky and head to Disney California Adventure to check out the Halloween Overlay known as Luigi’s Honkin’ Haul-O-Ween on this episode of Attraction Checklist.  Attraction audio recorded on September 21, 2023.

TRANSCRIPT:

Welcome to Attraction Checklist.

This episode we head to Disney California Adventure Park to ride Luigi’s Honkin’ Haul-O-Ween.

The Disneyland Resort website describes this attraction by saying: Celebrate Luigi’s favorite holiday at the honkin’est dance party in Radiator Screams!

Guests must be 32” or taller to ride this attraction and the Thrill Level calls it a Thrill Ride that is Loud with Spinning.

Before we join Luigi and Guido for some spooky fun, here are five fast facts about Luigi’s Honkin’ Haul-O-Ween

1. Starting in 2017, Cars Land at Disney California Adventure got a spooky makeover for the Halloween Season.  Radiator Springs becomes Radiator Screams.  Several of the attractions got a holiday overlay including Luigi’s Rollickin Roadsters which becomes Luigi’s Honkin’ Haul-O-Ween.

2. Luigi’s Casa Della Tires gets a halloween makeover including the leaning tower of tires which sports hubcaps and treads that look like eyes and mouths.

3. Despite the overlay, the attraction retains it’s ride time of approximately 2 minutes.

4. As of this episode’s audio recording which was done in 2023, one of five different songs played while the cards were in motion.  These are all parodies of traditional Italian songs given a spooky edge.  They include: Honkin’ Haul-O-Ween, Luigi the Hero, Haul-O-Ween Italiano, Chop Shop of Carsoli and Terror-Antella.

5. Disney released all the songs from the attraction in 2018 on an album called: Happy Haul-O-Ween from Cars Land: Spooky Songs From Mater and Luigi.  This album is available on most music streaming platforms.

Let’s ride Luigi’s Honkin’ Haul-O-Ween.  John B. deHaas is along for the fun and after we ride we’ll give you our thoughts on this attraction.  This is a binaural recording so if you have headphones put them on now as we experience Luigi’s Honkin’ Haul-O-Ween at Disney California Adventure.
