Goofy's Sky School is a wild mouse roller coaster in Paradise Gardens Park at Disney California Adventure Park in Anaheim, California. It was built by Mack Rides and opened with the park on February 8, 2001, as Mulholland Madness, named for William Mulholland, builder of the Los Angeles Aqueduct. It reopened as Goofy's Sky School on July 1, 2011.
The current theme draws on Disney's 1940s and 1950s Goofy 'How To' cartoons, especially Goofy's Glider (1940): riders board a flight-training vehicle for a lesson that goes wrong. Single four-seat cars climb a chain lift and run about 1,200 feet of track with tight turns and short drops, reaching 27 mph. Disney modified a few hills to be less steep than on a standard Mack wild mouse.
