The Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind is a spinning ride located in Pixar Pier at Disney California Adventure Park within the Disneyland Resort. Inspired by Pixar’s “Inside Out,” the attraction immerses guests in a whimsical journey through the Headquarters of Riley’s mind. The experience has no height restrictions and offers a moderate thrill through its rotating vehicles.
