The Happy Ride with Baymax is a whip ride at Tokyo Disneyland themed to Big Hero 6. The ride system is a heavily modified 3-table Zamperla Demolition Derby ride with custom ride vehicles provided by Walt Disney Imagineering. The ride vehicles feature Baymax the riders "personal healthcare companion" in a non-rideable spaceship connected by a swinging hitch to a rocketship-like bench with a swinging wheel on the bottom that allows the benches to “drift” along the corners in a fashion similar to a whip ride. The ride was originally scheduled to open on April 15, 2020, but the opening date was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The attraction eventually opened on September 28, 2020.[1][2][3][4]

The backstory of the ride outlines that Hiro Hamada, the fourteen-year-old robotics prodigy from the 2014 animated feature film Big Hero 6, learns from Baymax, his robotic personal healthcare companion, that the first step to making people healthy is to make them happy. As such, Hiro and Baymax created a lively, musical ride designed to bring joy to everyone who experiences it. Guests are invited to join their own personal healthcare companion, "Baymax," and have their happiness levels measured with lights throughout the ride.[5][6] The ride features an original soundtrack with six songs. Similar attractions include Alien Swirling Saucers at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Mater's Junkyard Jamboree at Disney's California Adventure.

Ride experience[edit]

Each time the ride operates, one of six original songs, specifically written for the attraction, is played. Along with the music, the lighting effects change according to the song being played. The ride's cast members typically engage in semi-choreographed dances to the music. As reported by Nippon TV, these dances by the cast members have gone viral on social media. They are often imitated by park guests, sometimes resulting in large numbers of guests dancing in the ride's queue or around the attraction whenever a song plays.[7][8]
