Childhood memories come to life in Cartoon Junction, where guests will discover the wit and whimsy of the most iconic characters and animated stories from Looney Tunes and Hanna-Barbera.

Featuring nine family-friendly rides and attractions, this whimsical carefree land offers fun for kids and kids at heart. In the center of Cartoon Junction?s town square is the Tom and Jerry Swiss Cheese Spin, a ride where guests can experience a dizzying spinning coaster that careens them throughout the dynamic duo's house on a fast-moving chase full of twists and turns (and cheese). On the outskirts of town, a classic haunted dark ride gets a trackless twist in Scooby-Doo The Museum of Mysteries.

Cartoon Junction is also home to ACME Factory which features three kid-friendly rides of its own, including Daffy's Jet-Propelled Pogo Stick, featuring a vertical 'jump' tower; Tweety Wild Wockets, a fun ride that spins its passengers "awound and awound" as they try to avoid that "bad ol' puddy tat," Sylvester; and Ricochet Racin' with Taz, a car ride that whips racers around a track.
Hungry guests drop in at ACME Commissary, where quick service food is served with ACME flair, while those with a sweet tooth can indulge in a sweet treat at Huckleberry Hound Pies; Penelope Pitstop Cotton Candy; or Yogi Bear and Boo Boo Ice Cream.
