A Bug's Land opens inside Disney's California Adventure October 6, 2002

A Bug's Land opens inside Disney's California Adventure (although part of the land has been in operation since 2001). Designed especially for younger kids, the area (inspired by the Disney/Pixar movie) features such attraction as Flik's Flyers and Tuck and Roll's Drive'Em Buggies.

"A Bug's Land" is a section of Disney's California Adventure at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. The area is based on the Disney·Pixar film "A Bug's Life". Adjoining the 2001 agricultural themed area "Bountiful Valley Farm", the "a bug's land", originally to be called "Flik's Fun Fair", opened in Autumn of 2002 and sought to offer kid-friendly rides sorely lacking from the park's initial roster.

Oversized human items and foodstuffs are scattered around the land, similar to the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids play area at Disney Hollywood Studios. The entrance to the section featuring the rides is a box of "Cowboy Crunchies", a reference to Sheriff Woody from another Disney·Pixar film, Toy Story 2. The fictional backstory for the land reveals that Flik and the other bugs were inspired to create their own fun fair when Disney's California Adventure opened next door to them. When the Imagineers set out to build the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, they discovered the bugs in the garden and decided to open up Flik's fair to park guests.

Flik's Flyers is a spinner ride at "Flik's Fun Fair" inside A Bug's Land at Disney's California Adventure Park at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. Guests ride in Flik's bug-made contraption fashioned from man-made objects. The vehicles appear to have been fashioned from used food containers and have been stitched together by leaves and twigs to become “balloons” that whirl around a pie plate centerpiece.

Also, the wait time sign resembles a button. Whirring, cranking gears are heard as they leave the ground. They can provide a great view of the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. Flik's Flyers is similar to Blowfish Balloon Race at Tokyo DisneySea.

Heimlich's Chew Chew Train is a slow moving train-type ride inside A Bug's Land at Disney's California Adventure Park at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. It first opened in 2002, along with the rest of A Bug's Land.

Guests board a train in the shape of Heimlich, the German-accented caterpillar from Disney·Pixar's A Bug's Life. Heimlich himself narrates the ride through the speakers on the trains. Heimlich's tendency to overeat is the theme of the ride, as the train appears to eat through oversized portions of human foods: candy corn, animal crackers, carrots, Brussels sprouts and watermelon. Appropriate scents accompany the giant food sets so guests can sniff to attract them. Large bites have been taken out of all the foods, so you can tell that Heimlich has been there before. At the ride's end, Heimlich bids guests farewell and reminds them to eat their fruits and vegetables.

Other attractions include Francis's Ladybug Boogie, Princess Dot Puddle Park and Tuck and Roll's Drive 'Em Buggies
