SANTA ANA, Calif. — Jon Alan Hale, a Disneyland superfan, celebrated a groundbreaking 15,000 rides on the Radiator Springs Racers, a thrilling attraction inspired by Pixar’s 'Cars.' Having undergone major surgeries in recent years, Hale discovered his passion for this ride after it opened in 2012. Tracking each ride in a notebook, he marks every 100 rides with a sign, fostering a sense of community with the Disneyland staff who cheer him on. Despite no formal records existing for this feat, Hale values the friends he’s made at the park more than the number itself. 'It’s like family,' he shares, embodying the real magic of Disneyland.
