Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes found himself caught off-guard by the intensity of a Disneyland ride this week while celebrating his Super Bowl 57 victory.
As is customary for the Super Bowl MVP, Mahomes and his family ventured over to a Disney park for a parade and some enjoyment.
The Mahomes have a young daughter who undoubtedly was excited to take in Disneyland, but one ride caught her NFL MVP father by surprise.
Mahomes told Jimmy Kimmel on Monday about taking his eldest kiddo on the Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway attraction, which opened at the park in 2020. He called the ride’s name a “tongue twister” while describing it.
The Chiefs quarterback said he did not expect the seemingly family-friendly attraction to go as hard as it did. He starts talking about their Disneyland trip at 3:51 in the interview.
It’s just hysterical to hear Mahomes openly wondering why a Disneyland ride starring Mickey and Minnie Mouse featured so much adrenaline.
“It was actually pretty crazy,” Mahomes told Kimmel. “It caught me by surprise a couple of times. I thought it was, like, a kids’ ride how it was set up, and all of a sudden, I’m flying around in this place, and I’m like, how do y’all let little kids on this thing?”
He’s right! The ride is kind of intense for little kids!
They say any publicity is good publicity, and Disney could see an influx of park guests who are ready to ride the attraction that gave the most decorated NFL player of his generation some unexpected thrills.

The full Kimmel interview is worth checking out. It had a hilarious anecdote about Andy Reid’s Super Bowl halftime policy for Chiefs players wanting to watch Rihanna and fascinating insight into a Pikachu-inspired trick play.
