There's no wild ride in it, at least none that we see. There's no running down people and going to hell and all that. Weird. I guess the attraction at DL was its own thing. And even outside the fact that the events in the ride and the movie differ, the story itself is kinda meh.

I believe that the ride is based on the AA Milne (sp?) play, Toad of Toad Hall which was, in turn, based on the book, The Wind in the Willows (well, the "Toad" part, at least). The ride has all of the characters in the play and includes the part of TWitW where Toad steals a car, crashed it, went to jail and had to fight the weasels to get Toad Hall back.

I don't remember there being any "hell" part in the play or the book though.
