Origin[edit]Mad Tea Cups is based off the Mad Tea Party ride, designed as a spinning teacup ride for Disneyland and later featured in several other Disney theme parks. The ride's name varies between parks however the theme is the same, being themed after the scene in Disney's Alice in Wonderland where the Mad Hatter and March Hare invite Alice to celebrate their Unbirthday Party at the Tea Party Garden.
