==Attraction History==
===The Barnstormer at Goofy’s Wiseacre Farm===
The history of what would eventually be known as The Barnstormer Featuring Goofy as the Great Goofini began in 1988 with the creation of Mickey’s Starland. Within Mickey’s Starland a petting zoo known as Grandma Duck's Petting Farm could be found <ref> http://www.lostepcot.com/birthdayland.html </ref>. The small petting zoo featured various animals which were housed within a large barn. When Mickey’s Starland was replaced with Mickey’s Toontown Fair in 1996, the barn that had once been a part of Grandma Duck’s Petting Farm was incorporated into a new small steel roller coaster titled The Barnstormer at Goofy’s Wiseacre Farm <ref> http://www.yesterland.com/barnstormer.html </ref>.
The Barnstormer (as most fans called it) was a one minute, gentle roller coaster that allowed guests to board Goofy’s self-designed “Multiflex Octoplane” (an airplane), and follow a flight path that he had previously flown <ref> http://2719hyperion.blogspot.com/2006/12/goofys-barnstormer.html </ref>. Along the way guests would twist and turn, even “crashing” into a barn at full speed. In keeping with the rest of Mickey’s Toontown Fair, The Barnstormer at Goofy’s Wiseacre Farm had a rural theme to it <ref> http://www.yesterland.com/barnstormer.html </re>.
Throughout its history, The Barnstormer at Goofy’s Wiseacre Farm did not experience and major changes. At the 2009 D23 Expo however, it was announced that all of Mickey’s Toontown Fair would be replaced as part of the Storybook Circus expansion of [[Fantasyland]]. At this time it was further explained that The Barnstormer at Goofy’s Wiseacre Farm would be rethemed in order to tie in with the rest of Storybook Circus<ref> http://progresscityusa.com/2009/09/13/d23-day-three/ </ref>. On February 12, 2011 the attraction closed along with the rest of Mickey’s Toontown Fair<ref> http://www.orlandoweekly.com/Blogs/archives/2011/02/12/mickey-evicted-disneys-toontown-fair-closed-and-awaiting-demolition </ref<.
===The Barnstormer Featuring Goofy as the Great Goofini===
The Barnstormer reopened with Storybook Circus on March 12, 2012<ref> http://allears.net/tp/mk/barnstormer-featuring-great-goofini.htmm </ref>. The new attraction titled The Barnstormer Featuring Goofy as the Great Goofini allows guests to participate in the one of The Great Goofini’s stunt flights. Although now themed to fit in with Storybook Circus, the attraction’s track remained essentially unchanged. Since the Barnstormer reopened in 2012 there have been no major changes to the attraction.
