Here is a shot - not sure where it is taken from - that shows Cinderella’s castle in Storybook Land. If I had to guess, I would say it’s from Casey Jr.
Plug this bad boy into your TV and starting burning the weight away as you dance to Disney tunes. You won’t be alone (check out this video I linked to of Mickey and Minnie at Disneyland playing the arcade version.
