* SmoothTalkingTalentAgent: Nothing about Swifty La Rue's voice [[GutturalGrowler could be described as "smooth"]], but otherwise he's the epitome of a stereotypical Hollywood agent -- a big, greasy, balding, cigar-chomping schmoozer with an popped collar, whose vocabulary is mostly words like "babe" and "capiche".

Due to its cheap and tacky nature, it was very unpopular and closed less than a year after its opening in 2002. A few years later, it was replaced by a ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc''-themed dark ride called ''Monsters Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue!''.

Due to its cheap and tacky nature, it’s universally considered one of the worst, if not ''the'' worst attractions ever made at the Disney parks. Because of how unpopular the ride was with guests, it closed less than a year after its opening in 2002. A few years later, it was replaced by a ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc''-themed dark ride called ''Monsters Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue!''.

''Superstar Limo'' is a dark ride that opened with [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Disney's California Adventure]] in 2001.

On the ride, guests rode purple stretch limos through a cartoony rendition of Hollywood on their way to a movie premiere. Along the way, they encountered celebrities such as Creator/DrewCarey, Creator/WhoopiGoldberg and Creator/AntonioBanderas.

It was, to put it bluntly, an incredibly unpopular ride and wound up closing in 2002. A few years later, it was replaced by a ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc''-themed dark ride called ''Monsters Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue!''.

!! Tropes featured in ''Superstar Limo'' included:
* TheCameo: At one point, a golden statue of [[Disney/{{Aladdin}} the Genie]] is seen in front of a weird green Taj Mahal-esque building.
** A woman at a pool party is wearing an inner tube with WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck's head on it.
* DisneyAcidSequence: Pretty much the whole ride.
* IncrediblyLamePun: Creator/CindyCrawford is seen outside of a perfume store called "Dollars and Scents".
* RealPersonCameo: The attraction featured Creator/RegisPhilbin, Creator/MelanieGriffith, Creator/AntonioBanderas, Creator/CindyCrawford, Creator/TimAllen, Creator/JackieChan, Creator/DrewCarey, Creator/{{Cher}}, and Creator/WhoopiGoldberg... or rather, mannequins of them.
