Pricklepants’ “Songs for Singing,” compiled by the huggable hedgehog from Toy Story 3. Toys and toy packaging complete the scene, including a Rubik’s Cube, a game canister for Pick-Up Snakes and toy wooden blocks spelling out F-U-N – all against the backdrop of a towering book, Mr. The first half of the ride is many swirls, turns and dips, and after the second launch come a drop and camelback humps – as if you were playing with a Slinky Dog toy,” explained Dave Minichiello, Executive Creative Director of Walt Disney Imagineering.Īndy saved one last surprise for his coaster’s finale: Wheezy, the squeaky toy penguin from the Toy Story films, breaks into a rendition of “You’ve Got a Friend in Me.” Created especially for Slinky Dog Dash, the Audio-Animatronics figure of Wheezy is unique among Disney Parks globally. When Slinky Dog Dash hits its midway point, the coaster stops, reverses a few yards, then shoots through multiple rings pulsing with sounds, spinners and flashing lights to launch riders into the second act of the ride experience. Rex, the toy dinosaur, is precariously perched atop the unstable Jenga stack trying to decorate the toy block city by stringing up colored Christmas lights – a daunting task when you’re a dinosaur with short front arms! Jessie comes to his rescue, working to untangle Rex’s dino-sized predicament.Īndy also tricked out his coaster creation with a power booster. In one hilarious scene, the coaster swoops around blocks Andy stacked around his Jenga game. Glue bottles, empty toy boxes and stray coaster parts and pieces are strewn about – Andy’s pet project was clearly a work in progress when he was called away. Guests approaching the ride launch see Andy’s plans sketched out in Crayola crayon on notebook paper. Track and supports for the coaster are done up in bright colors of red, orange, yellow, and blue. The attraction’s ride vehicles are spring-tailed spinoffs of Slinky, the iconic American toy from the 1940s. It all takes place in Andy’s backyard, where he used the Dash & Dodge Mega Coaster Play Kit to assemble this speedy toy.Īndy’s idea for his double-launch coaster – a Disney first – was to pick everyone’s favorite floppy-eared dachshund with the stretching coil body – Slinky Dog – to send guests around the track. They get to ride his creation and be inside Slinky Dog’s coils as the lovable pooch twists and turns around the track. Handicapped Accessibility: Guests must transfer to standard wheelchair, and then to ride vehicleĪs honorary toys, guests have Andy of Pixar Animation Studios’ Toy Story films to thank for this incredibly fun experience. This multi-launch, family-friendly roller coaster careens around bends and “catches air” over camelback humps as it runs across the 11-acre land. To learn more and plan your visit to the newly-opened land, visit on the coolest canine toy ever, guests are in for a rollicking good time as they ride Slinky Dog Dash. Toy Story Land is now open to guests, after officially opening on June 30, 2018. Overall, the reactions seem very positive, with the main point being that the coaster is faster and taller than what most expected. Honestly, Slinky Dog coaster is the cutest ride ever, you literally can hear the slinky making the noise, it’s so creative, I love it I rode slinky dog dash today and oh my god. I came, I saw, I conquered Slinky Dog Dash. Toy Story Land felt like Toy Story Mania indoor queue but outside on a larger scale. Good addition to DHS with the direction they have decided to go. Had a great time! A lot faster and taller than I was expecting.

Had the privilege of riding Slinky Dog Dash today. I can’t wait for it to open in two weeks!! Rode Slinky Dog Dash two times today and loved it so much!! 🎢 It’s so cute and goes way faster than you think. Rode Slinky Dog Dash today w/ other CMs! It’s a cute coaster in a nicely themed land (very similar to Hong Kong’s Toy Story Land if you’ve seen that-was glad to see we got the popsicle stick benches!) SDD is also nice alternative for those too short/ too scared to do RnRcoaster. I truly am living my best life out here with gabriela ✨ June 14, 2018

Today I rode the slinky dog dash at Hollywood Studios and I’m going to say 10/10. Toy Story Land is going to be absolutely epic, and Slinky Dog Dash is such a fun attraction.
