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. In the first section of the coaster, you’ll launch out pretty quickly and get an excellent view of the land, Toy Story Midway Mania, and the Tower of Terror off in the distance.Īndy also tricked out his coaster creation with a power booster. The coaster ride itself is about 2 minutes long. Cast Members do an excellent job keeping things moving. The coaster is a fast-loading coaster, and the wait times have averaged anywhere from 1-2 hours. There are also fans and water fountains for the hot summer days to keep cool. In the regular standby queue, you’ll likely have time to look around and see many of the fun things Imagineers have created to keep the queue interesting with the long waits. 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. 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. In one hilarious scene, the coaster swoops around blocks Andy stacked around his Jenga game. You’ll also discover Lincoln Logs and colorful wooden blocks supporting the tracks. 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.

Admission, Disney Genie+, Lightning Lane, and MagicBandsĪndy’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.
