Attractions at Toy Story Land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

There are three major attractions at Toy Story Land, all of which we consider to be “family friendly”.  

Slinky Dog Dash Roller Coaster

Slinky Dog Dash is a “family friendly” roller coaster that is perfect for first time coaster riders as it is not scary at all.  There are some small drops and turns but no inversions (it does not go upside down) on this two minute ride.  The coaster’s speed tops out at 40 miles but it seems slower due to the design of the track.

Guests hope aboard one of Slinky Dog’s five cars which have two seats in each row.   There are two launches on this ride – one at the beginning with another midway through the ride where Slink tells the riders to “Hang On” (see 2:12 mark in our video below).  At the end of the ride Slink stops to hear Mr. Pricklepants (from Toy Story 3) sing “You’ve Got a Friend in Me”.

This attraction is a fully outdoor coaster so although the ride closes during bad weather, it provides some of the best views in all of Toy Story Land.

Although wait times can easily exceed 60 minutes on a typical summer day, we consider Slinky Dog Dash a great attraction that is worth the wait.  Disney Genie+ Lighting Lanes are available for this attraction.

Toy Story Mania!

One of the our favorite rides throughout all of the Disney parks is Toy Story Mania!  This ride is a 4D shooting game featuring Woody, Buzz and your other favorite Toy Story Characters. 

Guests board a carnival-inspired ride vehicle which features two, two-person cars.  The goal is to shoot the targets that are in five individual games.

• Hamm & Eggs
• Rex & Trixie’s Dino Darts
• Green Army Men Shoot Camp
• Buzz Lightyear’s Flying Tossers
• Woody’s Rootin’ Tootin’ Shootin’ Gallery

The riders accumulate points when hitting their targets and the one with the most points is the winner.

There are no height or age restrictions for Toy Story Mania!  There is some spinning movement when on the ride vehicle but we consider that to be fairly mild in nature so this attraction is suitable for just about all guests.

Wait times for Toy Story Mania can get lengthy and exceed one hour on a typical summer day.  Disney Genie+ Lighting Lanes are available for this attraction.

Alien Swirling Saucers

Alien Swirling Saucers is the perfect ride to finish your day in Toy Story Land.   Guests hop on board a flying saucer along with a one of the little green men (from the Toy Story movies) for a ride through space.

Although this is a mild ride, it is limited to guests 32 inches and taller.  There is some minor spinning but most riders will find this attraction fun and easy.

Wait times for Alien Swirling Saucers are fairly moderate and typically less than 30 minutes. Disney Genie+ Lighting Lanes are available for this attraction.

Shopping and Dining at Toy Story Land

Shopping and dining at Toy Story Land is not as extensive as you will find in other areas of Disney’s Hollywood Studios (like Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge).  There are two venues which include:

Woody’s Lunch Box

Guests can get breakfast, lunch or dinner at Woody’s Lunch Box.  This quick service dining restaurant serves a variety of American fare including sandwiches, Totchos and snacks and is typically open all day during normal park hours.
