When the rope drops at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the crowds no longer head for Rock ‘n Roller Coaster or the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror.  Instead, guests make a mad dash toward Pixar Place for Toy Story Mania!   Featuring Disney’s renowned blend of complex technology and spectacular theming, the attraction is based on Andy’s Room, a treasure trove of iconic toys that have delighted generations of children.  Nostalgic playthings include Mr. Potato Head, board games, Tinker Toys, crayons, dominoes, playing cards, puzzles, Lincoln Logs, and alphabet blocks; all supersized to allow each guest a toy-sized experience themselves.

As players move through the different Midway games scoring points, eggs fly, balloons pop, plates shatter, rings toss, and darts, well, dart!  3-D glasses allow passengers to “see” projectiles fly from their shooters toward the targets and watch other objects jump out from the scenes; the 4-D technology lending a virtual “whoosh” as they pass by.

Two-sided ride vehicles seat a total of four passengers back-to-back, allowing two players sitting side-by-side to compete at one game while two others face a different game.

Actual ride time is a satisfying five minutes, making that long wait in the standby line seem truly worthwhile.  Enormous fun for all ages, Toy Story Mania! has no height restrictions and features specially-modified cars that can be boarded using wheelchairs and power chairs.
