New Attraction Immerses You in Disney-Pixar Play!
Starting Summer 2008, the new Toy Story Mania! attraction,
inspired by Disney-Pixar’s “Toy Story” films, will blow you away
with its combination of colorful, ride-through excitement, 3D
technology and full-on competition.
But
we just couldn’t wait to take in the fun. That’s why we
visited the construction site with Walt Disney Imagineering Show
Producer Chrissie Allen to check in on the action.
Just got in from going to the
Disney Hollywood Studios to see a preview of Toy Story Midway
Mania. While in line they had to close the ride and evacuate the
building. Note: If this happens to you hang around the
entrance after the crowds thin out and they may offer you a fast
pass to get back in once the ride reopens.
About 1 hour later we re-entered
the attraction. The queue is very very nice. Lots of detail to
keep you distracted, and air conditioned. The queue inside is
very large. The audioanamatronic Mr. Potato Head is amazingly
well done! The ride itself is fairly run of the mill electric
rail (Pooh / Snow White rides. The cars are two sided and do
rotate some during the ride but nothing outrageous. The shooting
gallery devices are straight out of the Pirates of the Caribbean
experience at DisneyQuest. Pull the sting and fire. The movies
you are firing into are all 3D with some nice special effects.
I was told they run about 17
cars at a time on the track. Each car can hold up to 4 people.
We are guessing that the ride is around 4 minutes in length.
With load and unload time I am guessing a ride capacity of
around 800 per hour.
We had a good time riding this
new addition to the park. Not something I would wait hours
to ride, but well worth a 30-40 minute wait if you can not get a
fast pass.
I thought the whole street area
was very well done. It appears that once completed there will be
a camera shop, gift shop and cafe directly across from the main
entrance to the ride. (I don't think it was just false fronts).
