Here is some extended footage of the new Slinky Dog Dash Coaster testing in the brand new Toy Story Land, opening at Disney's Hollywood Studios June 30 2018.

In Slinky Dog Dash, Andy has assembled his roller coaster kit for maximum family fun. Tracks and supports in bright colors of red, orange, yellow and blue are put together according to Andy’s hand-drawn plans, with Rex and Jessie lending a hand. And to complete his creation, Andy picked up everyone’s favorite floppy-eared dachshund with a strrrrretch-ing slinky coil belly and dropped it on to the coaster track. Get ready to ride inside Slinky Dog’s coils! Slinky Dog Dash is inspired bythe delightful pooch spinoff of Slinky, the 1950s American toy classic. Riders of all ages will delight as Slinky Dog bends and twists his coils around curves, hills, bridges and drops in the Slinky-est coaster ever. Riders will zip around and above Toy Story Land, serving up panoramic views of all that the new land has to offer. Andy’s colorful creation will stretch Slinky Dog and his coils to the max – from his head to his upturned tail – and be fun for the entire family.

So we are back to where we started... this project has got to go down in WDW history as one of the longest for such a small return.

Yeah I know, but it was still called Pizza Planet with the logo. And it served pizza (I think the exact same pizza that it still serves now).

In name only, nothing about the theme was pizza planet.

Pizzerizzo used to be Pizza Planet.

I was really hoping for Pizza Planet, especially if Pizzerizzo closes.

Disney really hasn’t cut budgets after a project starts in a long time. Program gets cut to help cover costs elsewhere.

More proof that its probably cost them more money going back and adding this expanded seating with shade than cutting it from the budget when building the original land.

Any timeline on when this is supposed to be done?

Those big holes feel like new footings for *fingers crossed* some new type of canopy structure? But we'll just have to wait and see

Roundup Rodeo Barbeque is the sit-down restaurant and it's open. This is for Woody's Lunchbox, the land's quick service, which has way too few places to sit so they're adding some. Which is a good thing, but they announced it and put up the walls to start almost three years ago.

I guess I’m confused why they felt the need to rip everything up if all they’re going to do is install a canopy… they are installing a canopy, right??
