Toy Story Land is just a week away from its official opening on June 30, and the next week will see numerous previews for Cast Members and media.

At 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. 

Alien Swirling Saucers will immerse guests in the playful world of Andy’s toys. This galactic space toy is designed as a play set that Andy won at the Pizza Planet restaurant. Adorable little Toy Story green Aliens swirl about in their flying saucers with guests in tow in their rocket-ship toys, while “The Claw” hangs overhead. This space adventure is bathed in music reimagined for intergalactic fun, dappled with multi-color lighting and sound effects from throughout galaxies.

“With set pieces, staging, attractions and experiences Toy Story Land represents the best of Walt Disney Imagineering’s collaboration with our storytelling partners at Pixar Animation Studios,” said Bob Chapek, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. “This new land will place guests inside the wondrous world of Woody, Buzz and their pals – and invite everyone to experience the joy of being a toy.”

Check out this video for a look at Toy Story Land's three rides - Slinky Dog Dash, Alien Swirling Saucers, and Toy Story Mania.

    More than that and its footprint has been expanded.

    Your out of date: In 2024, Basic Fun filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The company will use bankruptcy proceedings to repay its creditors while remaining in operation. Basic Fun emerged from bankruptcy on November 1, 2024.

    Worse than that, K'nex filed for bankruptcy and they're backlogged. No telling when they'll get those giant K'nex pieces now. Good lord!

    Target has been sold out of giant K’nex recently, hopefully they get some more in stock soon so they can finish it off

    Crazy to think this land is like 10 acres.

    But yet if you go over to All Star Movies you will fully be immersed within Andy's room in small size! The contrast Comparison vs here is wild.

    It's such a badly designed land.

    If they really wanted to go all in on Toy Story they could build a pathway to animation courtyard and use that empty space of nothing. There’s also the employee parking garage just north of SDD and RRB, if relocated could be used for expansion of TSL. Doubt it would ever happen tho

    where would you put the battleship game? The land is kind of landlocked. There is probably just enough room to put in a spinner, but not much else?

    DHS could use a water ride. If we're talking expansion. Is there room for a Battleships boardgame "come to life" attraction. While we're at it, I think it's time for TSM to get an overhaul. Maybe have an area where we venture into Sid's room and it gets weird. OR A Halloween overlay. Damn this land is lame. Even the theme isn't fully realized. Maybe by the time Toy Story 8 hits we'll get a land refresh.

    Now why can't they add the small spinning slinky for the kids and families. This coaster isn't family """friendly"""! It's NUTS!
