Ride duration timings for Slinky Dog Dash and Alien Swirling Saucers

Jun 28, 2018 in "Toy Story Land"

Posted: Thursday June 28, 2018 2:03pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

After estimates from the original designs and various leaked information we had a pretty good idea of Toy Story Land ride times, but with today's previews we can now put down some final numbers.


Slinky Dog Dash ride time

Slinky Dog Dash timings breaks down like this:

  • 48 seconds from station dispatch to brakes at the second launch
  • 50 seconds from the second launch brakes to the finale Wheezy animatronic brakes
  • 19 seconds from arriving at the Wheezy brakes to unload station

Which gives a total ride-time for Slinky Dog Dash of around 117 seconds, or just short of 2 minutes.

Alien Swirling Saucers ride time

At Alien Swirling Saucers, the ride time is 85 seconds from ride start to ride stop.

    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    Your out of date: In 2024, Basic Fun filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.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!
