Just when we thought things couldn’t get any better...
Once upon a time we thought Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin was as good as things could get with a friendly competition kind of attraction. Then in 2008, Toy Story Mania said, “Hold my View-Master reels.” The theming couldn’t be cuter; you ARE a toy in Andy’s room. It’s us, our Toy Story pals and a bunch of board games just hanging out until the REAL fun starts.
As you move in your ride vehicle from midway game to midway game, you’re certain you now have the worst case of carpal tunnel syndrome ever, but the pain can wait. You HAVE to be the top scorer in your car or you will lose all chances at any bragging rights. It’s fast, it’s furious and you will be laughing so hard you may forget to pull that blasted string!
This is such a seemingly simple attraction but also PURE Disney magic at its absolute best. The characters, the immersiveness, the interaction with your people, the action-this is one that Walt would 100% love riding right along with all of us.
What do you love most about Toy Story Mania? Have you ever been the top scorer in your cart? (Are you still rubbing folks’ face in it...we’d understand if you were.)
