Toy Story Mania Opens Today

This is no big secret, but just in case anyone missed it, Toy Story Mania opens today at both Disney's California Adventure and Disney's Hollywood Studios.

Toy Story Mania is nothing like a traditional theme park attraction. It's more like a ride-through 3D video game, and I speak with great authority because I rode it seven times yesterday (see the video clip). You're on a car going around a track, wearing 3D glasses so everything is 3D. The ride is designed to make you feel like you've been shrunk down to the size of a toy in a kid's bedroom, while you along with "Toy Story" characters Buzz Lightyear and Woody navigate classic kids games and play old fashioned midway games. You pull the rope on the shooter right in front of you to try to hit targets in a range of games- darts, ring toss etc- to rack up points.


This is probably the first thing I'll aim for when we go to WDW in early Sept.
