Welcome to Andy’s Room! Or, more appropriately, welcome to Andy’s backyard!

Slinky Dog Dash as a family-friendly roller coaster that sends you dipping, dodging and dashing around hairpin turns. As you get ready to set off on your adventure, you’ll hear a “spring” sound before you’re launched forward through a series of hills and turns. About halfway through the attraction, the vehicles come to a stop, and Slinky tells you to “hang on!” Look quickly to see two spinning signs on either side of the track, each with twirling flames. A series of four half-circles cover the track in front of the vehicles, each of which is labeled “GO!” Your car slowly moves backwards as the flame signs turn, then here we go! You’re then launched forward for a second time through another series turns and lifts, including a series of small hills that send you bouncing up and down!

Magical Moments

  • The distinctive vehicles resemble Slinky Dog himself, including actual wire circles and a wire spring tail. This also plays into the backstory of the attraction, as when Andy built the coaster he used his beloved Slinky Dog toy for the actual coaster vehicle.
  • You can get a good view of the Galaxy’s Edge expansion from high atop one of the coaster’s hills!
  • Keep an eye out for Rex, the funny short-armed dinosaur, who can be seen standing high atop a leaning tower of Jenga blocks.
  • You’ll also find Jessie standing atop several blocks stringing up Christmas lights!
  • As you come to the end of your ride, a sign overhead looks to have been created using cardboard and crayons and reads “The Big Finale.” One of the green army men stands guard above this sign. To the right-hand side, you’ll see one of the most popular props in the entire attraction, a large Audio-Animatronic Wheezy the Penguin who sings “You’ve Got a Friend In Me,” along with the help of a few familiar friends!

Hidden Mickeys & Other Secrets

  • Keep your eye out for a package for a “Squeaky Penguin Bath Toy” that includes a warning of “not for use in water.” This is a reference to the character Wheezy that Toy Story fans know was introduced in Toy Story 2. At the beginning of that film, Woody is placed high atop a shelf after his arm is torn. Woody is surprised to meet Wheezy, a penguin toy with a broken squeaker. Wheezy gets a new squeaker at the end of that film and sings, “You’ve Got A Friend In Me” for the Toy Story gang.

Did You Know...?

  • According to the backstory for Slinky Dog Dash, Andy, the fun-loving child from the Toy Story films, built the coaster using his “Dash & Dodge Mega Coaster Kit.”
  • If you look up when standing underneath the covered portion of the queue, you’ll see that even the ceiling of this area is themed as the interior of the box that the slinky dog toy was packaged in.

Touring Tips

  • Although Slinky Dog Dash is a “family-friendly coaster,” the attraction does have a minimum height requirement of 38 inches.
  • Keep in mind that the attraction and the queue are primarily outdoors. Therefore, come prepared for both hot summer temperatures and afternoon rain showers.
