In Andy’s backyard, he has built something special out of his Mega Coaster Play Kit — the Slinky Dog Dash coaster! This attraction looms over most of Toy Story Land, and regardless of what anyone says, it will likely be one of the most popular attractions at Disney’s Hollywood Studios for the next couple of years.
The Queue
Standing in line for Slinky Dog Dash will easily be the worst part of the entire attraction. For some reason, Disney Imagineers didn't think guests visiting hot and humid central Florida would want an indoor queue. Being that this is a brand-new attraction which many guests are excited about, it is likely that this ride will have a wait time of over two hours. Guests aren't likely going to be thrilled to know that they'll be sweating it out in the open Florida air.
The queue is themed with giant blocks, Crayola crayons, and pieces of the Mega Coaster Play Kit that make up the track. Much of the shaded section of the queue is inside the Slinky Dog "cardboard box." While there are some immersive elements, the line does feel like a zig-zagging corral — which wasn't an issue for the media day, but likely will be for guests waiting in line for two hours once this land opens on June 30.
The Ride
At the very beginning of Slinky Dog Dash, the ride vehicle is launched into one of the tallest peaks of the coaster. You then coil around a giant set of blocks, which Rex is standing on top of. Next you come to the second launch, which features flashing lights, sound effects, and a tunnel of signs overhead that reads “Go! Go! Go!” Immediately following the launch, the coaster goes up overlooking the construction of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge! The ride concludes with a few more dips and curves before you are welcomed back into the unloading station by giant versions of Mr. Mike and Wheezy.

Slinky Dog Dash hits that sweet spot where children can ride it without being terrified, but it is still an amusing attraction for adults. It isn't quite as thrilling as Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, but it is a step above The Barnstormer featuring Goofy as the Great Goofini.
I highly suggest riding Slinky Dog Dash at night. The entire track is filled with lights, and if you time it up perfectly you'll have an amazing view of the Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular Fireworks! You'll have a great time on Slinky Dog Dash any time of the day, but at night it is brought to another level.
