Disney’s new Toy Story Mania is much more than a ride!
“It’s a ride; it’s game. It’s a game; it’s a ride.”
Whether you want to call it a ride or a game, one thing is certain…it’s a fun adventure for everyone!
The first stop on the ride features a practice opportunity for riders to learn how to fire their “spring-action shooter,” which is shaped like a miniature cannon. Then you’ll move right into a world of virtual reality, as you start firing pies at various bull’s-eye targets – and with realistic, three-dimensional effects. Along the way, you’ll progress to firing not just pies, but eggs, darts, baseballs and there’s even a ring toss. And while it’s fun to launch things, there’s not much time to relax. It’s best to just keep firing away since the highest “scores” are the result of shooting as rapidly as possible. Launchers can fire up to six objects per second!
Although no special skills or training are required to play, various targets have different values and even some special effects. For example, if you hit a water balloon, you might feel a misty spray of water. And you can shoot at a variety of other objects, including green aliens, plates, ducks and trees. Because everything is oversized, you’ll feel a part of the game. The scale of the ride is designed to make you feel toy-sized and the game takes place “under a bed.” Oversized green army men, Tinkertoys, used crayons, checkers and Old Maid cards are just a few of the giant toys you’ll find.
Stumble it!
