Toy Story Midway Mania

Dark ride

About Toy Story Midway Mania

Located on the former Mickey Avenue, Toy Story Midway Mania melds a dark ride with a 3D video game. You ride in spinning cars, stopping to play six different midway carnival games featuring Toy Story characters. You "shoot" at virtual targets using a pull-string "gun" that launches virtual pies, rings, pins, eggs and suction darts, scoring points with every hit. -- Last edited by Robert Niles

Walt Disney Imagineering came through big time with this attraction. State of the art ride. - William Clark

Top notch addition to a park that badly needs new rides (too many shows in DHS). The queue is very attractive, and Mr. Potato Head is a state of the art audio-animatronic (he even sings!). The carny games are very well done and entertaining. A must see. - Sylvain Comeau

I just got back from a trip where I got to ride Toy Story Mania, Men in Black, and Buzz Lightyear and Toy Story Mania was head and shoulders above the other two. Very nice queueing area...it will take you back to the toys you played with when you were a kid. These games are a lot of fun and it's much easier to understand how to play and where you are shooting than the other rides of this kind. You may want to read up on how to get the best score as each screen seems to have a special method to maximize points. - Carl Stovall

Theming here is incredible. Fantastic addition to DHS. - Mike Burnette

A new standard in interactive rides. Definitely better than Buzz Lightyear and Men in Black. Even though I am not a huge fan of these type of rides, I still found this to be quite fun. The 3-D images are clear and sharp looking and the other effects are a nice touch as well. The waiting area is also very nicely decorated. Thats a good thing since wait times are really long for this. The ride is new and hot so waits went up to 180 minutes when I was there and constantly stayed above 90 minutes, so grab a fastpass early or else they will run out. Even though I miss Who Wants to be a Millionaire(the show that used to occupy this building), this ride is a nice family attraction that is worth a visit. - Manny Barron

This attraction has raised all interactive game attractions to a new level. Disney has delivered another winner. - Tony Morton
