Slinky Dog Dash

Location

Hollywood Studios – Walt Disney World

Type of Ride

Launched rollercoaster

Intensity Level

6/10

Minimum Height

38″

Slinky Dog Dash

Slinky Dog Dash is a thrilling and high-speed adventure that the entire family can enjoy! Whether you are a Toy Story fan or not, you will love how well this ride immerses its guests in feeling like toys, riding in a life-sized version of Slinky Dog. Slinky Dog with take you on an adventure featuring high speeds, drops, twists, and turns that accommodate the movements of an actual slinky toy. Believe me; you will definitely leave this sweet ride with a smile on your face!

Slinky Dog Dash Location

This ride is located in Toy Story Land. You will see part of the roller coaster once you enter Toy Story Land. The queue is over the bridge on the right of the Alien Swirling Saucers. On a very busy day at the Hollywood Studios park, cast members may guide guests into a line that stretches out to the entrance of Toy Story Land.

What Age is Slinky Dog Dash Best for?

I recommend ages 8 and up for this ride. There are never any moments in the dark or loud noises. However, this roller coaster might just be a little bit too intense for younger kids who do not have much roller coaster experience. On the other hand, this ride is not so intense that children younger than 8 wouldn’t enjoy it.

How to Ride Slinky Dog Dash

This ride offers a standby line and a Lightning lane. If you pay for Genie+ or a Lightning pass, you are guaranteed a much shorter wait time than if you were to wait in the regular standby line. The regular wait time for Slinky Dog Dash is at least one hour.

Will I get Motion Sickness on Slinky Dog Dash?

I recommend that you sit this ride out if you are prone to motion sickness or if you have blood pressure, heart, neck, back, or any other conditions that might be aggravated by this roller coaster.

What Items Can I Take on Slinky Dog Dash?

You can take anything with you on this ride, as long as it fits comfortably and securely below your feet or in the pouches that are provided on the ride. The cast members will ask you to store loose items like ears, hats, and glasses in the pouch in front of your seat.

How Many People Fit it a Row?

Two people fit together in one row, and there are nine rows per train.

Can Children Ride on Your Lap?

Children cannot ride on your lap for Slinky Dog Dash. If you want to take little kids with you, you first need to make sure they meet the minimum 38″ height requirement before they can ride with you. You can still wait with little ones in line and meet them at the exit of the roller coaster.

Are there Ride Photos Available?

There are ride photos available for Slinky Dog Dash. Your picture will be taken near the end of the ride, and you can use your magic band or park ticket to scan your photo after exiting the roller coaster. Your photo is taken near the end of the ride after your Slinky Dog train wobbles up and down for some time.

Accessibility

Guests must be able to transfer to a wheelchair for the queue and must be able to transfer out of the wheelchair for the ride.

Insider Tips

When your slinky launches up a second hill, make sure to look to your left for an amazing view of Galaxy’s Edge!

Sharing some of my favorite AMAZON dresses to wear Sharing some of my favorite AMAZON dresses to wear to the Disney parks! I like wearing lightweight dresses that feel casual but also a little bit princessy. And why not!? All linked in my Amazon shop. Find it in my stories and in my profile.
Comments overhead while walking around the Polynes Comments overhead while walking around the Polynesian Resort with 40th birthday balloons: “40 was ok. 50 killed me.” “No way! 40?” “4 was a good year. Oh, there’s a zero!” “Have a magical day!” and “Wait, when is your birthday again?” (said by my 15 year old son). Happy birthday to me! I’m officially 40!! 😆🥳
Why should you choose to stay at @grandlegacyhotel Why should you choose to stay at @grandlegacyhotel while visiting Disneyland?? Here’s a few reasons we love it:

💜 Walkability - We did not rent a car while we were in Anaheim. Grand Legacy is literally across the street from Disneyland, and just a couple blocks away from countless shops and restaurants. 
💜 Value - You can’t beat the price when you look at all you get while staying at Grand Legacy compared to other area hotels.
💜 Amenities - Our luxury plus room included a mini fridge, coffee maker and microwave, which is almost a necessity when staying multiple days. There are also beverages and snacks in the lobby, a pool, hot tub, and laundry facilities.
💜 Great for Families - We have stayed here with our family as well. There are lots of great options for families, including connecting rooms.
💜 View - There are many spots on property where you can view the Disneyland fireworks at night. Even though our room was not advertised as a firework view room, we were still able to catch a glimpse of them. There are rooms available with even better views of the theme parks and fireworks. We also enjoyed watching the fireworks from up top at @thefifthoc where they dim the lights and play Disneyland music during the show.

I felt like this footage deserved a permanent home I felt like this footage deserved a permanent home in my feed 😆 Pay close attention to Jay’s face as he prepares to ride Rise of the Resistance for the first time!! This ride has remained my favorite ride at Disney World since it opened but I have never been able to convince Jay to ride it. He does tend to get motion sickness on rides, and had said he would ride it if the wait was less than 10 minutes. I figured that meant he would never get to ride it, but the other night after a storm, the park had cleared out and we saw a 10 minute wait right before closing!! Jay now says it’s his favorite ride ever - his previous favorite was Frozen 😁

Thank you @disneyparks for hosting us at an awesome Ahsoka Tano fan event last night to celebrate the release of @ahsokaofficial on @disneyplus 

We bounded as some of our favorite characters, built a droid and rode the best ride in the galaxy (Rise of the Resistance), before grabbing some blue milk and screening the first two episodes of Ahsoka, the new series coming to Disney Plus August 23rd. You are going to LOVE this show! 

To end the night, we all gathered in front of the Millennium Falcon to light up our Ahsoka sabers! 🧡

First time in Vegas! It’s been fun to see everyt First time in Vegas! It’s been fun to see everything, but in reality, we came for the cheap flights and close proximity to the National Parks 😆 We’re celebrating our anniversary today with dinner at the (Vegas) Eiffel Tower, but we’ve been on the go everyday seeing the Grand Canyon, Joshua Tree, and Zion National Park! The heat is no joke, it has actually made me appreciate the weather in Florida 🤣

Our 20th anniversary trip is officially off to a g Our 20th anniversary trip is officially off to a great start!! We are so thankful to be here together. When we first started talking about going away for our anniversary, we were coming out of an incredibly challenging time in our life and barely making ends meet. Our best idea was to attend a timeshare presentation to get a free hotel stay (anyone else been there? 🙋🏻‍♀️). We’re grateful for some very special people in our life that encouraged us to make plans and helped make it possible to think a little bit bigger. We will be packing in as much fun as we can, with a road trip to Palm Springs, Vegas, the Grand Canyon, Joshua Tree and Zion National Park. We added on a stop at Disneyland and are proud to be partnering with the @grandlegacyhotel for the next couple days. This is our second time staying here, but the first time without kids!! We love the Grand Legacy because it is stylish and modern, but also affordable. It’s located RIGHT across the street from Disneyland and just a block from all kinds of shopping and entertainment. They had a beautiful anniversary basket waiting for us when we arrived and we enjoyed dinner with a fireworks view last night at @thefifthoc ✨
We tried the infamous dill pickle milkshake at the We tried the infamous dill pickle milkshake at the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival! It’s one of those things that you just have to try! We were surprised how NOT disgusting it was. It started sweet and has an interesting flavor, but it wasn’t terrible. Find it at the Brew-Wing Lab at the Odyssey. Which is a cute, Muppet, themed food lab with all kinds of tasty concoctions!

We will be trying out @breezeairways flying nonstop from Disney World to Disneyland, then continuing on from there for our 20th anniversary trip. We’re going to pack a lot into a really quick trip, with stops at the Grand Canyon and Zion National Park. But we couldn’t get that close to Disneyland and not stop in for a quick visit 😊
