Hey everyone!
My name is Brayden coming to you with an exclusive BREAKING Disney news update, as we have just
received the first ride footage of the Slinky Dog Dash, the headliner attraction in Toy
Story Land opening this summer.
This video was sent to us by an anonymous source from the Walt Disney World resort,
where Disney is testing the brand new coaster after park hours under the guise of darkness.
Enough talking about it, enjoy the footage, here we go!
So there you have it, the Slinky Dog Dash coaster.
We’ve seen the track completed, the ride vehicle arrive, and now we have footage of
the first vehicle being tested on the track.
A bunch of things of note, looking at this footage.
First of all, the reason this is nighttime footage is because Disney has been running
the coaster in the dark, after park closing, making sure everything is running smoothly
before guests start to see testing during daytime hours.
Right now, by the looks of it, Disney isn’t doing to official weight testing yet, where
they fill the seats with containers of water or sand to simulate people, right now it more
looks like they’re testing the vehicle itself rather than the ride safety stuff we should
see a little closer to opening.
As this project has progressed, we’ve heard a lot about the ride having some sort of Slinky
effect with the ride vehicle itself, I don’t know about you, but I don't see much of that
going on in this footage we’ve obtained.
I think what Imagineering is talking about is the ride track, as you can see after the
turn you have those hills, this track was assembled by Andy in his backyard so you have
all sorts of unexpected twists and turns with the different pieces of track he’s working
with.
There was a lot of hype leading up to the swaying of the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train vehicles,
and as a result that new ride system caused the attraction to open way after the rest
of New Fantasyland, and I think took away some work that could have gone into other
elements of the attraction.
So even if there isn’t that slinky effect between each ride car like some people were
anticipating, I’m not sure that’s a bad thing.
Our source for this footage tells us Slinky’s tail actually moves, on the back of the ride
vehicle, that sounds like an awesome detail.
One thing’s for sure, this is a major new coaster for Walt Disney World.
Seeing it fly up that hill coming into the shot and whipping around the turn, this coaster
looks like it’s going to have some serious duration to it, unlike the Seven Dwarfs Mine
train, and it also looks to have some serious thrill while still being a family friendly
coaster in this Toy Story Land.
Looking at the latest aerials of the land, we’re in store for one amazing land thematically,
with the theming coming together around the land and the coaster itself, all accompanying
that awesome Slinky Dog ride vehicle we finally have footage of in action.
Let me know what you think about this brand new leaked footage of the Slinky Dog Dash
coaster.
Hopefully Disney will get to testing the ride in daylight soon so we can get more of an
idea as to how this ride will unfold.
