Changes

Slinky Dog Dash was initially announced on August 15, 2015 at the D23 Expo , along with the rest of [[Toy Story Land]] <ref name= "announcement"> https://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/toy-story-land/news/15aug2015-toy-story-land-announced-for-disneys-hollywood-studios.htm </ref>. At this time, the attraction was described as a family roller coaster that would "zip and zoom, plunge and coast as it takes guests on a thrilling, toy-filled adventure throughout the new land on the back of Slinky Dog. <ref name= "announcement"/>" In Toy Story Land's initial concept art, the track was to go into a trench that Andy had dug, meaning that much of the ride took place below grade. In April 2016, when a new set of Toy Story Land concept art was releasedhowever, the scale of Slinky Dog Dash had been reduced <ref> https://wdwnt.com/2016/04/concept-art-cuts-made-to-toy-story-land-scenes-removed-from-slinky-dog-coaster/ </ref>. The coaster was now depicted as taking place entirely above ground, with the trenches no longer in site. This version of the attraction also removed a lift hill and numerous props, including a scene that would have featured the Green Army Men <ref> https://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/toy-story-land/news/04apr2016-photos---new-toy-story-land-concept-art-shows-changes-from-the-original-announcement.htm </ref>.

On June 30, 2018, Slinky Dog Dash officially opened with the rest of Toy Story Land <ref>https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2018/06/toy-story-land-officially-opens-today-at-disneys-hollywood-studios/</ref>. Since opening the attraction has not seen any major changes.

The general premise of Toy Story Land as a whole is that guests have been shrunk down to the size of a toy, and they are now exploring Andy's backyard. In this vain, the Slinky Dog Dash ride was created designed by Andy, who combined his Dash & Dodge Mega Coaster set with his Slinky Dog to create the attraction. In Slinky Dog Dash's queue, guests can see "concept art" drawn by Andy as well as the boxes that the Dash & Dodge set and Slinky Dog came in.

Slinky Dog Dash is family roller coaster that takes guests on an almost 2 minute journey around [[Toy Story Land]]. Along the way, guests can see familiar faces like Rex, Jesse and WeezeyWeezy, as well as props that Andy used to decorate the land. Disney's official description of the attraction states:

* Slinky Dog Dash features the first Wheezy animatronic created in a Disney Park<ref> https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2018/05/all-in-the-details-imagineers-bring-wheezy-to-life-at-toy-story-land-at-walt-disney-world/ </ref>.

*A Candy Land token marks how tall guests have to be to satisfy the Slinky Dog Dash's height requirement.
