Slinky Dog Dash is an attraction in Toy Story Land at Disney's Hollywood Studios

History

Slinky Dog Dash was initially announced on August 15, 2015 at the D23 Expo along with the rest of Toy Story Land ^[1]. 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. ^[1]" 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 released, the scale of Slinky Dog Dash had been reduced ^[2]. 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 ^[3].

On June 30, 2018, Slinky Dog Dash officially opened with the rest of Toy Story Land ^[4]
