It’s time for another “Rode It! Loved It!” (my reviews of established attractions that are exclusively for paid subscribers). Let’s head over to Andy’s bedroom and test our skills on Toy Story Mania, Disney’s engaging, interactive attraction. Not a paid subscriber? Pfft. Please consider upgrading and joining the wonderful group of folks who support my work and get bonus features like “Rode It! Loved It!” There are no ads of any kind here at About Theme Parks, you know. Paid subscriptions are my only source of income, so how about helping a journalist out?

A landmark in interactive theme park attractions, Toy Story Mania takes ultra-flashy video game technology, embellishes it with 3-D graphics (yep, riders wear dorky 3D glasses), presents a game play experience that appeals to everyone from toddlers to the most experienced gamers, and wraps it all together using the engaging characters from the Toy Story films. The result is a giddy and highly addictive attraction that has nearly maniacal guests hell-bent on beating their ride-mates—and jumping back in line to trounce them again and again.
