DESTINATIONS THEME PARKS & ATTRACTIONS WHAT’S NEW AT DISNEY
everything around Andy’s back yard is built on an enormous scale. The land will hold two main
attractions: Slinky Dog Dash, an 18-seat rollercoaster ride, and Alien Swirling Saucers, themed around the little three- eyed, green alien toys from the claw machine at Pizza Planet, and essentially a modern take on a teacup ride. Both are high-energy, family-oriented rides, and I can’t wait to be first in line. In addition, there will be a quick-
service restaurant called Woody’s Lunch Box, made to look like the Tupperware lunch box Andy’s mother packs for him to take to school, serving meals and old-fashioned soda floats. And to welcome all guests at the
new land there will be larger-than- life figures of Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie and Rex.
◗ SPACE RACE This year’s Toy Story Land will be followed in 2019 with the opening of the 14-acre Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, also under construction at the park.
