Disney's Hollywood Studios Toy Story Mania preview

The Orlando Sentinel has posted a preview article describing the new Toy Story Mania! ride at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Toy Story Mania! is an interactive dark ride scheduled to open this summer in the area of the park's old Who Wants to be a Millionaire -- Play It! attraction. According to the article, park guests will use "spring-action" cannon devices to launch virtual projectiles from spinning vehicles at targets worth various points. Four original songs have been written for the attraction, which will features "games" such as "Hamm n Eggs," where guests toss eggs at farm animals; dart throwing at balloons hosted by Wheezy and Bo Peep; throwing baseballs at plates under the instruction of Green Army Men; ring toss with Buzz Lightyear and the little green men (this is said to be the most difficult of the games); and a big-score opportunity/saloon scene with Woody, Jessie, the Prospector and Bullseye. Later, each guest's score is revealed, and is compared with top scores of the day, hour, and all-time. "It's like Buzz Lightyear to the 100th power," said Imagineer Chrissie Allen, referencing Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, found at WDW's Magic Kingdom. Below is a preview image of the "carnival ride" vehicles guests will ride in on Toy Story Mania!.
