Toy Story Midway Mania!

Toy Story Midway Mania! (marketed as Toy Story Mania!) is an interactive theme park attraction at Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disney California Adventure theme parks.

Designed by Walt Disney Imagineering and inspired by the Disney/Pixar films Toy Story and Toy Story 2, the attraction was first unveiled during a press conference at Walt Disney World in January 2007. The Florida version opened officially on May 31, 2008 while the California version officially opened on June 17, 2008. A new version of the attraction was constructed at Tokyo DisneySea and opened on July 9, 2012 and is located at American Waterfront.

Premise

 * Step inside Andy’s room and wind your way through a toy treasure chest of classic playthings. Pass a Candyland® game box, Viewmaster® discs, crayon drawings and a Scrabble board before picking up a pair of special 3D glasses for the fun to come.
 * Inside the vibrant toy box, meet Mr. Potato Head®, decked out in a 1920s barker outfit as he introduces you to the attraction.

Story
In the two American versions, the attraction is presented as taking place in Andy's Bedroom in a large Midway Mania playset that the toys decided to set up to play themselves.

Tokyo DisneySea's version, located in American Waterfront, is set in a new subarea of the land: Toyville Trolley Park, a Coney Island inspired setting housing some mini-games in the shops in addition to the attraction itself.

Concept
Park guests wear 3-D glasses (Carnival Games Goggles) aboard spinning vehicles that travel through virtual environments based on classic carnival midway games. Ride vehicles seat up to four in back-to-back pairs.



Mini-games
The attraction features five mini-games after a practice round, each of which includes at least one "Easter egg" that can trigger additional targets or gameplay changes. These games include: Each guest's score is recorded by an onboard display screen as points are acquired with individual toy cannons firing simulated projectiles at virtual targets. Toy Story characters including Woody, Hamm, Buzz Lightyear and Bo Peep appear during the attraction's different games.
 * Pie Throw Practice Booth (pie toss target practice game, a no points introduction)
 * Hamm & Eggs (egg throw game)
 * Rex and Trixie's Dino Darts (dart throw game)
 * Green Army Men Shoot Camp (baseball throw / plate breaking game)
 * Buzz Lightyear's Flying Tossers (ring toss game)
 * Woody's Rootin' Tootin' Shootin' Gallery (suction cup shooting game)

Similar technology has been used in Disney attractions such as Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for Buccaneer Gold at DisneyQuest and several Buzz Lightyear attractions. According to Disney, it is the first attraction created simultaneously by Walt Disney Imagineering for two theme parks.

The line at all the three parks features a large Mr. Potato Head Audio-Animatronics figure that interacts with guests through pre-recorded snippets of dialogue performed by comedian Don Rickles (Kazunaga Tsuji in the Japanese version), who voiced the character in the Toy Story films. The sophisticated figure identifies people in the audience, sings and tells jokes. He is one of the only AAs in the world to remove and replace his own working parts.

Former Mini-Games
Only five mini-games can be used at a time at Toy Story Mania. The Following games have been featured as part of Toy Story Mania in the past, but have been since replaced:
 * Bo Peep's Baaa-loon Pop (dart throw game) Replaced May 21, 2010 with "Rex and Trixie's Dino Darts"

Trivia

 * Toy Story Mania!, guest get to experience what life is like from a toys perspective by coming into contact with the ViewMaster reels nearly four feet in diameter and the Tinkertoy connectors that are two feet across. Andy's Room will make a 5'6" person feel about 14 inches tall.
