Toy Soldiers Parachute Drop is a parachute jump–style based ride at Walt Disney Studios Park and Hong Kong Disneyland. The ride is part of the Toy Story Playland in France, and Toy Story Land in Hong Kong.
Summary[]
Based on the scene in the original Toy Story film when the Green Army Men parachute through the stair banisters to investigate Andy's birthday presents, Toy Soldiers Parachute Drop is now easily the most popular attraction in the Playland.
Positioned neatly between the tame Slinky Dog Zigzag Spin and thrilling RC Racer, this attraction has the benefit of both anchoring the entrance to the land and towering 80 ft high above the entire park. Toy soldier recruits are hoisted up to the top of the tower in 6-person "parachutes" before tumbling back down to earth in a series of rises and falls that offer an unrivalled view over the oversized surroundings.
Fun touches around the attraction include a giant Playskool walkie-talkie, which momentarily bursts to life with updates on Andy's presence, a "plastic" look-out tower dug down into the sandy ground and an army base complete with human-size accessories and soldiers which look as if they've been cut from a plastic mould kit.
Trivia[]
- An earlier plan for Disney California Adventure was included this ride, which would have replaced the former Maliboomer space-shot attraction.
- Prior to the parachute ride system being brought into Toy Story Land, an Incredibles theme was considered based around Syndrome's base on Nomanisan Island. [1]
