Andy has his new Midway Games play set assembled and ready to go. Now he's gone off to gather up the toys that will play the game with him. It may take a while to find them - they're busy downstairs running the games for all of the big kids visiting Disney California Adventure.
There are lots of images on the walls of Toy Story Midway Mania. There is such a variety that most riders will find something that brings back a fond memory.
There are lots of memories here for me. The images of yummy candy on the Candy Land board very likely led to the growth of at least one sweet tooth. Chutes and Ladders (known as Snakes and Ladders in the rest of the world) was always frustrating - every up was quickly followed by a down. Mouse Trap was the most fun, building the trap itself then watching it operate in all of its Rube Goldberg inspired glory.
Finally, the book of Grimm's Fairy Tales reminds me of one of my favorie movies as a child, the 1962 Cinerama film The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm. It was recently restored and released on BluRay, enabling future generations to discover and enjoy it.
Among the featured performers in Andy's Toy Story Midway Mania play set are Mr. Potato Head, Woody's horse Bullseye and everyone's favorite, Slinky Dog. One wonders what kind of fun games they have designed for the Midway.
There is always a decision to me made when a new toy arrives: Keep the box or discard it. In this case, the choice was easy. Can you imagine how much less interesting Toy Story Midway Mania would be if Andy had tossed the box in the recycle bin?
Toy Story Midway Mania is a very popular attraction in Disney's Hollywood Studios. To accommodate the crowds, a copy of the attraction as installed in Disney California Adventure was added in a separate room, supplementing the two tracks in the original attraction. Here we see control panel for the new track, which is visible from he queue in Andy's bedroom.
The video monitor shows a track diagram on top. The oo symbols on the map are ride vehicles. Below that is a list of messages from the Master Control Program. The control panel is covered with clearly labeled buttons for use by the crew of minimum-wage cast members.
