Toy Story Mania! is an interactive 4D dark ride located within Toy Story Land at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Guests board rotating vehicles and use spring-action shooters to fire virtual projectiles at 3D carnival-themed games. The ride utilizes a high-capacity trackless-style system where vehicles transition between diverse screens depicting arcade-style challenges. Participants wear 3D glasses to enhance the depth of the gameplay, which features characters from the Toy Story film franchise. Individual and collective scores are tracked throughout the attraction, culminating in a final leaderboard. The ride layout consists of five primary game booths, including variations like 'Hamm & Eggs' and 'Rex and Trixie’s Dino Darts.' It is integrated into the larger Toy Story Land expansion, which features a scale-model aesthetic making guests feel like they have been shrunk to the size of toys.
