Slinky Dog Dash is a steel launched roller coaster located at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, USA. It is located in the Toy Story Land section.

History

In April 2017, new information emerged stating that Slinky Dog Dash will feature a launch and be manufactured by Mack Rides. It is the second Mack coaster to be installed by Disney, with the first being Goofy's Sky School at Disney's California Adventure. It has red track and yellow supports.

The ride's track layout was completed in August 2017 and the train arrived at Walt Disney World shortly after.[1]

The ride opened alongside the opening of Toy Story Land at Disney's Hollywood Studios on June 30, 2018.[2]

Due to safety concerns, the "tail" at the back of each train was removed in early January 2019.[3] The tails returned the following month.[4]
