Yesterday, my DD and DSIL came over for a family BBQ. At dinner, Ricky (DSIL), who now works the maintenance graveyard shift at DCA, told us that they were able to do a ride through (twice!!) of the new Toy Story Mania attraction. He said it is a very cool, interactive, 3D ride. Each of the cars has a controller (kind of like the Buzz ride) and there are six or seven ride stops in different areas where you are able to try your hand at various carnival-type games. In one area, you shoot darts at balloons. In another area, you try to toss rings over the little green aliens. It sounds like this will be a blast. I believe the cast preview of this attraction is scheduled within the next couple of weeks and then it's scheduled to open to the public June 17. Another reason to hit DLR this summer!
