Attraction

In Walt Disney Studios Park, the ride is located at the back of Toy Story Playland, amongst mature trees, which double as overgrown bushes in the Toy Story universe. The ride vehicle is themed after the RC toy car character from the film series, while the track is designed to look like an orange racetrack playset. Guests in the ride vehicle are propelled forwards and backwards through the station building in a semicircular half-pipe part of the track, building up enough speed in the process to hit the top height of apprpoximately 82 feet (25 meters).
