Imagineers Ready Slinky Dog Dash Vehicle for Testing; Inside Look at Guardians of the Galaxy - Monsters After Dark

Imagineers Ready Slinky Dog Dash Vehicle for Testing:

Just a few weeks ago the very first Slinky Dog Dash ride vehicle arrived at Disney's Hollywood Studios for Toy Story Land. Today, the Disney Parks Blog shared with us how Walt Disney Imagineers are getting that ride vehicle for testing on the track. 

"The ride vehicle, which is themed after the character of Slinky from “Toy Story,” took Imagineers from multiple disciplines a few years to design, so the group was thrilled to see the finished product arrive on the site firsthand. According to the Imagineers, the vehicle was created to reflect Slinky’s personality, the movement and motion of a Slinky toy, and of course Slinky’s adorable look which will be visible throughout the land as the coaster moves along the track.
“This is a ride for the whole family: it’s fun, it’s exciting, it’s thrilling, but it’s not scary,” said Imagineer Bob Vignec. “It’s a rollercoaster, but it’s also this fun character that will be out in the land. You sort of get a little bit of goosebumps seeing it here for the first time.”

I know I'm excited for Toy Story Land and I can't wait for it to open in Summer 2018 at Disney's Hollywood Studios.
