Themed around the Toy Story films, the story of the ride is that Andy has built a roller coaster using his "Dash & Dodge Mega Coaster Kit"[3] and decided to use Slinky Dog as the ride vehicle. The ride can accommodate up to four trains at a time.[4][5]

The attraction concludes with a performance by the first ever audio-animatronic Wheezy the Penguin, who serenades guests at the Big Finale on the final brake run.[6] Wheezy's singing on the ride was voiced by actor Sean Kenin.[7]
