Summary
[
edit
]
The attraction is based on a scene in the original
Toy Story
film where
Green Army Men
parachute through stair banisters to investigate Andy's birthday presents. Early plans for
Disney California Adventure
included this ride. Instead, the
Maliboomer
space-shot
attraction was constructed.
Positioned between the
Slinky Dog Zigzag Spin
and
RC Racer
, this attraction towers over 80 feet above the park.

Guests are hoisted to the top of the tower in six-person "parachutes" before tumbling back to earth in a series of rises and falls that offer a view of the attraction's surroundings.
Theming around the attraction includes: a large-scale
Playskool
baby monitor, which momentarily comes to life with updates on Andy's presence, a "plastic" look-out tower dug down into the sandy ground, and an army base complete with human-size accessories and toy soldiers.
