I enjoyed Toy Story Mania the ride at Disneyland’s California Adventure so much that the first time I went on it, I immediately got back in line and rode it two more times. That doesn’t include the evening trip back for a total of four rides in one day.
Toy Story Mania the ride is basically a midway shooting game, think Duck Hunt in 4D. You hop onto a moving vehicle, get a pair of 3D glasses and move through a series of large TV screens, shooting various objects to get points with your electronic zapper. What makes the attraction so addicting is the complexity of each level, such as hidden Easter eggs, and the competitive nature of seeing who can get the most points. Fortunately, the creators of Toy Story Mania the video game have captured the addicting fun of the ride so you can play 365 days a year without having to splurge for theme park admission.
