Slinky Dog Dash Tips

  • Scary Factor: Not inherently scary. It’s family-friendly and does not go upside down, but young children may initially find it intimidating. Many grow to love it after trying it.
  • Speed: Slinky Dog Dash reaches a top speed of 40 mph, offering moderate thrills suitable for first-time coaster riders and families.
  • Ride Duration: Approximately 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
  • Drops: Features one main drop (50 feet) and a few smaller drops. These are gentle and designed to be fun rather than intense.
  • Pregnancy Advisory: Not recommended for pregnant guests due to small drops, turns, and moments of acceleration.
  • Accessibility: ECV users must transfer to a wheelchair then to the ride vehicle. Most power wheelchairs are accommodated in accessible queues. Guests can request an ADA car for easier transfers. Service animals not permitted.
  • Sensory Advisory: Includes moments of acceleration, sudden turns, and vibrant lighting in an outdoor setting. Loud coaster sounds may be noticeable.
  • Plus-Size Friendly: One of the most plus-size-friendly rides at Hollywood Studios. Features individual lap bar restraints accommodating a range of body sizes.
  • Best Age Group: Ideal for kids aged 4 and up and entertaining for families and riders of all ages. A great introduction to roller coasters.
