Popular Coaster Back Online at Hollywood Studios
Slinky Dog Dash reopened at Disney’s Hollywood Studios around 11:15am. The Toy Story Land coaster is currently posting a 2-hour wait time. Disney has not commented on what caused the latest downtime, and the company also hasn’t said what repairs, if any, were made before today’s reopening.
This is the second time Slinky Dog Dash has come back online in the past few days. The coaster previously reopened on September 3rd following three consecutive days of closure. It then went back down again after operating for a few minutes during Early Entry. It’s unclear whether today’s reopening addressed the same underlying issue or a separate one.
A Rough Stretch for a Toy Story Land Favorite
Slinky Dog Dash has had a difficult few days. The trouble began on August 31st, when the coaster did not operate at any point during the day. From there, the closure stretched into a second day on September 1st. By September 2nd, the shutdown had reached a third consecutive day. That same day, a ride vehicle was found stranded on the tracks at the coaster’s second launch, with an open electrical panel visible nearby.
