Marvel-lous Facts 🚗🟠
-
RC Racer is themed entirely around Andy’s iconic remote-control car from Toy Story—right down to the orange track and giant Hot Wheels details.
-
The ride was manufactured by Intamin, who are basically the Formula 1 of rollercoaster designers.
-
The queue itself is a massive part of the fun! You’ll wind your way through Andy’s giant racetrack, weaving between huge Hot Wheels pieces, mega tools, and toy boxes. The sense of scale is brilliant—you feel like you’ve shrunk down and joined the race before you even board!
-
The whole area is designed to make YOU feel toy-sized. Yes, it’s a real “Honey, I Shrunk the Guests” moment.
What to Expect 😱
-
You’ll climb into a massive orange RC car with space for 20 brave souls.
-
The car is winched up and down a huge U-shaped track—think giant swing, but vertical!
-
You’ll experience weightlessness (“airtime”) at both ends—cue the stomach flips and wild laughter.
-
The ride gets higher and faster with each swing—finale is a real ‘white knuckles’ moment.
-
Awesome Toy Story tunes and bright visuals all around.

-
Not for the faint-hearted or anyone with a sensitive tummy—the airtime is the real deal.
