Absolutely loved it! A lot more than I thought I would.
Question though...There was a whole article about how the movie voice actor for Potato Head provided the voice for the AA. I found it really interesting when Potato Head would talk to the crowd, and say specific things about the people in front of him ("Sir, why are you wearing your backpack on your front? It's called a backpack"). So if there is a voice actor providing the lines, why the big stink about the use of the original voice actor?
And where is he controlled from? My friend and I had a few theories about the mirrors above him...

Don Rickles recorded a huge variety of one-liners and sayings that are controlled by a CM somewhere. When they see someone in the queue that fits a particular line, they can control Mr. PH to say that.

I wonder why two people choose "poor" without giving a review.
Maybe it was "Poor" because they were just sitting at home, and haven't even gone near it.
:lol:

Or they saw an on-ride video which of course does not do it justice. :animwink:
I couldn't really hear Mr. Potato Head very well... but the whole deal where he PULLS HIS EAR OUT was AWESOME!!! :sohappy:

I believe, judging from the blueprints that were leaked, along with some other info that the control room is somewhere on the North side of the building (Don't remember exactly where) by the exit area.

Rode it today (five times) and it was great. First vehicle I was in the guns did not work. Also one of the screens was blank and not working. Third trip one screen was out of focus and each time I rode, engineers were riding and/or working on various parts of the attraction. This might be the reason for the two poor votes.
Now, the queue is fantastic. Will keep guests engrossed duringthe long wait times that should happen when it opens. For those of us really "old" folks, there are many memories that will be activitated in that queue.
The ride is very smooth and the seats are very comfortable. You can actually see the track changing when it needs to send vehicles in a different path.
The guns work great and are a lot better on the hands then Buzz as well as being easier to aim.
It will be a hit will adults that are young at heart and the little ones. Not sure about teenagers other than being in a video game and trying for the highest score (which was 281,000+ when I rode today).
Also found two hidden mickeys.

I'm a Florida Resident, and I'll be going down to WDW for Mother's Day Weekend, which also happens to be the Passholder Preview weekend for Toy Story Mania. I was originally going to buy the Play 3 Day Pass, but I started thinking that I should just buy a FL Resident Seasonal Pass. I'll probably be back a WDW within a year (almost certainly) and it's less than $100 more than the Play 3 Day Pass (with park-hopper option). I used to have a Seasonal pass a few years ago, and I can't remember if Seasonal Pass holders are eligible for Passholder Previews of rides. It would be the icing on the cake of my visit if I could get a ride on Toy Story Mania. Do Seasonal passes qualify for the preview?
Seems to have been around 30 mins early on Friday, then up to sustained waits of around 60 mins, peaking to 90 mins on Sunday.

Yes, a Florida Resident Seasonal Pass is a form of annual pass. It is accepted at all Passholder Preview Events. I say this with personal knowledge, for I have held both a Florida Resident Seasonal and Annual, and both are covered under the “passholder” umbrella. Basically, anything that goes inside one of the little “Passholder” booklets is valid for Passholder Events.
