Slinky Dog Dash is one of the most popular attractions at Walt Disney World’s Toy Story Land, located in Hollywood Studios. The family-friendly coaster takes guests on a fun, winding ride through a brightly colored landscape inspired by the world of Toy Story. Riders are seated in a long “Slinky Dog” train, which zips along curves, drops, and playful twists.
While the attraction itself is considered safe, like all theme park rides, accidents can happen, especially in the queue area. It remains unclear how the young boy sustained the head injury.

While there have been no updates from the family, those who witnessed the event remain hopeful for good news. Slinky Dog Dash continues to be one of the most beloved attractions at Hollywood Studios, known for its lighthearted thrills and Toy Story nostalgia. However, today’s incident serves as a reminder that unexpected events can occur even in the most magical of places.
The thoughts and prayers of the Disney community are with the family as everyone awaits updates on the child’s condition. As always, it is important to keep an eye on your children and ensure that they are following all safety protocols.
