Slinky Dog Dash is closed again this morning at Disney's Hollywood Studios, continuing a rough stretch for the Toy Story Land family coaster.

The ride did not open at all yesterday, August 31. This morning, an hour after park opening, it still has not opened.

This is the latest in a string of extended closures for Slinky Dog Dash over the past week:

  • August 28: down for more than 4 hours
  • August 29: down for 7 hours
  • August 31: closed all day
  • September 1: still closed, one hour into the park day

Disney hasn't said what's causing the issue. It's unusual for a ride to stay closed for a full day and then not reopen the next morning after overnight maintenance. That pattern suggests the fix isn't a quick one.

All it takes is a broken part they don’t have in their stock and having to wait for a shipment from the mfr

Don't even try... everyone is so convinced the Pixie Dust is real that they expect that nothing might have a breakdown that can't be fixed by snapping ones fingers and asking for magic.

I never had the opportunity to ask Rhode if it was a boy yeti or a girl yeti…let’s fix the arm first THEN we can work on “internals”…
I guess everyone that wants to ride it is just gonna have to... HANG ON!

Based on the fact that it seems to always be angry my guess would be _______________________!

Fill in the blank on your own, I'm not going to venture a guess.

I will believe when I see it.

If I live that long.
As of 6pm, Slinky is down. The park looks pretty empty. MMRR- 15, Rise-15, TSM-20, ToT-13, only RNRC is 45.

Rain really dampened (no pun intended) things at most of the parks today. Back to back on Tower in 30 minutes. And then more rain. TSM was 20 listed and about 12 actual.
