And Disney has also released a new video clip and pictures showing the ride in action.

Another attraction planned for families is the Alien Swirling Saucers, which are described as a galactic play set that Andy has won from Pizza Planet.

It will see the little green aliens, made famous in the movies, swirl about in their flying saucers with guests in tow in their rocket ship toys, while ‘The Claw’ hangs overhead.

Meanwhile, one of the most beloved attractions at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Toy Story Mania!, which opened in 2008, gets an all-new colourful toy carnival game box entrance when the new land opens.

Recently updated with a third track, the popular attraction will put even more guests in the carnival playset action taking aim at 3D objects – using everything from baseballs to cream pies – in a variety of whimsical, fast-paced games. 

And for those that are hungry, restaurant Woody’s Lunch Box will serve up tasty meals and old-fashioned soda floats from a walk-up window setting.

Bob Chapek, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts previously said: ‘With set pieces, staging, attractions and experiences Toy Story Land represents the best of Walt Disney Imagineering’s collaboration with our storytelling partners at Pixar Animation Studios.

But Toy Story Land isn’t the only new attraction to open at a Disney park in the US this summer.

At Disney’s California Adventure Park, work is ongoing to transform Paradise Pier into Pixar Pier, which will include the Incredicoaster, inspired by the Incredibles film.

Meanwhile at Universal Orlando, a Fast & Furious – Supercharged attraction is to open featuring the characters, cars and music from the movies of the same name.
