Disney's California Adventure will be sprinkling Pixar dust on the new Toy Story Mania!, based on the Disney-Pixar Toy Story films. The interactive 3-D ride will offer video game-style fun. It will use a carnival midway theme and will move guests through a series of 3-D-enhanced "game booths" where they will rack up points by using onboard toy cannon controllers. For example, guests will throw virtual darts at balloons in one scene; in another, they will toss rings onto a variety of objects. Characters from the films, such as Woody and the Little Green Men, will coach the players. Here, a construction fence outside the attraction includes posters trumpeting the new ride.
