Disney has created a new ride, Toy Story: Midway Mania, a fast paced shoot'em up ride in hopes to attract gamers to the park. I could have sworn they did something like this already with the Buzz Lightyear ride.
What do you get when you combine a shoot-'em-up video game with an amusement park ride?
Disney hopes you get a way to lure jaded gamers off the couch and to one of its theme parks.
Walt Disney Imagineering melded the interactive elements of a video game with the kind of immersive 3-D experience of an amusement park to create Toy Story Midway Mania, a ride opening today at Disney's California Adventure park in Anaheim.
Riders don 3-D glasses, board a vehicle and travel through carnival games hosted by familiar characters from the "Toy Story" movies. They move in rapid-fire fashion past giant screens displaying classic games of skill, reinterpreted through Pixar Animation Studios' stylized palette. There's Buzz Lightyear's ring toss, Woody's Rootin' Tootin' Shootin' Gallery and Bo Peep's dart throw. The 3-D characters coax players through each game, offering tips and encouragement.

Whats with the linking to all of those Disney games?
Well, I don't really like Disney, so I would never really be interested in such a ride or attraction
