Slinky Dog Dash Down Over an Hour at Hollywood Studios

Published October 14, 2026

Live now: Slinky Dog Dash wait & status

Slinky Dog Dash at Disney’s Hollywood Studios has been showing as closed since Wednesday, October 14 at 6:30 PM ET, according to SupaPark’s live ride-status tracking. As of Wednesday, October 14 at 7:32 PM ET, the coaster has been down for 1 hour and 1 minute straight, and the status has not changed.

The outage falls inside the ride’s own observed operating window today, so this is not the ride winding down for a scheduled park closing. SupaPark’s tracking takes ride-status snapshots every five minutes.

For scale: the longest single continuous Slinky Dog Dash outage SupaPark measured in the trailing 30 days was 5 hours and 55 minutes, on September 26, 2026. Tonight’s stretch is well short of that.

Disney has not announced a cause or an estimated return time, and nothing here comes from a Disney statement — these figures are SupaPark’s own first-party measurements. Unplanned ride downtime at Walt Disney World is usually temporary and often resolves the same day, but there is no confirmed reopening time to report.

What we know

Updated 8:02 PM ET, Wednesday, October 14 with new reporting.

What’s not confirmed

There is no announced reason for the closure and no announced reopening time. SupaPark’s data reports status only — closed versus operating — not why.

What it means for your trip

If you are in Hollywood Studios right now and holding a Lightning Lane Multi Pass selection for Slinky Dog Dash, your window may be affected while the ride is down; Disney typically converts an affected Multi Pass selection into flexible redemption at another eligible attraction, so check your selection in My Disney Experience before walking to Toy Story Land.

Spend the gap on something close by rather than standing in Toy Story Land. Alien Swirling Saucers and Toy Story Mania! are steps away, and Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway back toward Hollywood Boulevard is a strong evening pivot when the Toy Story Land crowd redistributes.

Expect a standby surge if the ride comes back tonight — everyone who was waiting reloads at once. The cleaner play is to let that first wave pass and return closer to the end of the evening.

If Slinky Dog Dash is a must-ride for your group, SupaPark’s ride alerts can ping you the moment it flips back to operating, so you are not refreshing your phone in line for something else.

One planning note for families: Slinky Dog Dash has a 38-inch height requirement, so if you are using the downtime to rearrange your evening around a shorter rider, Toy Story Mania! and Alien Swirling Saucers are the lower-threshold options in the same land.

SupaPark tracks live wait times and crowd forecasts, and pings you the second a hard-to-get reservation opens or a ride goes walk-on — free to start at supapark.com.
