Live now: Slinky Dog Dash wait & status

Toy Soldiers Parachute Drop, the Toy Story attraction in the Worlds of Pixar land at Disney Adventure World at Disneyland Paris, closed for refurbishment on Thursday, September 3, 2026. The ride is reported to reopen on September 10, 2026.

As of Thursday, September 3, 2026, the closure is described in reports as routine refurbishment work, with construction walls up around the tower. Disney Adventure World is the park formerly known as Walt Disney Studios Park.

According to reports, guests are not expected to see visible changes when the attraction returns — the work is characterized as maintenance on ride systems and touch-ups to decorative elements in the attraction and its queue rather than a redesign.

Separately, reports also point to technical problems affecting Slinky Dog Dash in Toy Story Land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World, with that ride down on an open-ended basis rather than a posted refurbishment schedule.

Toy Soldiers Parachute Drop opened at the Paris park in 2010 and has no counterpart at Walt Disney World or Disneyland Resort; a version of the same attraction opened at Hong Kong Disneyland in 2011. Disneyland Paris describes it as an 82-foot drop over a toy army base.

What we know

What’s not confirmed

The September 10 reopening comes from reports rather than an official Disney statement, and refurbishment end dates commonly move. Disney has not announced any scope of work, and no return date has been given for Slinky Dog Dash.

What it means for your trip

If you’re at Disneyland Paris this week, treat the Parachute Drop as gone for the visit and don’t build a Worlds of Pixar plan around it — Ratatouille and Crush’s Coaster absorb that demand, so hit them earlier than you normally would.

If you’re arriving the weekend of September 11 or later, still check the ride’s status the morning of your park day rather than assuming the date held.

For Hollywood Studios, an open-ended Slinky Dog Dash outage is the bigger planning problem: it is Toy Story Land’s headliner and one of the fastest Lightning Lane Multi Pass selections to disappear. If it’s down when your 7:00 AM booking window opens, take Tower of Terror or Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster instead of holding out, and rope-drop Toy Story Mania. SupaPark’s live status alerts will ping you the moment a ride like Slinky Dog Dash comes back up, so you can grab the return time in My Disney Experience before the crowd notices.
