Ride experience

= Queue =

Entering a queue line formed out of Lincoln Logs building blocks, visitors eventually step inside the giant box itself, which has a retro-styled boardgame printed on its inside.

= Ride =

The giant Slinky Dog train is connected end-to-end, travelling in a loop around a dog bowl filled with rubber bones and Andy's baseball. It builds up enough speed to provide a mild thrill. This ride is the tamest attraction in the land, simply offering a continuous, circular ride up and down a relatively gentle incline. The layout takes advantage of the land's sloping elevation to create the illusion of being shrunk, especially when visitors stand at the foot of the ride, its enormous box towering above, surrounded by oversized grass.{{Cite web |date=2012-03-17 |title=Slinky Dog Zigzag Spin |url=https://photosmagiques.com/gallery/walt-disney-studios-park/toon-studio/slinky-dog-zigzag-spin/ |access-date=2023-01-13 |website=Photos Magiques |language=en}}{{Cite web |title=Slinky Dog ZigZag Spin |url=https://dlptips.com/things-to-do/walt-disney-studios-rides/slinky-dog-zigzag-spin/ |access-date=2023-01-13 |website=Disneyland Paris tips, advice & planning |language=en-US}}
