Toy Soldiers Parachute Drop, Parachute tower ride in Walt Disney Studios Park, France and Hong Kong Disneyland.
Toy Soldiers Parachute Drop is a parachute tower ride where visitors are lifted high into the air before experiencing controlled freefall sequences. The ride features multiple drops at different speeds to create varied sensations throughout the experience.
The ride first opened at Walt Disney Studios Park near Paris in August 2010 and was later installed in Hong Kong just over a year after. This expansion to different parks demonstrated the popularity of Toy Story theming across continents.
The ride is themed after a scene from Toy Story where Green Army Men descend with parachutes to investigate birthday gifts at a birthday party. This reference shapes how visitors experience and understand the entire ride.
Visitors should note the height requirement before visiting, as this determines who can ride independently or with an adult. Early morning or late afternoon typically offers shorter wait times if you prefer to avoid crowds.
A large Playskool walkie-talkie sits in the queue area and broadcasts announcements about Andy, tying the theme back to the toy storyline. A separate area called Fort Emery references the location of Pixar's California headquarters.
