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.
Toy Soldiers Parachute Drop opened with Toy Story Playland at Walt Disney Studios Park (now Disney Adventure World) near Paris on August 17, 2010. The Hong Kong Disneyland version, in Toy Story Land, followed on November 17, 2011. An earlier plan to build the ride at Disney California Adventure was dropped in favour of the Maliboomer space-shot attraction.
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.
The queue passes a large-scale Playskool baby monitor that briefly comes to life with updates on Andy's presence. The tower stands over 80 feet tall between the Slinky Dog Zigzag Spin and RC Racer, and the surrounding theming includes a plastic-lookout tower dug into the sandy ground and an army base with human-size toy accessories.
