OK, this one slipped by me, but here's a shot of Kevin Jonas (left) and Joe Jonas -- two-thirds of the pop act Jonas Brothers -- taking a preview spin on Toy Story Mania at Disney's Hollywood Studios on April 30. They were here for the taping of Disney Channel Games.
I share this because it's a decent shot of the ride vehicle: two players on one side, two more back-to-back of these Jonases. You can also see the "spring-action shooters" -- but not so much the launchers of them.
I had trouble visualing how it worked before actually riding -- couldn't figure out how the pull "string" retracted. I was thinking small. Duh. Think of it more as the thickness of a lawn mower pull cord -- but it only comes out 4 inches or so. ...
And remember the tip that the shooter won't launch again until the string has gone fully back in. We found guiding it back to original position manually -- but rapidly -- was an effective way to go.
