Disney has announced that a new game and characters from Toy Story 3 are coming to DCA's Toy Story Midway Mania attraction.

Quote:

New characters from the soon-to-be-released Disney•Pixar film 'Toy Story 3' are being added to the joyful, toy-full adventure of Toy Story Mania! at Disney’s California Adventure and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. In addition to playing with new characters in Toy Story Mania!, there will be opportunities in both parks for up-close fun with another all-new character from 'Toy Story 3' – Lots-o’-Huggin’ Bear. He’s the bossman at Sunnyside Daycare in the highly anticipated animated feature film.

Toy Story [Midway] Mania! – the 4-D interactive ride-game attraction inspired by the Disney•Pixar 'Toy Story' films – is extremely popular with Disney Parks guests on both coasts. This high-energy, immersive adventure puts players squarely in the action as their game play triggers surprises that deliver a fourth dimension of fun. Toy Story Mania! engages guests in a whole new way with delightful characters of 'Toy Story' and 'Toy Story 2.'

Starting in late May, Woody, Buzz, Mr. Potato Head and the gang are joined by a whole new set of characters from 'Toy Story 3.' The new game greeting guests, 'Rex and Trixie’s Dino Darts,' invites riders to shoot their virtual darts at all-new balloon targets in a primeval world filled with volcanoes and lava balloons, explained Sue Bryan, senior show producer, director, Walt Disney Imagineering.

Game players are welcomed by Rex (the nervous Tyrannosaurus rex) and his new friend Trixie (a blue Triceratops and one of the toy characters from the new film) cheering them on. The new game (replacing 'Bo Peep’s Baaa-loon Pop') turns up the fun with more hidden surprises and the potential for volcanic levels of excitement. Other changes:

The 'Hamm & Eggs' game will now be hosted by Hamm and Buttercup (a toy unicorn with heart-shaped nostrils).
In the prize scene, Trixie, Buttercup, Dolly (a doll), Mr. Pricklepants (a lederhosen-clad hedgehog) and one other surprise – all from 'Toy Story 3' – will appear with Woody and Jessie.

'Our number-one goal in creating Toy Story [Midway] Mania! was to come up with game-play challenges appropriate for all guests, from little kids to serious gamers,' Bryan said. 'I love that we are keeping things fresh and new by adding these great new friends and fun to join some of the most popular characters of all time.'
