'''Woody's Roundup''' (styled '''Woody's Round-Up''') is a whip ride in Disney·Pixar Toy Story Land at [[Shanghai Disneyland]]. Guests ride in carts pulled by toy ponies which swing from side to side as they circle, in a square dance led by Sheriff Woody. It opened on April 26, 2018, as one of the three rides of Toy Story Land, the park's first expansion, and it was the only one of the three created new for Shanghai.<ref>{{cite web |title=Shanghai Disneyland's Toy Story Land officially opens April 26, 2018 |website=Attractions Magazine |url=https://attractionsmagazine.com/shanghai-disneyland-announces-toy-story-land-expansion-opening-summer-2018/ |access-date=2026-11-14}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Toy Story Land |website=Wikipedia |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toy_Story_Land |access-date=2026-11-14}}</ref><br />

== History ==<br />
<br />
Shanghai Disney Resort announced Toy Story Land on November 9, 2016, less than five months after the park opened, when Bob Iger of The Walt Disney Company, Bob Chapek of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts and Fan Xiping of the Shanghai Shendi Group broke ground on the expansion. The land was built between Tomorrowland and Fantasyland and designed to the scale of Andy's backyard in the ''Toy Story'' films, so that guests feel toy-sized among oversized playthings.<ref>{{cite web |title=Toy Story Land |website=Wikipedia |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toy_Story_Land |access-date=2026-11-14}}</ref> Detailed plans followed on November 30, 2017, when the resort confirmed the land would open in 2018 with three attractions and a character greeting area, and named Woody's Round-Up as its centrepiece ride.<ref>{{cite web |title=Concept Art & Details Released for Shanghai Disneyland's Toy Story Land, Opening Summer 2018 |website=WDW News Today |url=https://wdwnt.com/2017/11/concept-art-details-released-shanghai-disneylands-toy-story-land-opening-summer-2018/ |access-date=2026-11-14}}</ref><br />
<br />
Toy Story Land opened on April 26, 2018, as the seventh themed land at Shanghai Disneyland and the park's first post-opening expansion. Its other two rides, [[Rex's Racer]] and Slinky Dog Spin, were versions of attractions already operating in the Toy Story lands at Hong Kong Disneyland and Walt Disney Studios Park in Paris. Woody's Roundup had no such predecessor: it applied an existing Disney ride system to a new theme, and it remains the Shanghai land's signature original attraction.<ref>{{cite web |title=Toy Story Land opens at Shanghai Disneyland |website=Theme Park Insider |url=https://www.themeparkinsider.com/flume/201804/6074/ |access-date=2026-11-14}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Comparing Toy Story Lands around the World |website=Skyway to Wonderland |url=https://www.skywaytowonderland.com/comparing-toy-story-lands-around-the-world/ |access-date=2026-11-14}}</ref><br />

The attraction is presented as one of Andy's playsets: a Western town and stable set up at the edge of the backyard, where Woody and Jessie have let the toy ponies out to play. The queue follows a desert path past a dried-out creek and over small bridges, passing "Wanted" posters and other ''Toy Story'' props before reaching the pony pen where guests board. Next to the ride stands the Meeting Post, a row of Old West façades — sheriff's office, saloon and bank — used for character greetings with Woody, Jessie and Bullseye.<ref>{{cite web |title=Woody's Round-Up |website=Disney Wiki |url=https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Woody%27s_Round-Up |access-date=2026-11-14}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Shanghai Disneyland's Toy Story Land officially opens April 26, 2018 |website=Attractions Magazine |url=https://attractionsmagazine.com/shanghai-disneyland-announces-toy-story-land-expansion-opening-summer-2018/ |access-date=2026-11-14}}</ref><br />
<br />
Each cart is hitched behind a pony, and the ride works as a whip: as the ponies circle the corral on their turntables, the carts swing outward and from side to side at each change of direction, to country-flavoured music played from a toy radio, including "You've Got a Friend in Me". The mechanism is the same one used by Mater's Junkyard Jamboree in Cars Land at Disney California Adventure, and by Alien Swirling Saucers at Disney's Hollywood Studios, in each case with different theming. Although the premise and styling are aimed at families, the whipping motion is brisker than the land's other spinner, Slinky Dog Spin, and the ride carries a minimum height requirement of 81 cm (32 in).<ref>{{cite web |title=Woody's Round-Up |website=Disney Wiki |url=https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Woody%27s_Round-Up |access-date=2026-11-14}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Shanghai Disneyland Height Requirements |website=Deep Arrival |url=https://deeparrival.com/theme-parks/shanghai-disneyland/height-requirements/ |access-date=2026-11-14}}</ref><br />
