I for one am so excited for Radiator Spring Racers and uhh...Mater's Junkyard Jamboree (that's the 'outside dark ride', right?). 2012 couldn't come soon enough.

I was going to post some concept art, but I can't find any.

(Editing Note: Carsland is rumored to be located in the current Timon Parking Lot at the Disneyland Resort)

I think the one I'm most looking forward to is the Tire ride. But everything going in there is going to be really cool.

So...is it 2012 yet?

[Snoopy]

Only if you want it to be.

Yesterday I was able to hear a panel discussion by Imagineers at a conference I was attending and Carsland was a big feature. Lots of deatails and pictures were shared. Radiator Springs is supposed to be a sequel to the movie. The experiences in the land will not include the Cars characters, except in the attractions. Mater is supposed to be leading a square-dance calling out moves from his shed. And Radiator Springs Racers is going to be AMAZING. Great story inside followed by a race outside. The concept art told the story well. I can't wait!!!!

Luigi's will be a shop at the exit of RSR. Flo's V8 Cafe will be a food location. There will be shade trees, unlike the movie, and they are actually doing studies to see how shade trees will add to or hurt the show. I have so much respect for what Imagineers do. The nine I saw yesterday made me want to just watch them work. What talented people.

Sounds great, except:

Luigi's will be a shop at the exit of RSR.

Will there be no end to the gift shops at the exit of E-Tickets?

Don't get me wrong. A Luigi's gift shop sounds really cool. Just not at the exit of a ride.

Potential spoiler follows:

The story inside the show building, based on what was shown in the presentation, includes an encounter with Mack, Mater and a tractor tipping scene, then being chased by the big red harvester (I forgot his name), Radiator Springs at night with Sally, getting a paint job and tire replacement before lining up to drag race like that scene from Cars where McQueen and Sally go for that drive together. There appears to be a water splash area too.

Really there were just a few concept pieces that I hadn't seen before. The narrative of the story was explained by the Imagineer.

Things can change, but they were all excited about their trip down Route 66 they were taking in a couple weeks with Pixar and they sounded like they wanted to break ground tomorrow!

What really wrong with that though?

I kind of know how you feel, but its not like they force you to buy stuff.

Me too.
