    Rocket Rods XPR? I need some help on this!

    I was checking Once Upon A Time In Anheim website and it said that one of the things in Rocket Rods stated that it would expand to Star Tours,Space Mountain,DCA,WDW,Edison Field,and something else. I am very confused about this whole thing and my assumption is that guests were a test pliot for a vehicle? Is this true? I need a bit more explaination.

    Rocket Rods were a prototype vehicle for the future. They were supposed to get you to your destination at a faster rate of speed. I don't think it was really going to expand, it was just another thing to look at in the waiting area. I miss it now...

    Yes, the whole theme for Rocket Rods was an experimental transportation system, that would eventually go other places. There was a map showing it's expansion, but this was just fictional, there were no plans for Rocket Rods to go beyond Tomorrowland. They aren't going anywhere, anymore.

    I was seriously confused... I thought this was an actual Test Track... like you were the test people.

    When I first went on rocket rods and saw that, I thought it was real. But then I was a bit saddened when I found out that it wasn't real.

    yeah, it was the "planned expansion" of the rocket rods. just for theming. much like the PeopleMover (TTA) in WDW. people ride the "blue line" (I think it's blue, it may be another color). but throughout the ride, there are many references to various other (nonexistant) transportation lines.

    A Rocket Rod often couldn't even make it to the Hatmosphere before crapping out. It would be absurd for it to go to LAX. Also, it is slow loading, intense, has high costs to run, looks ridiculous, and has no plausible way to get there. It is obvious that it is a joke when you think about it.
