Carland and the 'Cars' ride - Lets speculate!!

[k_peek_2000]

id prefer a non-clone. With a new track layout. I always like change.

Marcie said Carland would replace Bountiful Valley Farm, not Bug's Land. I picture the removal of the vegetable gardens, farm equipment, fake cow, and sprayground along with the backdrop buildings (farm expo). I don't think that the Bug's Land rides or the Bug's Life 3D movie will disappear.

technically there is no farm it's all a bugs land but I suppose it could remain just the farm buildings and all that stuff that was going to go anyways back when they were looking about building Increadibles


I also don't think they need quite the large amount of of area Ismael is roping of for it (the outdoor section could go through he front half of the farm and the showbuilding could be behind it mostly were the farm buildings are.

I suppose they could keep the main pathway to A Bugs Land open and keep ITTBAB since it's near the entrance and all but I still find it hard to imagine this pocket staying isolated if ToT is ever going to be connected to anything and I'm also not sure how A Bugs Land will hold up without any farm to form a transition (the transition is already pretty weak)

if you look at the map that ismael posted a few pages back you'll see the way the ToT trail is angled there isn't many options besides going into A Bugs Land unless your going to talk about a sudden change in direction for the path and wiping out that entire backstage path

it seems that one way or another A Bugs Land's tranquility could be lost (I really think making the park a complete circle is better overall for the design of the park then A Bugs Land staying isolated)

I would also like to see Hollywood Pictures Backlot turned into Walt Disney Studios, more period specific.....Walt's time. WDI can figure out a new plot for TOT so that really isn't an issue either.
One thing's for sure, it'll be exciting to see all the changes.

I second this.

I was sooo cool over halloween in HPB with the performers walking around with the guests. Disney really should do more of that, hire people in Fantasyland to walk around like european villagers, natives in adventureland, cowboys in frontieerland, surfers in HPB, etc, etc.

Test Track already has a dark ride portion in WDW and then a thrill portion outside so DCA's version should follow the format. I am thrilled to have a show inside. Test Track's show is not very repeatable in my opinion. It seems to be a long delay just for the fast part. An immersive show that recreates the land of Cars sounds much better to me.

I still think much of this attraction will be below grade with Radiator Springs above it with a show building out behind or next to TOT. Just my guess.

I'm sure the Cars ride will have the characters. From the concept art it looks like they greet you at the end of the ride. What I'm saying is the bulk of the film's storyline should be saved for a family dark ride.

Most of the Test Track ride will probably consist of riding around the desert landscape like the Matterhorn and Big Thunder.

While I am excited at the prospect of another E-ticket, I am sort of "Eh" about Test Track. That ride itself is very overrated, and not a great example of quality disney theming. I mean I can drive i na car any day of the week! If they were to actually incorporate a story, some AAs and some real theming (more like a Journey to the center....) then it would be much more worth it. I still have my fingers crossed for an original E-ticket for DCA. It needs something else to set it apart.

Cars, as it looks, would absolutely be that attraction.

People crossing bridges and looking over a racetrack themed with desert landscaping and elements of the film, would be unlike anything anywhere else.

It would not only be an excellent E-ticket attraction, but would supply some much needed energy and anticipation for people in the park.

isn't that what Cars is?

it isn't really test track it's either an overlay or a completly origional layout with the Cars theme and everything just like Journey is

I don't get the complaint

I would rather HPB become "the Hollywood that never was" like in Mgm studios.

Please don't tamper with the Tower! If you change the time period, twilight zone would have to be gone. No tv's. It would be quite difficult to completely retheme the Tower.

I would like to see all of the backlot stuff stay in the "Hollywood Studios" area. It would be cool to see the main stretch as realistic but still fantasy Hollywood.

[tayati]

Journey has some great theming, but it's a bit strange of a story. Maybe I don't get it...

Get in a plow thingie and look at rocks and mushrooms and a middle earth alien thingie then rocket out of a volcano.
The end.

i thought i was the only one that saw it that way. LOL
