Cars area coming to Magic Kingdom

My guess is this version won’t have a high speed section, which saves a ton of space. I think that’s why they made a point to talk about the elevation/terrain stuff, assuming that’s where the bulk of the “thrill” for this ride would come from (for better or worse).

So essentially Indiana Jones levels of intensity, but faster and real.

My guess is that it’s some version of this ride system. The near miss ability of this ride system could be a good replacement to the racing element of RSR.

My guess is that it’s some version of this ride system. I remember them touting some kind of near miss ability of this ride system during IAAPA, which could be a good replacement to the racing element of RSR.

Bringing the first real world utilization of any system like this to the busiest theme park in the world is a recipe for disaster.

I think it would benefit Disney to shed some light on the ride system just to calm the nerves of people worried that we'll lose the Rivers of America for a ride that won't work or will close frequently in inclement weather.

I'd imagine that would be costly to continually replace those expensive tires, and other parts, with the grueling 12-14 hours daily park operation.
