Disney's California Adventure Overhaul

[Andy]

Ha, so there using CAVE technology to design rides but not in their rides?? I just don't understand WDI sometimes. I mean years ago there were rumors of adding this exact tech to the Great Movie Ride but it never happened. Its been on the table so many times and while there is a chance we will see in Ratatouille, it just cracks me up the first time I see WDI using CAVE tech is in a ride design sim.

^What I would give to be in that room :drool5:

You have already been in that room... it is called "The Amazing Adventures of Spider Man". Hatetofly really snapped me to the fact that Disney is just missing the point. Their design tools are better than their attractions.

As much as I find it dumb to base a whole land off Cars, and as worried I am about RSR's not living up to its insane hype level and budget, the land is BEAUTIFUL.

No thanks to both. But if I had to choose, I'd choose the land that won't be dated 10 years from now.

Building an entire land on one film couldnt possibly work...oh wait.

Cars are always going to be around so I disagree. If anything it would be a classic.

Cars are always going to be around so I disagree.

Cars and Cars are two incredibly separate things.

And Cars 2 did significantly worse in the US market than Cars, so IDK how popular the franchise is overall.

It'll be a huge success this year though. No doubt.

I meant like automobiles, and this is what this land is about. "Cars" are always going to be around, of course technology might change what we know of cars now but there always going to be here. You can go into this land without knowing what the movie is about and still enjoy it, like the WWOHP. But let me keep quite until it opens. :-X

No, that's what the design of the land was originally about. Before Lasseter took over and force fed his baby into it. There's nothing about car culture here.

They put familiar faces and took scenes from the movies and made them physical, but its still about "cars/automobiles". It makes the land more kid friendly and more Disney. Of course there's car culture here.

What's with the waterfall??? There aren't waterfalls in that desert. :stunned:

Dude, Carsland is about car culture in the same way Transformers is.

And "more Disney"? Please.

It's in the movie.

Reports saying RSR is 4 minutes long.

I'd be lying if I wasn't expecting a longer ride.
