From the rock work orgy in California to a screenz show in Orlando, how deep has this ip fallen for the mouse? Isn't Disney going to do anything to add some relief to the stampede for Star Wars (besides selling up-charge tickets to "give" guests a change to see Edge without the hordes). Oh wait I think I know the answer.

I mean I have two reasons: one is box office and another is a creep in Hawaiian shirts.

Cars actually has two of the worst performing movies in Pixar’s catalog.

It’s not box office, it’s merchandising.

Which is fine, I'm sure. A dollar box office spends just as well as a dollar from merch.

What has Magnum PI has to do with it?
Still I couldn't care less for movie profits or crap sold but a good ride is a good ride. But it's clear Disney has different thoughts on that.

On this point I agree. Are we just going to ban all Pixar from the parks because Lasseter was associated with it? Of course not.

HOWEVER, this is not a downgrade from Carsland/RSR because this is most certainly not trying to be an E-Ticket. You’re comparing as if these were meant to be on the same level when this was just a last ditch effort to get a little more capacity into the park.

That’s not the point of my comment.

Disneyhead has hinted that Carsland was a placating move by Iger towards Pixar. Disney wanted Lassiter to do more with the parks and he pushed his favorite projects to the front. Now that there’s no champion for Cars (because of weak box office) it’s hard to find anyone wanting to back the brand with a huge attraction. That is why I responded that Lassiter leaving is why Disney went from Carsland to this.

Quick and dirty build inside a multi-use building. I'm surprised it's not something even simpler (like the Incredibles thing near Toy Story Land).

Yeah, we should thank our lucky stars they even planned for this and it's not just a meet-and-greet or another indoor dance party like they've had in this space. Plus, Cars has zero presence in the parks other than the Cruz meet-and-greet (if that's even still there?) and the AoA hotel.

Cruz is gone for now, but she’ll be moved nearby this new show when it opens.

All this talk of lightning being on a simulator, could it possibly be a cheaper version of Doc from Radiator Springs Racers?

Well after seeing this I’m starting to think it’ll just be the screen and no physical Lightning. They show animators animating Lightning for the show, and Cruz is the one shown in the racing training thing, also animated.

I think it was always going to be a bit of a reach to expect anything other than an animated show.

There will be a physical element as someone has been contracted to build a thematic show element. Permit for the work was recently found.

Yup.

With this show opening, It’d be nice if we could get a show changeout at BATB or LM over the summer before the SW crowds hit. A replacement could easily be open before Galaxy’s Edge.

Wasn't there a rumor of a Tangled replacement for BATB? A Jim Hill special if I recall
