I dunno, I liked Cars 2 and there's at least 5 of us in the world that liked it
I wasn’t a huge fan of it, but we sold a heckuva’ lot of Cars 2 merch when I was a CM at our local mall Disney Store.

A potential problem I can see with this is that it’s an outdoor off-road race.
I guess they’d hafta’ try to make it a dark ride similar to the nighttime portions of the Baja 1,000…?!

I would suggest that perhaps a different theme might be chosen. Although the indoor portions are the absolute highlight of Racers, so…A potential problem I can see with this is that it’s an outdoor off-road race.

I think all the concept renderings I’ve seen have shown an outdoor attraction…?
Also, I thought I saw way back in the thread that the new ride tech for this is already quite far along…?
And another thought I just had is, if this was to become an indoor attraction, where would they need to put it to hide the huge ride building…?
Just a few thoughts.

We don't see totally eye-eye on SWL, which I think is a class above TSL and Avengers, but I broadly agree with you. Purely as a land I would give it to Diagon, but if we are also taking into account quality of attractions I rate RSR vastly higher than Gringotts, which would make me give the edge overall to Carsland. (I haven't been to Epic yet)

Weird. All these features were open last Saturday when we were there.

People forget examples like Mermaid Lagoon at Tokyo DisneySea because they predate the trend set by Wizarding World, but my vote goes to Mysterious Island from the same park. "Immersive" by any definition with two excellent rides instead of one great ride and then one or two side dishes.
Unless it doesn't count because it's not a super accurate recreation of any specific Verne novel and goes off script in adapting the 1954 Disney movie and mixing its sources.
Arabian Coast is also wonderful, and all the better for not just being "Aladdin Land" and drawing from a broader set of influences.

I think Disney has a “villain” problem. They’ve eschewed using conventional villains in many of their WDAS and Pixar films in recent years, and the Villains show feels very off tonally. I don’t know that they have the stomach to lean into the evil/badness of the characters, and as a result their recent attempts come off as toothless camp.

Cars shouldn't take itself too seriously either, which I don't think it will. The name Piston Peak is already enough to convince me they won't.

After my first visit today to DL and being in awe of their maximization of limited space, their actually competent LL system, as well as adequate capacity and flow (which enables the multi-LL system to exist. Can’t be feasible with the Orlando parks pithy capacity. I’m sure the execs are weeping over this self created, anti guest problem they can monetize )
The decision to remove RoA for yet *another* replacement rather than pure expansion, is virtually indefensible. It boggles my mind that there are some tripping over themselves to rationalize WDW give away their biggest advantage over Cali and abject failure to significantly improve capacity

So, I guess, once again, WDW gets a smaller but somewhat different (and possibly less impactful) version of something great that DL has?

Maybe, just maybe, if all of these people that haven't ever been, or haven't been in a long time, are flooding over to TSI/ROA "for one last time", had been making regular visits there for years, we wouldn't have to see it being removed.

Will have to see the final product - I think potential for Piston Peak to be beautiful and the flowing water, etc can be really nice ... BUT will definitely be different and won't be a "world" we know so won't have that same impact of stepping into something you saw (and potentially loved) on screen
The moment the lights come on each night in Cars Land at DCA is amazing, but part of the "feel" it gives you is you have known about and seen Flo's for years ... So that aspect won't happen in WDW - but could also provide some serene elements, will have to see

Based purely on scale... WDW's car's ride/area will be smaller on the sqft scale... but you can almost fit RSR into the current park:

So it seems... If they had chosen an appropriate location for the attraction to be set in....something from the film... It is the same thing they did with SWL...a location that matches northing from the films.... I would rather have a clone of the complete Disneyland version than any other off-model variation....
and of course, all the water features etc on the cartoon map will most likely be scaled back or disappear before it gets through budgeting... lol

That’s the trick here (and why I think this is somewhat of a less than optimal use of space). It’s difficult to give it the full RSR treatment (especially when a large portion of the ride is supposed to accentuate natural beauty, which inherently takes up space), while at the same time not eating in too much to the space set aside for VL.

I do wonder though if they will try to pull the DL Subs/Autopia trick to maximize this space. Basically have the indoor show scenes at the ground level and have the outdoor section build on top of it.
