MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

[dlfan1313]

Disney seems to have been trying to copy Universal's playbook since Potter.

Indeed, but they're chasing those Butter Beer bucks instead of prioritizing the creation of amazing attractions and environments and letting rest take care of itself. I have no doubts whatsoever that both MK expansions (if the second even happens) are built around LL sales as the singular, ultimate priority. Those things are like printing money.

So how intrusive will those car sounds be in the line for HM, walking to Country Bears, or riding along the outdoor bend on Splash?

As intrusive as the Test Track cars are to Space 220?

Remember that ill-informed moral panic?

Fund times.

You’re calling an apple an orange. Outdoor rides being audible outdoors is a matter of fact.

It is also incredibly doable to block that sound out. I lived by an interstate for years and the county did a wonderful job making sure we never heard it, even outside in our yard. If little old Knoxville can do it, Disney can do it.

Test Track is outdoors and I can’t recall finding it annoying.

Test Track is outdoors and I can’t recall finding it annoying.

Test Track is the sole outdoor ride in the area and it’s quite loud. If another outdoor ride or a themed queue was in close proximity it would be an issue.

These silly comparisons to completely different situations are unnecessary anyway since Inc already offered a convincing rebuttal to my concern. I was thinking too much of the Autopia - if the ride vehicles are largely silent, we only need to worry about the massive visual and spatial intrusion.

It’s not annoying but you can certainly hear it in many parts of Epcot

Whether or not someone finds it annoying is a separate question from whether or not it can be heard.

It’s not just a question of the ride vehicle. How fast they move and the type of track also influenced how much noise is created. The B&M roar is caused by ride vehicles that are perfectly silent when sitting still.

I think you’re supposed to. It’s an amusement park not a library.

With all the tables and chairs in the failed celebrations gardens area it sure feels like a library.

Oh yeah - in radiator springs you’re definitely supposed to hear it. I’m not sure if it’s all on board audio or there are actually speakers adding to the sound out there because it’s very convincing.

There was enough noise pollution added to mansion with the interactive queue.

My husband made more noise than the grandkids! Lots of fun.

Kind of makes you wonder what the parks would look like today if it hadn't been for Wizarding World.

Definitely wouldn’t have avatar land! We’d probably have a Star Wars land that was more fun too.

Car land was already being developed non-ip, so we’d have that with 1 cars ride probably?

Car Land became Cars Land before Wizarding World of Harry Potter was announced.

Couldn’t remember the timeline - I’ve read Kevin’s book and even met him! Was there a full IP land before that? I guess bugs land technically?

A much better place and I don't just say that as a Potter Fan turned critic of J, K. Rowling.

 

[HMF]

I don't think IP lands are bad in all cases however they should not be by default especially where the premise is not even plausible as with Toy Story Land.
