[ToTBellHop]

Disney Parks Blog has announced another new Cars-related addition coming too, a dance party.

Get Revved Up for Even More 'Cars' Fun at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

When Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy speeds into Disney’s Hollywood Studios on March 31, the world of Disney•Pixar’s “Cars” will unfold all around you, and the fun and excitement extend beyond the show into the courtyard outside

Oh, and for good measure, The Site That Shall Not Be Named has copied the Disney Parks Blog article verbatim, without so much as an attribution to the original source. I don't know what Disney's copyright policy is on PR materials, but it seems to be in bad taste to not at least reference where the material came from. Good show, Voldemort!

The Dark Lord just performed the 4th Unforgivable Curse?!?!?!

Yeah maybe they could use planes “the world above cars”.

We do not speak of Planes

Sure. I don’t really like cars I was asking a question/thinking out loud. No need to get all bent out of shape.

I guess I forget the for the planes comment.

Not a coaster. But the Jorvik Viking Centre in York is a ride similar to Winnie the Pooh in MK, and it has smells in the ride through the replica of the Viking City remains found on the site (the Centre being built on the site). I took part in the excavations during my last year and a half at school.

I’m sure there are other similar places around the world. But I don’t know of any actual coasters! But I’m sure people could suggest some possibilities. Yeti dung on EE, perhaps?

the incredcoaster in DCA has smell feature. smells like chocolate chip cookies

I don't smell anything when I ride it. I doubt it even works lol

Great idea! The story will be that you're going in for a tune up and this wonky car lift just hasn't been working right all day

im obviously not actually upset but honestly its ALL the time when somebody is like why dont they do x to rock n roller coaster. im not here to defend the merits of the current theme but it meshes well with the cali vibe and the overall area. its the one part of the park not currently broken and everyone is like you know... =)

I understand, and I do not want it rethemed,

OTPN is reporting that the show is only 10 minutes long. I was expecting longer.

I’ll save you the “That’s what she said”.

I am hoping they put the Piston Cup where the pole is. It would look perfect up there!

I think it’s a continuously running show a la Muppets or other theatre attractions so the length makes sense.

With Cars taking over Sunset Showcase, is it possible that RnRC could get a Cars retheme at some point? It wouldn't surprise me if they wanted to turn that corner of the park into a Cars mini land.

I think they would get savaged by anybody who knows another person who has ever been to the Cars land at DCA if they tried a bargain-basement Cars rehab land at this point. Plus you'd have to tell all the kids they can't ride the Mater coaster because they aren't tall enough

Times guide shows this as 10 minutes long.

Very unlikely. The Sunset Showcase area itself hardly has any Cars theming as it is.

Personally I think LMRA and RNRC can coexist very well together if they slightly rethemed and separated the area from Sunset Blvd, and embraced a modern downtown LA festival type vibe that both attractions seem to have.

10 minutes falls more in line with the capacity numbers I was given. Should pump people through very well. Also, I'd expect around a five minute turnaround, if not shorter.
