The entire thesis of Cars was “people should get away from the daily rat race and learn to enjoy the forgotten charm of a nostalgic past”. To get a feel for this thesis, the animators took a road trip along the old kitschy landmarks of historic Route 66 that were left mostly abandoned by the...

Wow. That is crazy disappointing.

In keeping with the new Test Track, they should feature a drink called the Geo Metro. It's small, cheap, and nobody would ever admit to getting one.

Skynet would be smart enough just to publish false gossip and let humanity eat itself.

Carsbad Caverns. EDIT - Or.... Engine Joe's Cave.

“Well the -ish is, I think Lightning McQueen is the bad guy in this. It just feels like there’s a lot of him creeping on girl cars and then arguing with their dads and husbands and stuff, and it’s a real departure for the character.”

Because I don’t want to see or hear any incarnation of Larry the Cable Guy yelling about “getter done” while I’m queuing at the Mansion.

I’m not. If there’s no inherent PR value (“Tony Baxter is going to consult on Tiana!”), TBIC doesn’t want any of the old guard around at all.

Someone YT (can’t remember the channel, maybe it was RetroWDW, maybe it was WDWPro) said it best: Corporate Disney/The Bob Iger Company doesn’t think of their visitors to the parks as “guests” anymore, they think of them as “consumers” only. “Sorry we killed an experience you shared with your...

New round of “piece of history” pins.

Would that be the marina on Facilities Way?

Yes. The Mark Twain narration, written and delivered in his wry style of humor. You see that brick mansion back over yonder there in the woods? I’ve heard folks hereabouts say it was haunted. They say it was built on sacred Indian burial grounds, so now it’s filled with spirits. If you ask me...

Probably the horse-drawn trolleys on Main Street. - Horses are expensive to house and feed - Maintenance of the trolley cars - Removing and paving over the track will make the road less hazardous to wheelchairs and strollers. - “nobody even rides that anyway”

This thread:

Need to add his little toady Damaro.

And here I was hoping that someone would hit the brakes on this crap.

Would have been a neat touch to make it an updated version of the old Pegasus craft from Horizons. And in a shout-out to *World of Motion, they could call it the Centaur.

Personally I would have had a few more WOM props and reimagined scenes. For instance, put the Disney-bound family from WOM's speed tunnel into the new hovercraft flying car. Same McFarkles, new era.

And that is why it’s a pale imitation of what Epcot once stood for. The park’s thesis was “here is where we came from and what the future *could* look like” then inspired you to be part of it.
