Well you did hit my biggest point of frustration with this plan — not the thematic fit or even the elimination of ROA — but the tons of additions going to Magic Kingdom which does not need it, especially after recently getting Tron. I agree I would have much rather seen Radiator Springs (the...

I think that’s where RSR does this and it drives insane re-rideability. Because kids (and adults!) want to ride again for the chance to win

Great points for sure. Mario Kart is cool, but never quite reaches the illusion of actual racing I thought some of the concept art for Cars showed some side by side cars, so maybe it’s like RSR where there’s a section where you compete with others I’m actually quite fond of RSR, and that...

Those aren’t complicated effects. Just relocation with a nice facade out front. And would be more popular than the Mickey Shorts, whose theater I’ve actually not been into since it was Sounds Dangerous. From what I remember it would work great for Muppets and make it even more intimate /...

I think Muppets would be perfect for that Mickey Shorts theater since it’s a film (i.e., not a stage show with actors) with smaller demand than its current theater requires. Monsters can take the Muppets Couryard and then the “bigger thing” TBD can take AC with Mermaid entrance moved to the side...

Exactly. Very little talk here around getting a brand new ride and ride system (first of its kind at a park anywhere?) which people here are always clamoring for. How we’ll go up rocky slopes and wade through ponds. So. Much. Pessimism.

And yet these modes of transport take you to lands where you see critters playing in a New Orleans band, talking toys battling a galactic emperor, and monsters telling jokes The Cars ride is not a mode of transportation, it’s an attraction with talking cars. Set in the Frontier

Oh c’mon — people were dying at the thought of RSR coming and how out of place it would be. The wilderness just isn’t desert What do the eyes matter? This is Magic Kingdom, not Realism Kingdom

This Cars attraction does absolutely take place in the American Frontier, the West, the wilderness, areas we know as California, Oregon, Montana, etc. because they’re telling it is This is not Radiator Springs nor the first movie

You should have stopped at Jungle Cruise and Pirates, where you listed 2 rides in one land with totally different time periods. The geography connects them. Same exact is happening at Frontierland with Cars. Thanks for providing the examples

When did I say protect the spirit of forging westward? I said they protect the environments as experienced by those centuries ago who moved westward. Your reading comprehension fell apart

So now we want the parks to be duplicates of each other? Bring back the ride clone era? That’s an interesting twist in this already dramatic thread :)

Maybe they rename it Westernland as it’s called in Tokyo. Not sure if that’s been discussed? At DLR, Frontierland is much smaller there and easier to keep its name At MK, Frontierland has for decades had a broader definition given it contained Splash Mountain. So maybe another step in the...

We can agree on the latter, particularly reading comprehension. See my post above -- this proposal has nothing to do with Route 66. The Cars franchise has settings across the world

No it’s not. Cars 2 expands the IP to Europe via the World Grand Prix storyline. The concept of vehicles with eyes on them isn’t just on Route 66. Neither is the proposal Radiator Springs at DCA which is based on Route 66 The D23 presentation made clear they were more thoughtful about how...

National Parks preserve the American Frontier as it was in the days of Wild West exploration. Without them who knows how much we would have lost to development by now. Maybe our best chance to experience the Frontier would have been Disney’s Big Thunder Mountain. Luckily, National Parks have...

The American Frontier wasn’t a place none had gone before — Native Americans lived there for centuries It was extreme wilderness from the experience of people living in the 13 colonies. There was promise of land, gold, etc. but also taller mountains, deeper canyons, desserts, sickness, and...

Route 66 runs through what is considered the American Frontier. Absolutely. That is the American West - California, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, etc. A national park in the American West is exactly emblematic of the Frontier — wild, unexplored mountains, deserts, forests, and...

Because it takes place in the Frontier, which Tiana barely does and Splash Mountain definitely didnt Some people seem stuck that the theme is a time period and Disney made clear it is emphasizing the geography and environment

All makes sense, and that’s with folks knowing ROA / TSI is leaving which will cause inflated awareness and usage of these spaces compared to the previous steady state. Or maybe people still don’t care. This isn’t the free friendship boat which is transport between hotels and parks; this is a...
