Bring over one attraction from Disneyland (and where you would put it)

I never rode it as CA Screamin but it is a completely different ride track than RNR Coaster
I loved the theme of an actual test track but 2.0 ruined it. Agreed that RS is better overall but the ride system is the same which isn't super exciting to me bc I've been riding Test Track for the last 20+ years.

Honestly, I'd love a whole Cars land at WDW, but seems like DL got that and WDW got Toy Story. Which is fine. I know a lot of people dislike Toy Story Land, but my kiddo loved it. For the record, though, I'd pretty much love a land based on most Pixar movies. Give me a WALL-E ride or an Inside Out ride in Epcot, and I'd be a happy camper.

I mean, thats like saying Slinky Dog and Maverick are the same because they both have double launches. Its not an opinion, its an outright incorrect fact.

I know it is the same ride system, but I'm not convinced that it is the same track layout. If it is it is a much better use of space then TT ever thought of being in either incarnation. Sorry that it doesn't work for you because it seems like every attraction is based on story and visuals. That's what Disney is all about. But, if it doesn't, it just doesn't work for you.
It's a great attraction! I totally see what you're saying. My comment was more about how the sensation of the ride itself wasn't new bc it's recycled.

I'm gonna take a twofer since these rides are built in the same building. I'll take Mr Toads and Alice in Wonderland, the best Fantasyland ride ever. Put Toad where he used to be, put Alice on top just like at Disneyland and throw a little extra theming to that corner of Fantasyland to make a mini Alice land with Teacups and Chesire. Now since we have Pooh sitting around doing nothing, move it over by Splash and Thunder so kids have a ride for themselves while older family members are on the thrill rides.

I guess then we would all have to ask ourselves how we love omnimovers so much. There was a time there when all there was were omnimover rides. All the same sensation, all the same speed and only differentiated by a different story. But, again like I said, there is no law that says you have to like any particular ride system, but just say you don't like it and be done with it. In my mind what you are claiming just doesn't make any sense when it comes to Disney attractions. When talking about comparing TT with RS there are two completely different visual experiences that really are dependent on the vehicle our butts are parked in. It helps with the illusion, but isn't absolutely necessary to imagine the story. It is germane to either story, having to do with automotive themes, but that is all it is used for. Those vehicles are as related to being a car in the same way that the ride vehicles in Little Mermaid are related to being sea shells and the ones in the Haunted Mansion are Doom Buggies. All in the mind of the beholder. Everyone's mileage may vary.

I'm not going to DCA under any circumstances and Disneyland being the mecca for Disney would draw people even if it were nothing but wind up clocks. Carsland should be available to everyone, not just to those living on the big fault line, just like Small World, Pirates, Haunted Mansion and so many others that are shared with just about every Disney park. It is that impressive and the ability to experience it should not dependent on where one happens to live.

Honestly I want the Monsters Inc. Dark Ride to move over to WDW. But with very advanced animatronics instead of the still-life ones. I’d move it to Hollywood Studios and replace Star Wars Launch Bay.
The area already has “animation” in its title so it works good.

So by that logic, every impressive attraction needs to be cloned?
I'm not "claiming" anything - I'm telling my experience. I didn't dislike RS - I was disappointed.
I didn't know that RS was the same "ride" experience as TT when I first rode it (when I say ride, I mean the physical vehicle and track component of the attraction where you're moving lol). The hype was that it was this amazing attraction but the actual "ride" is the same. It would be like someone saying they rode Dinosaur for 20 years, didn't realize that Indiana Jones in DL was the same system, and being disappointed that it was the same system. Sure, there are different things to look at and enjoy but the thrill of the "ride" itself is the same.
When I'm on an omnimover type of attraction I'm not expecting anything out of the actual ride. It's all based on what you see in an omnimover. Test Track and RS are more thrilling type of "rides" where the actual "ride" is more important to the experience than to an omnimover. TT and RS were built as and are billed as more thrill rides. Obviously I love Disney's storytelling in their attractions and the themeing bc that's what sets them apart.

I'm so bummed I didn't get to fully experience the Monsters Inc dark ride! I've only been to DCA once and it was down for most of the day. It was finally open so we went on and it broke down half way through. The lights came on and cast members escorted us out of the vehicles and through the entire attraction out. It was one of the weirdest things that's happened to me in a Disney park lol.
That's exactly why they built it there. To get people to go... Plus we do already have TT which is vastly different thematically but the same type of ride system.
