I know I’m a broken record on this, but I soooo want them to do French Quarter to go with Tiana’s.

This wouldn’t be impossible to do in the future! The ride’s location sort of straddles the edge of Frontierland so if they ever wanted to “redistrict” so to speak, BTMRR could remain in Frontierland and with the river gone it’d just be a matter of putting some sort of division point between it and TBA, the latter being absorbed into a new area. They could even prevent a dead end by having the new area go around back behind where TBA and BTMRR are and letting that loop around to the new Frontierland/Villains Land transition point.

It’s not necessarily a bad thing. But I’ve written a lot about why I think it might (might) be a bad thing in this specific situation, and I doubt anyone is clamoring for me to do a long rehash, lol. The gist is pretty much this - I think that maybe (maybe) the vibe and style of Cars is wrong for this area. It’s putting a go kart track in Cape May, vibe-wise. Maybe I’m wrong, maybe I’ll be surprised. But that’s my concern.



I don’t think it was just the ride, I believe there was a village planned as well.



Maybe? I don’t work there so I can only go on rumors I hear here. My understanding is that this was a very last minute decision, not part of a long term plan, but that could be wrong.

Time will tell. I get it. Willing to wait it out though. This one has a lot of potential and at the very least it’s a new innovative idea. Hopefully they can execute on it.

Like I said Coco was another Soarin, even with the land the scale is not on the same scale of cars .

I’m not trying to be argumentative but I disagree that this is a new innovative idea. Car race / drive rides are one of the OG theme park rides. Which is fine, I have no issue with that - just saying I don’t think it’s particularly new.

My main concern is what this will do to the vibe and charm of that general area, but if I’m trying to look at the positive, it does seem like the Cars ride has a nature theme that could go in any number of directions. If they really build up the natural elements and focus on aesthetics, who knows? I have my worries but like you said, time will tell.

Wasn’t a Woody’s Roundup coaster proposed to go here at one point? Probably before Toy Story Land I would guess…

One of the most recent Rumors swirled of a Woody Cowboy attraction of sorts to go along with Cars and maybe Coco too. All three fit as a Desert Land next to Big Thunder. At the time a model of Ornamrnt Valley without the car pin roofs suggested it was RSR even if a bit different to go with the Desert Theme yet respecting the Frontierland environment.

No arguments here. I get where you are coming from.

It’s a whole new ride system with an off road experience that deals with elevation.
Its unique. This isn’t a clone.

That's great that it is new and not a clone and all, but at the end of the day it is just not a great fit for the park or the location...This would be a better match for Hollywood Studios where the anthropomorphic world would not be thrown directly into the heart of a historically themed area...mountain barrier or not...this is a terrible idea.

My main concern is the Cars themselves. Not their innovative tech and capabilities but the choice in their appearance. You wanna make a really cool blown away ride attraction, however this isn't California Adventure here, your nestled at Frontierland still. No matter how stunning the landscape is, if any particular way moment you were to see these vehicles doing their rag race with dust, yeah🫣 it's proven by the concept art, I would preferred it if you could ride on variety of Cars even those from RSR and not just these vehicles we don't know nothing about which alone reaks havoc and turmoil to the beautiful area no matter how charming and quaint it appears. These rough eyed lookin race cahoons wouldn't matter at Hollywood Studios or California Adventure. As if they dragged Liver Lips Bear and gave him a a a dragster red neck storm jacket and told him let's pollute this joint ASAP! Oh the travesty of this once charmed Liberty Bell and Island.😪🤤

Splash mountain was full of animals wearing pants. Not to mention singing bears.

I’m not going to argue location. Put me in the skeptical camp on whether this can be pulled off or even if it is the right attraction to put in that location. I think Disney could possibly do better with location, but I am cautiously optimistic about the attraction itself.

Weren't most, if not all of those pants-wearing animals and singing bears inside the show building?

Unless they build a fantastic berm, you're likely to see (and possibly hear) the cartoon cars driving around the landscape - this isn't going to be like the inside portion of Test Track/Radiator Springs Racers.

Do we not count the parades going through Frontierland? Or the bears waving from the balcony? Or the art/signs/theming around Country Bears? Or the attraction signs?
