News Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

I'm sure you have lots of things to do, getting ready for the holiday in the Penguin household, but would you mind terribly citing some of these posts? Because I feel like I would have noticed if people were saying this, and I've been on these forums for as long as Jacob Marley's been dead (that is, 7 years ago, though not this very night).

I don't think people were saying it out loud 5 years ago, but since this was announced several insiders have said that it has been under consideration to eliminate for years.

This won’t improve bottlenecks because the paths won’t be widened. It will increase the bottlenecks by increasing traffic. And instead of an expansive, scenic body of water, the bottleneck will be against a thin row of trees.

The views from Splash and Thunder will be ruined. Splash will go from its striking view of the castle and river to a view of an unthemed flat roof.

Haunted Mansion will now be looking at cars with googly-eyes in a straight-to-DVD landscape.

If folks want to cheer the change, fine. But I’m tired of the endless refusal to accept the information we have because it’s unpleasant.

Where did you get your time machine and can I have a ride?

no, he has a point... it will bring more people into the park, more people , more congestion... And unless the paths are the scale of the World Showcase promenade, it is going to be packed with people.... The walk along the ROA (parade route) is very wide and even so always feels pretty crowded...before getting to the bottleneck going to Tiana and Big Thunder... SO yeah, I think it will be just as congested as it is now... maybe more so because of an influx of visitors....at least for 3-5 years...depending of course on the quality of the finished project...

A completed loop with multiple entrances and exits will certainly help bottlenecks over a dead end that forces everyone to use the same path and double-back. The worst area for traffic I have encountered at the park is by Big Thunder and Splash, two major attractions with only one way in and out. And heck even Haunted Mansion gets rough. This will help with that, even with some larger crowds because there will be a whole added area for that Cars ride for those people to go.

Is this to me? What "information" am I denying? In fact, in general what are you referring to here?

I didn’t know you had the blueprints…

It will help traffic flow. Paths will be widened and altered in certain locations. Regardless the removal of a dead end will also improve flow.

The view from splash will not be of an unthemed flat roof.

You will not see cars or googly-eyes from the Haunted Mansion.

It’s funny you talk about accepting the information you have but are actually sitting here just flat out making up information.
