News Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

[Brian]

Seems to confirm that the theory/wish of part of RoA being spared is gone.

i tried to map out what i think the layout for the ride is. Orang is load/unload area. Yellow dot is start, white is track, red is underground part, back to white and then green which is kinda a speculation (all of it is really) back to white and then to the end in dark red

It’s visible from Frontierland, Liberty Square and anyone approaching from Fantasyland or the Hub.

Are you suggesting no one seems Rivers of America or TSI? Seriously?

No, I am arguing that it is not in the center of the park, as was stated. It's also off to the side so construction walls will not be an issue for the vast majority of the park. It's not like EPCOT's central spine.

Damn, I have been checking all day!

 

[SCOTLORR]

Also, it's not that I oppose Cars or the franchise, I just know this wasn't the team or budget that made Carsland that opened in 2012. You KNOW no thought or care is going into this.

I don’t think that’s fair. You can be upset about them taking out ROA and TSI, but there’s really zero indication that this will be a low-effort project.

The fact that this is a completely new concept and not just a RSR clone is a great sign that this is being handled with a lot of care. Based on the concept art, it looks awesome. It sucks that we’re losing ROA for it, but I’m definitely excited to see the finished product.

Like shoving a Dino Coaster next to a Harry Potter Land and masking it with a few bushes. Wait...who are we talking about?

Yes, but it's sort of on brand for them.

 

[eddie104]

I agree with this, but it's that way on both sides, which is what makes it almost unbearable. There are people who vilify literally everything and people who praise literally everything.

There's very little nuance or room for logical discussion.

I’m not the biggest fan of this project however I always try to look for the silver lining.

Yes it sucks that a part of MK history is being taken away.

However they are replacing it with something that looks somewhat aesthetically pleasing.

The rides will be very popular and provide more capacity for this portion of the park.

Cmon Lenny. They didn’t have to go Def Con 5. They could have kept the river in tact from Thunder to Mansion, cut the island in half and docked the boat.

And they could have removed Fort Langhorne and the Tom Sawyer name without removing the actual "stuff" on the lower island. Are caves to explore now "problematic"?

 

[Streetway]

Villains land, cars, and muppets American history seems to be what’s shaping up, if I’m reading it right?

 

[TrainsOfDisney]

I am sorry to call Liberty Square problematic from a political standpoint is "PROBLEMATIC." The Hall of Presidents exists so all presidents regardless of their political party or views are represented to discuss about our collective history as a country.

This needs to be repeated so here it is - I agree 100%.

 

[spresso81]

So are they going to remove all those trees to create retention ponds?

So we lose out on expansion pads to just get rid of ROA. For all those who defend this, sorry but this is simply sad.

If this is not politically motivated, then it is even dumber. At least if it was politically motivated it makes sense where you agree with it or not.

Has it been considered to get rid of the tomorrowland speedway for entrance for this, and then go beyond big tron?

These people have no common sense. But I don't think thats the driver here. I think it's a factor but I think the driver is underutilized space and missed revenue opportunities. Too much space not turning over a profit. But thats where they are misguided. The ROA is the kind of thing that created the brand and separated Disney from other parks. You may not be able to show that people are spending money on TSI but it's what's bringing them to the park in the first place. Whether they know it or not.

I'm thinking the family ride will be a clone of Luigi's Rollicking Roadsters with a new theme in the pit area. That is a delightful ride for the family.

 

[Beacon Joe]

So we can talk about politics now?

LOL. You know full well it's pick and choose with some of the superfans. It was a little bit of a troll, but also not really, but a few years back I posted that Main Street USA needs to be razed because it represents a problematic era in American history. So if that's the justification for removing ROA and TSI, please extend it uniformly throughout the parks.

I mean Cars does take place in the future where Cars became self-aware and killed humanity, right?

It's sad that even with this "massive" investment to "expand" they keep on running in place instead of actually doing more. They are literally going to spend a crapload of money to get rid of RoA and TSI when they could have used the same money to simply put Cars in a somewhat different location. It's the definition of insanity.

is it water retention ponds? sorry i dont know how to read these permits. I thought it was land clearing for expansion

 

[Disney Analyst]

I am gonna need someone to explain what we are seeing in these permits. Someone speak to me like the toddler I am, and lay those out for me - haha.
