My guess at first or by looking at the map was a smaller tamer experience kid friendly able to ride sit in the Cars and just a loop around the area near Big Thunder. People thought the last concept art with all the cars cheering was part of the second attraction but looks like it's the first. Some then say the second attraction would be small like one in DCA.
The concept art shows Lightning and Mater at some point in the ride, so there's that.
A clone of Mater's Junkyard Jamboree?
I really think its going to be something in the vein of Tomorrowland Speedway so they can get rid of that finally. It’s telling to me only Cali was announced as going electric.
I would imagine the berm and all of that wonderful natural swamp and ecosystem in the back will be ripped out along with the railroad tracks.
. Its really a shame.
I agree but not for the reason you're probably thinking.
Ironically, it's off island and ride visibility would have been even better with new expansion.
Good thing that they're going to have Lighting McQueen in there. A perfectly good animatronic is leaving a little park from Orlando called "Disney's Hollywood Studios"...
The MAIN ride in the Cars expansion is analogous to the Speedway. And Disney basically locked the Speedway in place with the moronic placement of Tron.
From the concept art, the main attraction looks to be quite different to Speedway, because you aren't driving the cars, and it's two cars racing much faster through actual scenery (which Speedway has none). It's even been speculated to be some kind of trackless system so it feels like a more extreme car race. The second attraction we haven't seen anything of yet, but it could be similar to Speedway in which kids can drive their own cars, or it could be a flat ride like Luigis or Maters
Aren’t issues with outdoor trackless, especially over “rough” terrain, a big reason Uni’s Kong has been running without the outside portion for well over a year?
No, that’s more about Universal being cheap and running the attraction at reduced capacity. They’re only loading and unloading one vehicle at a time instead of two, so cutting down the cycle time of the attraction means the hit to capacity isn’t quite as bad.
What about Florida’s geography has to do with Kong’s failings?
Oh, Uni is definitely being indefensibly cheap, one way or the other. Perhaps I fell for a "hole under Horizons," but I understood that at least one factor in the decision was that the axels of the vehicles were having difficulty with the outdoor terrain and Uni didn't want to spend to correct the situation.
Doesn’t seem to be at all like Speedway, but ok, keep spouting false rumors
