I have no clue but based on the name of the park, it doesn't sound like Cars Land would fit the park.

I see a lot of people here saying that Disney would probably only bring RSR.
Why would they do that? Aren't the shops and restaurants what bring in the money? Especially since it's Cars we're talking about. A LOT of merchandise. and isn't the town itself a lot cheaper to build than RSR + rockwork?

It fits in fine with Pixar Place though....

How does Carsland fit into a park named after California?
Anyhow, DHS is a park about movies and entertainment. RSR is a ride based on a movie. It fits as well as anything else in the park and if it helps to solidify "Pixar Place" as uniform land, that's a good thing.

That's the million dollar (or is it $500 million or $1 billion?) question.
As far as I can tell, its theme is "anything related to movies, television, music, or pop culture."
So basically the Entertainment Weekly of theme parks.

The OP who started this thread said early on that it wasn't clear if this mean just RSR or all of Cars land so I think that is really up in the air at this point.

Well I guess we just have a difference of opinion. And that's fine
From my view, components (or at least similar concepts) of all four parks in wdw are available in DL. Soarin', Turtle Talk with Crush in Epcot. Tough to be a Bug, Grizzley River Rapids (Kali River Rapids), Goofy's Sky School (Primeaval Whril), Matterhorn (Everest) in AK. Star Tours, Toy Story Midway Mania, ToT, Fantasmic in DHS.
While I'm not defending the fact going to Turtle Talk is the same as seeing the Spaceship Earth geosphere, a lot of attractions are on both coasts, for a purpose that I feel is centered around the concept of giving both coasts a chance to experience these attractions.

The name of the park can easily be changed.

Radiator Springs is a fictional place set in Route 66, which is in California. Not to mention the huge car culture and car craze that went on in California, and still does.

Yes, we can agree to disagree. Nothing wrong with that at all.

Sorry as of now none has confirmed AN ENTIRE LAND! And by the use of "we" does that mean you are from Cali...so i could infer there is some emotional bias. Any ways as of recent (not counting clones built at the sametime)ToT, ITTBAB, Millionaire, Crush, Muppets, came to help DCA get off the ground. Buzz went to DL. Now, of recent (20 years) I can only think of Soarin that was directly lifted from DLR to WDW. So while payback may have been the wrong choice of word, there has been more lifting unique attractions from WDW in recent years than vice versa

I think the Backlot Tours days are numbered. It is only a shell of what it was anyways. I can easily see it being annexed by Pixar Place/Land.
No, but it sounds like CL will be....

So if it comes, it won't be taking the place of the backlot tour?

More than half of WDW's new attractions in the last twenty years were built at DLR or another park first

Neither TDA nor TDO designs these attractions. They are done by Corporate. Believe me, TDO would have never approved the FLE had it not been for Corporate saying they had to. The same can be said about CarsLand. It was a Corporate decision. TDA had no say in the matter.
Corporate makes these decisions for the respective parks for the greater good. The local park authorities are only there to run the park for Corporate...not make decisions as large as these.

I know I'm waaaaay out on a limb with this opinion, but as awesome as the mountain range is, the core of the ride takes place indoors. If they did a mostly-indoors version of the ride in DHS, that would be OK with me, even without the mountain range.
Would it be as AWESOME as DCA's version? Heck no.
Would it satisfy the masses? Um, yes. "They're tourists. What do THEY know?"
Personally, I'd be unsatisfied. But I do travel to CA every year or two, so my soul wouldn't rend or anything.

Rt 66 travels through half the country and while it's not explicit where exactly the town is located, it's indicated that it's not in California (e.g. it's stated that Lightning needs to go "to California" for the race which you wouldn't say if they were already in the state). And using California's car culture as a rationale for Carslands seem like a pretty backdoor post facto justification.
Rephrased: "Cars being a movie" as justification for the ride being in DHS is just as reasonable as anything that would justify it being in DCA.
Incidentally, are there mermaids in California? Monsters who collect screams for energy? Did Goofy give flying lessons there? There's always attractions that are stretching themes to get them to fit it; it's not a big deal.

Nothing to add. It was just important for me to let more people see this.
