I guess the Uni haters just got embarrassed again. They must be masochists.

Maybe it is just not visible in this video, but I did not see the point in utilizing the trackless vehicles.
Not having a motion base seems like a real missed opportunity.

Is this sarcasm? I can't tell...

This. I watched it and felt like I had more questions than anything in the end. What was the point of an LPS? Most of the ride seemed to consist of sitting still in front of large screens.
Also, who watched Ratatouille and decided that chasing a rat though the restaurant was the takeaway that most viewers wanted to experience? So much wasted opportunity here.

The chase sequences are the most movement oriented so I understanding pretending to be a rat for the ride. What perplexes me is pretending to be a rat for the dining.

What's the point in eating at a faux French resturant when the real thing is a 40 minute train ride away?
At least from Remy's perspective it's something different.

It is still a French restaurant, just one made for rats.

Well at least for once Disney is being honest about what it thinks about its guests.
But seriously, I meant "French" as in Parisian. Disney could have easily built Chefs de France 2.0, but they went for something more original. I'm fine with that given the theme of the film and its main character.

It's just a shame that such great work was done on such a mediocre IP.- Cars Land at DCA is wicked fun!

I'll never understand how Cars is Disney/Pixar's biggest moneymaking juggernaut.But those toy sales!

TBH SeaWorld has the best trackless system, with Antartica: Empire of the Penguin!!!
But, you are so right!!! The Figment ride would be a perfect candidate!

Do you know what makes a great screen based ride? Wen you can easily differentiate between screen and set pieces.
I think this ride is just adorable and well done. Looking forward to seeing a little more clear video, but fwiw it's rather good. Good job, WDI!

I think this would be great in Epcot! Giving France a D ticket attraction would really help balance out that side of World Showcase. I'd prefer expanding that area with this than replacing Maelstrom with Frozen.

Looks pretty cool. I especially like the way this ride makes good use of the "trolley cart" ceilings to frame the screens and give a sense of scale to the rider. Screens that go all the way to the floor is a plus, too. Motion base might have been nice, but not really needed when the concept makes the rider a rat on the floor always looking up. Seems like they could have done more with the trackless concept, though- the vehicles always seem to be lined up in single-file, like in the disappointing Anatarctica ride at SeaWorld. Also, is it just me or is the vehicles' mechanical noise unusually loud?
Zero animatronics in this one, eh?
I can fully understand the need to render the humans as projections, but it would have been really cool if when you meet the other rats they're all actual animatronics. The different scale would have made the contrast believable.
Anyone know what framerate the projectors run at?

Cars was a quality movie. And the Mater shorts were well done. I think people unfairly judge the original movie due to the mediocrity of the sequel.

I too thought they were done well....I also thought Planes was done pretty good even if DisneyToon Animation was doing the films it has that Pixar look to it and I am waiting for Planes: Fire & Rescue the animation looks great.

God bless the "Ignore" button.
Minus the well-imbedded screens, the moving show pieces, the motion simulation, the heat, water, and fire effects...
Overall, I'm disappointed. I was excited to see the pictures of the physical sets, but that's when I thought they would DO something.
It's no secret that I'm a Uni fan, but I still liked to rely on Disney to give me my fix for rides that integrated a lot more moving parts. I guess I was hoping for something more like Mystic Manor! Now THERE'S a theme park attraction!
