Oh, they need to add this feature to the Tomorrowland Autopia! Except instead of riders throwing pies at sets spectators would fling pies at motorists for driving gasoline powered cars in the future. I know it's wrong, but I have a smirk on my face as I envision myself throwing pies at little kids driving Autopia cars.

That would sure take care of that annoying kid behind you that keeps rear ending you when his buddy in front of you stops.
But they're 3D cutouts!
I am not sure about that. It always seems best viewed without spinning.

I think that's part of the beauty in these types of ride systems - they allow the rider to choose their experience.

I was picturing it being a platform or an overlook maybe with coin-operated pie throwers lol.

^ After Six Flags Over Texas removes "Texas" from their name.
If DCA becomes an amusement park too, it's still located in California, so the name still makes sense. Disney Adventure Park is a far worse name that can't easily be spoken. Even worse than Disney Cinemagine Park.

Never I hope.

I still call it Disney's California Adventure. You can't change the names of these theme parks as they've existed for years and expect everyone to start calling it by a new name. It's The Magic Kingdom. Disney-MGM Studios. And of course, EPCOT '94.
I'd thought it would be a good name, that makes more sense, is easily spoken, and definitely not bad like Disney Cenemagine Park. But I could be the only person who thinks so here. It also wouldn't be that big of change for people to adapt to. You only remove the California part. Well okay, maybe it would be difficult for somebody here.

What's the difference between Disney Adventure and Disney-land though? If I didn't know any better it sounds like it would be the same thing.

We had a similar discussion with the DHS name change. The official name is Disney California Adventure Park, but nobody says the word park. People call it "California Adventure" for the most park. However, by removing the word California, now people would say the word park. "Adventure Park."
Sounds real sexy. And how would that make more sense?

I'm gaining weight just looking at that.
You just changed my opinion. As now, thinking about it more, calling it anything other than entirely Disney Adventure Park does sound odd.
I had also thought as the park has increasingly become less about California, it made sense. Just a miscellaneous thought, good or bad.

Now onto today's miscellaneous thoughts:
- As Soarin' has more than one theater; why do they not play both films, one in each theater? As no one could truly argue Soarin' Over California is not a superior experience in multiple ways.
- Is Disney ever going to center the Astro Blasters sign, above the entrance, on the right side? It has been this way, unlike the left side, since the day it was installed. And why does Buzz Lightyear not tell everyone to remember a vehicle number so people can quickly find their photo at the end?
- Why did they choose to make Star Wars Galaxy's Edge within the sequel time period? The originals are far superior in every way!

Your last point hits on something I've been thinking about lately concerning SWL and largely, IP projects like this with specific timelines. I don't think it was a smart idea for them to basically lock GE into a timeframe. When people think of Star Wars, they'll undoubtedly conjure up images of Darth Vader, Luke, Leia, and Han. IMO it was a mistake to set the entire land in a post-Vader, "First Order" era. It does a disservice to both the guests and the property to try and make everything about what's current. Especially when "current" is a sliding scale. (How many upcoming trilogies are there now??)
Unless the plan is for GE to span multiple timelines in the land and have walk arounds of Vader, Leia in white dress and hair buns, a pre-murdered Han Solo, alongside your Kylos and Reys...I just think Disney painted themselves literally between a rock and a hard place.

They did that to Pandora. It's set in a time after the movie and during a time that is suppose to be covered in a future movie. Besides, how hard could it be to change time periods in GE? Just redress the stromtrooper ride and put in a new movie in the Falcon. It would be like opening day all over again.
