I would think it would have to have, at least, a 40% mortality rate to classify as an E.

Rock 'N Rollercoaster is 1:22 in ride length. Probably would be a similar type of experience.
That said, it is a good argument against having a short, fast, launched coaster in the Star Wars land. I would think a more family style coaster with a longer ride time (in the vein of BTM) would be a better fit for DHS, to offer some different ride options within the park.

Personally I think DHS Is actually moving in a right direction. From what I read they promise an interactive "streetmosphere" in the star wars land and an all encompassing interactive expirience. That sounds a lot more like the disney I know where you never know what you'll find just here and there.
I don't have personal connections to the current restaurants I think the only restaurant I ever ate at in DHS is that little place at the end of the Honey I shrunk the Kids Playground, with tables that look like the side of the backlot tour vehicles (I'm sorry I can't remember what it was called the comissary? something?), and pizza planet once (But I was disappointed that It looked nothing like the one in the film). I love the Cantina scene in Star Wars and I've even reflected it in my own sci fi writing. I liked Indy but its an acceptable loss same with the backlot tour (which has stunk since Motors came) and motors itself, well I guess it was too much of a "guy's show" for me to really get into. New York street, err sorry Streets Of America, looks really old fashioned and falling apart. Muppets I'll miss though but maybe they'll make a new muppets thing because of the movie.
Although I didn't care much for the Cars movies (dodges tomatoes and stale churros) I do think they did a good job in DCA. They created a nice atmosphere that looks like it came directly from the movie. In fact they essentially built a modern town inside the park. The theming of both these lands will mold in great with the park as it features similar architecture and colors.
This has the potential to be a really good park after this.

The food at Mama Melrose is fine, but there's so many Italian places on property that I don't think it would be a big loss. I think 50's Prime Time and Sci-Fi however are cool experiences and should be kept.
I always thought they'd just convert Backlot Express to Mos Eisley cantina, but I was wondering if there might be an issue with it currently being a quick serve and potentially making the cantina a sit down. I think it would be fine, but I guess that might be the motivation to putting Mos Eisley in the Mama Melrose space or building a new restaurant anew.
I'm still hoping that Pizza Planet get moved to the Studio Catering Co location and actually gets built to look like a real Pizza Planet (including the games).

And the talking robot guards at the automatic doors. Paris couldn't even get that right.

Well I didn't mean to say I hated them Its just that I never been to them. I remember seeing pictures of them in brochures and souvenier books I thought the Sci Fi Drive in looked really cool and probably would have loved it but I cant say ill miss something I don't know from!
Oh! I just remembered they had an Aladdin breakfast there when I was young that was very magical. A corner of the room had a lamp that when you rubbed it smoke would come out (some kind of projection not real smoke, it looked like the Genie's tail) The think where you pour the cream was also shaped like the lamp. They may have been something shaped like Jafar's lamp but I don't remember. (that was back when I was young enough to wear my princess costumes to the park I got to "kiss" aladdin as jasmine
) Yeah that Pizza planet reallly disappointed me. I expected to see a big saturn shaped thing complete with the robot gurads and the whack a alien the ship blasting thing and claw machines resembling rockets and filled with specially made squeezy aliens yet what I found was a weird redressed building filled with mediocre pizza, and the same arcade games you can see at chuck e cheese (or six flags lol). I did like Buzz Lightear toy in the pizza planet truck buckled in though.
Do they ever still use it? Only saw it open in 2002.

This guy on another forum said that I didn't know what I was talking about and that the Mine Train was going to be "like Splash Mountain level". I've given up complaining because nobody is listening and everyone is in denials. I'll just sit back and keep giving Universal my money.
So I want to send this questionnaire to the presidents of WDW and UO on Monday morning:
1.) Did your movie studio release a hit animated movie recently?
2.) Does your theme park have a relevant and popular attraction based on said hit animated movie?
3.) Did that same theme park already add two new additions that were uncontested home runs in the same year as your hit animated movie which also already has an existing and popular attraction based on that very same hit movie?
Maybe just to maintain a neutral data set, I'll send DLR a copy too.

What are you getting at here? I don't want to see any more rides based on animated movies. I've had my fill of that crap.

I'm assuming he's drawing a comparison between Universal's Despicable Me 2 and Disney's Monsters University since they are both performing well at the box office and have attractions both open and under development at the resorts.

Disney and Pixar have released quite a few animated films, sometimes they get two hits a year. Your "questionnaire" doesn't make sense as . . . why would a theme park have a popular attraction on "said" hit movie that was just released? I won't even try to figure out what #3 is about. Would the goal be to annoy somebody with this questionnaire? It sounds kinda angry . . .
Since there won't be an announcement of anything happening at DHS, it is amazing that this thread is still going!

The Monsters Inc. ride in DCA . . . often has no waits. I like the queue better than the ride.
Will Monsters U outdo Monsters Inc? Monsters Inc. is the #5 Pixar film, for now, but I'm glad they went with Cars for Carsland over Monsters Inc. Though there are monster references, the world of Monsters Inc. seems kinda ordinary to me.
Just because ride concepts have been looked at, doesn't mean that full-time development is currently being ramped up for a ride.
When did you hear there wasn't going to be an announcement?
And if you're unhappy with this thread still being open, you can always complain to the moderators. And if they're unresponsive, well, you have other options.....

Why so much with Cars? Pixar has so many movies, i swear Cars was made as an easy merchandise product. Is it really that popular to have both Cars Land in Cali and a Cars Dark ride in Florida? Why not something related to Up or Wall E or another pixar movie? I would say Monsters or Nemo but both have some attractions or shows.
Also very sad to see that Sci Fi Dine In could be gone especially since ive eaten there every time i've visited. Such a cool place to have dinner or lunch at.

It's all about merchandising, Cars is Pixar's most profitable franchise.
