"CARS" themed Autopia

Dsnymom · 05-02-2007, 01:03 PM

Just a thought. Do you think that They'll eventually exchange the Autopia cars for the ones from the pixar movie CARS?

If it wasn't for the Chevron contract, they probably already would have by now. Unfortunately the Chevron contract runs through 2010, I think.

Darn, I was just thinking yesterday that would have been such a cool idea.

I'm glad Autopia is not converting to Pixar's Cars. There is such a thing as going overboard. Autopia is fine the way it is. All it needs is a new paint job over the queue area.

I agree, with keeping the ride itself as it is. However I do think that changing the vehicles to the CARS characters would add to the excitement, specially for the kids.

You mean bouncing off the guide rail about 100 times going about 8MPH while driving their own car isn't excitement enough?

With the possible new land of Carland in the near future with an E ticket addition of Cars Test Track, I would not see the point in having two rides based on the same movie.... This is, if or when Carland ever comes.

PeoplemoverMatt · 05-13-2007, 10:45 PM

The concept art with the 'Carland' banner, which I say should be taken in the same stride as the Indy concept art with a loop, Jungle Cruise, and Jeep with the Mara with laser-shooting eye behind all them, meaning nice idea but good luck on it actually happening, I believe is an idea intended for where the Timon lot currently is.

That being said, with John Lasseter at the helm of WDI, I'd say there wouldn't be any problem if attractions based on 'Cars' ended up at both DCA & Disneyland Park.

Disney_Guy · 05-13-2007, 10:55 PM

Yes, you could be right... I mean, BLAB and the upcoming Toy Story Mania attraction, I suppose more than one attraction from the same movie can be possible in both parks...
But, BLAB and Toy Story Mania are like two different genres, BLAB is in a Sci-Fi setting, and from what I see in Toy Story Mania is some sort of carnival or western themed attraction..

Either way, if Carland ever comes here, it just wouldn't make sense to me having a Cars Autopia and Carland both, in distant and separate locations...

PeoplemoverMatt · 05-13-2007, 11:31 PM

It wouldn't make sense to me to have A Bug's Land and CarLand side-by-side, but to the head of Pixar turned head of Disney Animation and Imagineering, it probably would make total sense.

Disney_Guy · 05-13-2007, 11:54 PM

Everything makes sense nowadays. I mean, Monsters Inc. in Tomorrowland at WDW, New Orleans Square turning into Port Royal, and I still don't quite understand how A Bug's Life earned an entire land in a Californian themed park... I guess anything can happen.

CLASSIC HM · 05-15-2007, 11:20 PM

It'd be better for a "Cars" theme attraction to be at DCA instead of the Autopia. The Autopia is one of the few remaining attractions that opened in 1955. Also, I believe the "Cars" hype has gone away since it's been over a year since it came out.

I don't think that adding the "Cars" to Autopia would Change it. Keep the name, keep the ride, just change the cars, just like they've done before. And how long had Toy Story been out when they introduced BLAB and now Toy Story Mania. Same goes for "Monsters inc." and "A Bugs Life". Just because its been over a year since it came out won't stop them from changing it if they wanted to.
