Anybody plugged into the Disneysphere, and plenty of people not plugged into the Disneysphere, are aware that this was a big week in Disney history. A bunch of years ago the Mouse opened Disney's California Adventure, an adjunct to Disneyland. In essence, they turned the parking lot into a second gate, and while there were a few hits within, like Soarin', for the most part the park was a critical bomb. Fast forward a few years, and mix in John Lasseter, and the next thing you know, last weekend DCA reopened with the addition of Cars Land, and it's the greatest thing since sliced whole wheat. There's three new Cars-based attractions, plus the hits from the past, and new theming to connect the park to the arrival of Walt back in 1923.
They're breaking down the doors.
Last weekend, there was a four-hour wait for Radiator Springs Racers, the E ticket of the new rides. Four hours? You could get in a real car and drive to Vegas in that amount of time. Who stands in line for four hours?
In essence, the ride is a reimagining of Epcot's General Motors Test Track, with Cars characters. The theming is amazing, with a whole mountain and a city and whatnot. And in the spirit of saving you the trouble of flying to California (or, if you're already there, daring the freeways) and waiting on line for four hours, we offer two videos. The ride bifurcates, and you either go through Luigi's Tire Shop or Ramone's Paint Shop. Here's videos of both. They're not professional, but they're not bad.
Too bad the DisAd13 won't be there!
