Cars Quatre Roues Rallye (Now Open!)

ICHAPMAN · April 18, 2007, 02:44:16 PM

OK - I've got to be the slowest person here, but I still don't get this attraction.

Don't get me wrong, it looks cool and the theming is wonderful, but I still don't understand WHAT this attraction is.

My impression from looking at some of the original concept art that has been in various forums/sites is that it's purely another "Genie / Dumbo" style ride without leaving the ground - a roundabout?.

I'd love someone to tell me I'm missing some larger part to this?.

Thanks

Iain

A closer comparison would be the Tea Cups. It spins you around on the ground. Not an e-ticket, but the theming is grand. And as my son loves the tea cups and Cars, I think this will be a big hit for him (more than Crush Coaster or ToT)

It's the same idea as Francis' Lady Bug Boogie at DCA:

Tea cups, but when your car reaches the "join" between the two turntables it switches onto the opposite one to do a figure of eight. I think it'll work better with four-seater spinning cars, like you're spinning out of control in the desert.

Cars Race Rally will have two pairs of turntables too, so it should seem a bit more "worthwhile". And if not, the Radiator Springs area will be very cool to walk around.

DLRP.FR reports that the cars sign is set on:

It´s a big sign for the tower and I can expect how it will shine over the toon studios.

Two things after seeing that video:

1)Cars RACE RALLY! How ironic when you see the cars movinging he he

2)Did I read somewhere that it was to have 2 sets of turntables, or just two turn tables?

tubbsy · April 21, 2007, 09:03:58 AM

It does look the same as Lady Bug boogie, doesnt it? Definately just two turn tables there

RnRCj · April 21, 2007, 11:21:46 AM

Looks pretty fun! :lol:

Welcome to the forum benjicool!

Wow, this video is great. I'm really impressed with how it looks in motion, quite a realistic reproduction of skidding through the desert sand actually.

It's nice that after tea cups, "ladybugs", Dumbos and flying carpets connected to metal poles and everything inbetween, we finally have a Disney fairground-style ride that makes sense.

There are four in total, each pair with 6 cars for a total of 12.

Ah, I get it now. I thought the cars would go round all four turn tables. D'OH!
:roll:
Ignore me, I havent had my weetabix today!

I was hoping they would go round all four, to lengthen the ride. Still, with increased capacity, the que should be better

adamguy_6 · April 22, 2007, 09:54:23 AM

Am I being sad when I say that this actually looks fun!

Some people say it goes slow, but If you watch closely, on one turn you may just 'skid' a little bit. However quite unexpectedly the car may be doing a full 360 as it turns round again!

Looks pretty funkay to me, and a GOOD addition for those small kids who otherwise only have Flying over Agrabah and Animagique to entertain them.

Greetings from in-side the magic...

a little fact to share...

did you know that the new car rally is the same theme as the tea cups in fantasyland and that is was built on the car parc of the castmembers back stage next to imagination building also toontown is just a back drop where you will meet @ greet charactors there is no more room to build toontown well done studio parc so much empty space hmmmm enjoy...
