0:21 I bet Luigi's voice plays as the safety announcement (to keep your hands, arms, feet and legs inside the tire and to watch your kids)

[mslinkinthebottombar]

omg they brought back the hover ride AWESOME!

[Tampajoe77]

fuck Donald Duck.. luigi needs a ride as fast as possible...

bye bye roots of imagineering...

[Elemiriel]

That looks awesome! I have always wanted to ride a giant air hockey puck!!! Seriously lol

[chaisingjordan]

They should call it barely hovering tires...

[xj22jaguar]

AWESOME! I had always wanted to do the Flying Saucers at Disneyland but was born 20 years too late.

I know this isn't the same, but it will be my opportunity at long last! Hats off to Disney and I am happy Eisner is gone, there wouldn't have been enough room for both his ego and this project to co-exist.

[rockoncat89]

That doesnt seem like much fun, and I can just imagine the wait times :/

Thought you might like to know: I featured this video of yours in my article, "Retroland: Disneyland Through the Ages - Part 1" (I'd link if YouTube allowed). In the article, yesterday's "Flying Saucers" attraction is compared with the upcoming "Luigi's Flying Tires" ride at DCA. Thanks!

[KokasIsland]

Human Air Hockey meets Bumper Cars in a Hovering Italian Tire Theme sort of way. I give it about 12 Months before they tear it down for something else related to a new Pixar movie due out next spring.

[familyruncorn]

"Imagineers and their kids"...why couldn't I have been an Imagineer's kid?

[mandalilpanda]

is it just me or are these the flying saucers from tomorrowland?

[BlackStarx3]

@mandalilpanda they are :] without the balloons and rubber balls atleast

[RocketRodder]

Let's just hope those lines won't be HOURS AND HOURS like it was for the old tire ride.

[MsTiauna27]

This ride doesnt seem very fun

[disneyboi21]

Yes! They are basicly bringing back the old flying saucers!

[bailey9600]

STUPID, STUPID, STUPID..... ONCE AGAIN, DISNEY IMAGINEERS HAVE LOST THEIR CREATIVE MINDS. ANYBODY WHO REMEMEBRS DISNEYLAND IN ITS INFANCY, REMEMBERS THE FLYING SPACE SHIP RIDE THAT THIS TAKES AFTER. THE SAUCERS WERE HARD TO CONTROL AND TECHNOLOGY AT THE TIME WASN'T WHAT IT IS TODAY... IM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED THAT DISNEY'S IMAGINEERS COULDN'T HAVE DEVELOPED SOMETHING BETTER FOR A PARK THAT DESPERATELY NEEDS "FRESH NEW IDEAS" ...NOT RECYCLED ONES.

[RocketRodder]

@bailey9600 Then don't go.

Then don't go.  That simple.

[WDI2008]

Isnt this based on the on the Old Flying Saucers at Disneyland ?

[DisMupPix010]

@WDI2008

Yup

[TheSpiralOrder]

The original ride was in Tomorrowland. It was a flying saucer ride. Awesome ride, but it was prone to glitches. Too fat, you got stuck there. Too thin, you got flipped over. Hopefully they fixed that or it'll be lawsuit city.

[sideslide23]

I'm waiting for carlands to open. so I can rid ethe race cars, flying tires, and the mater's junkyard jubilee hayride.

[mrchickenwing98]

Wait, wait wait wait wait wait wait... I was expecting the saucers to be higher! What the hell!!! Project Blue Book had better flying things than you (cant call them flying saucers because these are tires, I guess...)!

[Indicatedzero24]

yay red sox!!!

[adamkehoe73]

tyres are spelt wrong.

it's 'tyres' not 'tires'.

[thespy672]

@adamkehoe73 no it ain't

it's tires

[adamkehoe73]

@thespy672 stupid americans!

the english invented the word 'tyres'.

[Benstudio13]

@adamkehoe73 Well us Americans spell it "tires".

[jar0fdirt63]

an awesome way to bring back the flying saucers! i cannot wait!

[GrintSistah]

I'm pretty sure they had this ride when DL first opend ! It ended up not working like they wanted and was shut down not long after that. So it's awesome that they brought back one of Walts origanal ideas. =D

[sgtpepper1138]

@GrintSistah Yeah, they lasted for 5 years.

if you want a great website for old Disneyland stuff check out Yesterland. It's a great website to check out all the cool things that were there.

[bobrobert13]

@GrintSistah Ya, but it wasn't when it first opened. a few years later.

[Benstudio13]

@GrintSistah It wasn't an original attraction. Disneyland opened in 1955. Flying Saucers opened in 1961 and closed in 1966 because the technology for it was costly and Disney wanted to save money. Space Mountain and Captain EO sit where Flying Saucers used to be.

[zac613]

@GrintSistah yes it was called Flying Saucers and it was in DL. now the Star Tours sits in the place where the Flying Saucers use to sit.

[andimbipolar]

@GrintSistah your right in a way. First Version used water as the platform, now its air jets

[joeyobrian]

@GrintSistah they had this in the old time tomorrow land it was awesome they took it out in 1996 and it was installed into the disneyland ca tomorrowland in the early 50's. Man I must be the only one born then in that decade
