Any of you posting with children under the ages of 8 would understand how huge the cars franchise is to Disney. The opening the park is going to be a major success. Not to mention that a new Cars movie is opening next summer. This will be a must visit for any family with kids. As for the quality of the Cars movie, it is a great piece of film making, I have had to watch it about 1000 times with my kids and unlike almost any other movie, it doesn't make me want to shoot my self in the head.

@thepascalhouston Don't insult the fact that the Disneyland resort is smaller that the WDW resort. What would you expect from the limited space that the old Disneyland parking lot had to offer?

When my 6 year old brother saw this, he just about damn near lost his mind.

Looks like we're going to Cars Land! :D

I'm pissed that Finn McMissile won't be in this. :(

@mountainwalrus100 Well no, that's the main reason why they've decided to renovate the park. The predominant reason was because the park was redundant. I mean, think about it. A theme park in California based on other attractions that are in...California. It really is redundant. Overall, as an Annual Passholder, I'm glad they've decided to give the park a spark of new life. It's refreshing, and watching the park transform over time is interesting.

The Cars movies really do suck, but I like the idea for a Cars ride, you know? I mean, a Ratatouille ride doesn't sound as exciting.

I really like the re-theming of California Adventure. The original idea for DCA was a park geared more for adults that didn't have Mickey's on every corner, but at the end of the day, kids are the reason that people go to theme parks. At the end of the day, I think people want a Disneyland part 2 instead of an adult theme park or even a thrill park like six flags.

@coastermaniac16 well the rides not done yet, so they showed u what they are planning it to look like.

[JoaquinandRene]

They didn't want to show anyone how it will look like, otherwise it would've been SPOILED!!

[JoaquinandRene]

I went there 3 weeks ago. The place looked small from being close to it. I thought it would've been the size of a REAL Mountain.

The end was retarded. I really wanted to see what rsr would look like.
