Hey Rob, So I have been plain around with an idea to build a model of Radiator Springs Racers and would like to make it working. The reason behind this is because my partner and I are really struggling with money, and it seems like Disney fans would be willing to pay for something like this. What do you think? Any input?

There are GREAT thrills to it. Unfortunately from the videos it looks really slow and you don't see the kind of forces the ride really gives you. You get a bit of airtime on the bunny hills and when you take the turns, you get pushed into your seats pretty well! They ride does offer fast pass and single rider lines. Due to the ride being a show, you really can't interact with your part on the ride like you can on Luigi's and Mater. So when you are on the ride, it really doesn't make a difference if you are with your friends/family or not. As far as reliability goes, I got stuck on RSR twice in about a two hour time frame. Once in Luigi's tire room and the second time at the very beginning of the ride before going into the dark ride section. We had to get e-vac'd. It was very quick and easy process to be taken out of the ride. and we waited at the exit and then were put on the next available car. The ride seems really reliable, but it will not be without breakdowns similar to test track. Especially with all of the animatronics in the ride, you know disney will not run the ride even if the smallest character isn't working. It seems they have the downtime dealt with. What I mean when I say that is, when the ride goes down, they have it back up really quickly! Cyrus

I have to agree on the Trip report given. Racers is a great ride. Definitely a good time! Gave me chills every time you hit the big reveal to the waterfall. Mater is hilarious. Lift your legs up and smash into each other. You whip around so fast! It was probably the most enjoyable ride experience because you have fun, laugh a lot, and it allows you to be social while you are enjoying it. Luigi's Flying tire offers great ride viewing while you are in line and it is definitely fun to watch people hitting the giant beach balls around! The ride is fun to. We tried it both riding together and riding separately. We decided that riding separately is a bit more fun because you know other people riding. Riding together is fun too, it just requires you to work together a bit more so you spend more time talking about what direction to lean rather than just doing what you want to do. Cozy cone is definitely the most popular food location in Carsland. The cone serving popcorn was the most popular of all. The pickle flavor popcorn is AMAZING!!! Flo's V8 Cafe was a great Diner. Definitely a fun place to grab dinner with your family. The cast members have great costumes and the music is fun to listen to. Being in Carsland really feels like you stopped off in a small town off Route 66. Fun shops, food, people, and attractions to keep you busy. Though RSR line moves pretty consistently, be prepared to wait at least 2 hours if you go during the summer. Even during our preview the lines hit an hour and a half for RSR, 45 minutes for Luigi's, and 10 minutes(not bad at all) for Mater's. Cast members told us that during their preview they had an hour and a half wait as well for Racers. I would almost recommend planning your day to do Carsland Last. Enjoy shorter lines for the other attractions and then finish out your day at Carlsand. At night, there is NOWHERE in Disney that looks that spectacular. Definitely not a sight to be missed! Cyrus

I am just going to say really quick and it will be the last time I will stick up for the park. To say that SFMM is cheap, you are DEAD wrong. Sorry bout it! Correct way to say it is... Six Flags Corporate is Cheap. Moving coasters around the US and marketing them as new coasters is smart financially from a business perspective, but, to say that one particular park is cheap, you are just wrong. It isn't the park by itself making these decisions. Get some bigger perspective on the HUGE chain that is Six Flags, INC and realize that the corporate end is who makes the decisions. Who said drive six hours? Pick up your phone, or since you spend enough time in front of your computer screen, obviously, write an email. lol. At least a couple people seemed to have a few positive things to say and I agree with the few that did speak up. Green lantern was a cheap coaster at the guests' expense.

^^Neither do I! Still think it is fun and I always make a point to ride it while I'm at the park. Guys give six flags a year. They are fully aware of where the park is now. Just give it a year. In the mean time there is nothing constantly complaining is going to change. Seems like y'all have put out more than enough complaints. Try a positive outlook. I understand no one here seems to feel the park deserves positive feedback, but if you guys would just be patient, you'll be happy in a year! I agree that the operations don't seem to make sense to us, but there is method to the madness I'm sure. We just need to trust them. If its such an issue, go get a job there. They need more hard working employees. So go help them rather than just sit and complain at your computer screen. Get in contact with managers. It's not impossible to do. But stop sitting here and whining. Go make a difference! We all care enough, so put some energy in the right places and try to start suggesting changes! They need feedback and I know they pay attention to it.

Ok, I just have to say a couple things. First, patience. I know that by the time 2013 comes around, people will stop complaining so much about SFMM and sart really having some positive things to say about the park. People need to start realizing that there will be positive changes to the park. The new attractions are the main focal point of what is happening, however there are a lot of smaller changes being made, and they are going to be really great. Six Flags is not as pretty as Disneyland Resort or a Cedar Fair park, but thank goodness we have SFMM here, otherwise we would all be pretty bored without a major thrill park. Just bums me out NEVER hearing anyone here say positive things about SFMM. If it really bothers you, there's more that you can do to maybe contribute to some changes being made, but sitting at your computer and whining isn't going to do much.

I do enjoy seeing cars that are a bit different. The cube is an interesting vehicle, and even now Mini is coming out with a lot of new cars. The new Sportier version; the Mini Coupe is a cool and quite different car in my opinion. -
This is my partner and I at Disneyland This year. Was a good time. Nice to be back home from Pittsburgh to see my family. I am the one on the right. (taller one)

Thanks KC. I worked hard on it. I am so critical when I look over my work so I see all the little flaws in it. I am glad that you liked the first inversion. That is my favorite too!! -
Leech Was a coaster I created a few months back. It still has some work. Download it. Tweak it if you want. I'd love to see it smoothed out! Leech (NL) in Game Exchange Leech is a hand built custom coaster I built in my free time. It\'s got some work to smooth out some areas. I don\'t know how to get it all smooth. Any help would be appreciated. Hope you enjoy leech.nltrack Leech Download

It was alright. The ending just seemed a bit rushed. The banking was a little off on some of the turns. Realistically there would be some uncomfortable lateral G's. Looked like a good coaster though! I am a fan of small coasters that pack a punch. This coaster sparked my interest more than a lot of the coasters others have put on this site. Cyrus
