Bruno Lancetti Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Crush's Coaster - Un Tourbillon d'Aventures and Quatre Roues Rallye - Cars, are the two novelties of Toon Studio, the new Disney Studios Park area!!! Here you can see some pics taken yesterday during the special "pre-opening" (the first one ever for the public!!!) for Disney contractors and vendors. Toon Studio is now complete and works very well. Some adjustments are planned before the official opening that will be held there the 9th June 2007. The coaster is a partially customized Maurer Soehne indoor spinning coaster. It confirms the German manufacturer as a leader in spinning coasters!!! The other ride is a Zamperla double Demolition Derby 2. "Cars" is the 9th ride realized by the Italian manufacturer for Disneyland Resort Paris, so this confirms again Zamperla on the podium as a family rides market leader. A nice and sweet cast member at Disney Studios... with me!!! The Castle ...equipped with... special candles and a big "15" sign Double Demolition Derby 2 in action Mc Queen has never seen tons of cars together... Mr. Mc Queen? Could you check my tires pressure please? Mr. Mc Queen? What's about our oil??? We need a check... Yess... I'm the official top sign!!! Do not miss the opportunity to take a picture when the ride is in motion!!! Anyone wants to take a picture with this backwall scenery??? Due to dark "inside"... also a backward POV could be considered a mission impossible!!! Studio n° 5 - The new Nemo's home... Yes these 2 crazy guys are Italians like Luigis '500 I'm Mc. Queen - I'm the Speed!!! Cars - a general view... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Divv3k Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Wow. Great photos - thanks! How was Crush's Coaster? Is theming on the inside extensive? It looks like such a cool area. I really need to get back to DLRP once Tower opens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gax Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 nice update, I never knew that crush's coaster had that outside part! I wasn't amazingly excited about going back to DLP because I've done everything there a million times, but this as well as TOT all looks incredible! good work disney!

Bruno Lancetti Posted May 20, 2007 Author Share Posted May 20, 2007 Two extra Nemo's vehicle pics!!! Unfortunately I was not able to take nice pics inside!!! - Anyway, the ride is good, amazing, with a deep first drop, a couple of 90 degrees and 85 degrees banked turns, etc... but what comes first is the impressive lift speed - but... take care, sharks ahead!!! Ahahahah!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Lancetti Posted May 20, 2007 Author Share Posted May 20, 2007 I will post a video of "Cars" in the next few days... - For a video of Crush's ehm... I think you may ask to Disney staff a ride with lights on... or maybe we need some Robb tricks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Darnit, I wish they were previewing when I was there back in April! But - great to FINALLY see some on-site pix of the two attractions. One thing that still puzzles me in the design of this new area.... Shouldn't the sign for Toon Studios above the gate, be viewed... backwards? I mean, it is the 'entrance' to the Studios from Toon Town, yes? Just an observe and question. Thanks for sharing the pix. They're great! I hope to be back there in a couple of years ('09? '10?) but am hoping a 2008 TPR Tour will include DLPR. Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Great TR, I didn't know Crush went outside. I guess I'm behind a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Those trains on crush's coaster are soo cool X D what exactly does cars do? Cars "Race Rally" is basically a pair of figure 8 layouts, where the cars do a circle then 'change over' to the opposite circle, then back again, and so on. Don't know if that's what somebody called a "Break Dancer" flat ride, earlier. But it's my best description of it, lol. Single figure 8 setups are already at Disney, with Francis' Lady Bug Boogie at DCA, and (what I call the) Kelp Kups in Mermaid Lagoon at Tokyo Disney Seas. This is the first time they've designed an attraction with a pair of the layouts, close to each other. Old version of Cars' Race Rally. More 'complicated' too, heh heh. Can't remember where pic found. But thanks to 'whoever' took it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
