Disneyland Resort (DL, DLR, DCA) Discussion Thread

I think Luigi's will be a good family ride. I'm fascinated watching the cars move around in what looks like a "random" path.

[Nrthwnd]

I'm hoping somebody gets a night video of it running.

 

It was also funny, watching the video again, and noting how many gp

were trying to take photos, then getting f-ed up by a sudden "dance move."

I'm probably heading to the parks tomorrow evening so I may try to get some footage. Depends on the timing.

I guess I was one of the few that really enjoyed Luigi's Flying Tires and rarely had problems navigating with the ride vehicles. That being said, I really loved Aquatopia at Tokyo DisneySea, so I'm certainly not going to complain about a trackless ride making its way to Disneyland...

 

And I don't think anyone should worry that the arrival of Luigi's Rollickin' Roadsters would prevent Disneyland from getting another trackless ride. Based on the footage shown during the Disneyland 60th Anniversary Special, it looks to be likely that the ride system is something in line with the trackless vehicles used on Ratatouille: L’Aventure Totalement Toquée de Rémy at Walt Disney Studios Park in Paris.

What ride? I'm assuming you mean the escape ride, not the Millennium Falcon ride? I wonder how fast their trackless ride vehicles can go, assuming the ride is intended to be thrilling.

[COASTER FREAK 11]

Just to give a comparison, spiderman is a very thrilling ride and it doesn't move fast at all.

[cfc]

^Yes, there are factors other than speed when it comes to "thrills."

[jedimaster1227]

^^I'm referring to the ride in which guests are put in the middle of a battle between the First Order and the Resistance. Based on the pre-viz footage shown during the special, many have deduced that this is an evolution of Disney's trackless ride technology being used for this attraction.

[cfc]

^Now that would be cool.

[Lameformer]

So something like Ratatouille at DLP?

 

I really enjoyed that ride, but I thought the motion simulation parts weren't that strong.

[Nrthwnd]

^ The motion thing is only as an option, depending on the attraction experience.

I felt they did pretty good, considering they were dealing with a lot of screens and films

for this first type/kind of trackless attraction of theirs, capitalizing on such technology.

 

Just one of many to come from Disney. (Hoping to see Two Level Trackless in my time.)

( ^ This is the Times' Review of Roadsters ^ )

Just found a pic of the Rollikin' Roadsters in a very positive Los Angeles Times review of the attraction.

This pic shows a bit of the undercarriage that's moving all of Luigi's cousins around. (o;

Hi All,

 

I am going to be down in SoCal the weekend of April 9th and plan on taking my girlfriend to the park on Sunday the 10th. Any thoughts on the expected crowds?

 

Thanks in advance.

[KBrylczyk]

^ That's the tail end of spring break. AKA all the locals will be getting their ya-ya's out before trudging back to school the next day. I'd say you're screwed.

Damn! I though spring break was over the weekend of April 1st... Oh well I just have to be smart with the fast passes.

 

Thanks for the heads up!

 

Edit: Any chance that the opening of Harry Potter World up the road might take away some of the crowds?

[Jew]

I doubt it. If one park is busy, you can count on the rest being busy as well.

[SoCalJasonland]

I guess per Chanel 7 news the River has the coffer dams installed and is partially drained.

[Nrthwnd]

Wow, very cool to see!

 

Thanks for sharing this!

 

[KBrylczyk]

That's awesome that they're leaving the theme intact for the waterfront area. Same can't be said for Disneyland Paris, home of the world's longest fence.

[Rollercoaster Rider]

This is on and off topic at the same time

 

Has anyone heard the dates for Disneyland's 24 Hour event in May?

[COASTER FREAK 11]

Disney has made no announce of any 24 hour party.

[Jew]

Disney has made no announce of any 24 hour party.

 

I dread how crazy the event will be if they do it this year with all those supplemental attractions down for construction. That has to reduce the theoretical park capacity by at least a couple thousand. Which means more angry AP's. It will be another fun night of reading tweets!

Well since they raised their Top tier pass to $1000, It probably solved the problem. Why they kept the month-to-month plan and Walt Disney World removed theirs is odd from what I've heard.

[COASTER FREAK 11]

Disney World never had a monthly payment plan. Disneyland is the only resort that had it.

Again to be on and off topic at the same time, The Non Florida Resident No-Blackout date option had a month-to-month plan. I thought all passes were. Sorry.

Only a handful of these awesome Disneyland 60th Castle prints left! All proceeds go to Jack Crouse's GoFundMe!
