Autopia going electric

[GoingSince1990]

Great news. I’ve always felt bad for the CMs who are exposed to those horrible fumes all day.

Maybe they will put speakers in the car with engine sounds, like RSR.

I am torn on this. I understand the need for modernizing, but I'm weird and sort of liked the gas fumes. It unlocked good memories. But then again, I'm also the person who huffs one of my H20 lotion bottles when I need an endorphin boost. Apparently smells associated with memories are very important to me.

I guess I'll pick my battles. The one smell they better never take away from me is the Pirates bromine chemical water!

It's a well-known fact that sensory perceptions often become linked in our brains with emotions. Even if the smell isn't what you'd consider pleasant, if it's tied in with happy memories, it can evoke them when you smell it and bring out the happy vibes. Conversely, the experience can bring back the smell memory so maybe when we all ride the new odorless electric Autopia cars, the gas fume smell will rush into our minds .

Boo! Terrible news. I loved the sound and the feel of cars as a kid.

I wonder if that’s the smell I refer to as “meningitis in the air”— misty swamp is not my thing, but I’m glad that some people enjoy it.

So you must not like the dinosaur section of the train ride, either? It's also swampy.

Haha, I’ve actually never noticed it! We rarely take the RR, and almost never through the Dinosaur section. Maybe I’m subconsciously avoiding it?

Wait...what??? You just take the train to get from point A to point B? Heresy!!! IMO, the main reason to take the train is to see Primeval World and the Grand Canyon. Next time, consider doing a full loop before getting off at your destination!

This is screamingly overdue, of course., and they need to do it at MK, too. We (alleged adults) like the ride, but I always hold my breath in that area, since you can smell the fumes. I will miss the noises of the cars, though; hopefully, as someone mentioned, they'll pipe in simulated noise?

I’m also going to miss the rumble that you fee deep in your belly when you step on the accelerator. Totally not interested in a ride experience like being in a Johnny Cab.

They could replicate that. You might write to Disneyland and suggest it, along with the appropriate noises.
