CarsLand coming to Disney Hollywood Studios in Florida...how does this affect DCA?

I think it would be fantastic to have another ride that uses the same system as TT. Always been one of my favorites and besides being in a car on a track I can't see how anyone would think RSR is a copy of TT.

I am glad to hear that Carsland will be coming to DHS. Like DCA, DHS could use a few more attractions and this will fit in great. Someone on another similar thread suggested they incorporate the Cars 2 locations. That could be an interesting way to make it unique. Anyway it will be a couple of years before it can be built so DCA will have it exclusively for quite a while.
I like to think of it as being similar to what happens with a chain restaurant or clothing store. When you walk into a location of a national chain restaurant you know about what you will get. Locations tailor things to meet the local tastes and local market of course. But Chilis chips & salsa is about the same in Denver, Houston, Philadelphia and Atlanta. When you have a great concept, expansion often follows.

Not necessarily a copy, but the basic technology is that of a thrill ride. Even with minimal dressing up of the overall ride, it would be a pretty good thrill ride.

The OmniMover system was brought up, and that system in and of itself is supremely boring. It's simply a transportation system designed to move people through scenes.

Personally, I think it's a great idea. DHS needs something and Carsland has been a huge success. Business-wise, it may make more sense to have something different, but I just think it's neat that DHS is getting something cool.

I think it's a great idea that they are building Carsland in HS. It's about time they have more attractions geared to boys in WDW.

As WDW vets, we just got back from our first trip to DL to specifically see Carsland. While that was our main purpose for the visit, we really enjoyed all the different things that DL and DCA had. DL's POTC is far superior than the POTC at WDW. My older DS kept saying to me during the ride "Mommy, this is different that Disney World!" He was super excited! And my kids also LOVED LOVED LOVED HM Holiday. These are things that will always be unique to DL and things that we will always come back to see!

DH and I were already talking about planning our next visit in a few years.......

What makes something special is that it is unique. I don't want to see a Cars Land when I go to WDW. If I wanted that, I'd go to DLR.

If that's the logic, where's Beast's Castle going in at DLR? Where's Belle's gorgeous restaurant going in at DLR? WDW has its entire Fantasyland Expansion which is special to WDW (minus Ariel's, but even that has a spectacular queue). What happens at one Park does not have to happen at the other. Keep Cars Land special to DLR.

I still love WDW, but I am an East Coaster who definitely loves DLR better now. I am not surprised Carsland is coming to WDW, with all the money it is generating for DCA. I did talk to a few CM's over the last few months, who say there is going to be more mirroring of the parks. A lot of the park merchandise is generic to both parks already.
