Looking at all the parades from the other parks, Disney Dreams is the worst. They should have gotten an entirely new parade for the 50th Anniversary. They're like Wal-Mart in park form.

Is that a gully-washer a'comin! Hold up your quarter panels! Hear it comes! YEEEEHAWWW! (as the water comes rushing down around him). Then we drive out, turn around the bend and drive right into the Radiator Springs town. At nighttime, all the neon lights would be on with the bee-bop 60's music playing.

If it were done at all, I would bet money that it would be almost as boring as the Indy Speedway. The backlot tour could be repurposed into something better, but a Cars Go-cart ride is not it.

How would anyone be able to appreciate Pirates-like detail if they have to worry about avoiding the walls, other drivers, or even a guide rail? If one wanted a themed Cars attraction, I would want something other then just go-carts. They have a low capacity and, as I mentioned earlier, inherent storytelling limitations as well as safety limitations. I am not against the idea for a Cars version of Catastrophe Canyon, but the ride system would be unsatisfying.
