Originally Posted By CDF2 You wonder on any bumper-car type of attraction if the lawyers had their say and decreed that the speed of the vehicles would be such that risk to riders would be minimized for fear of lawsuits arising from whiplash or other events resulting from vehicle bumps (as the word collision seems hardly appropriate for this ride). Notice testers are wearing helmets - don't suppose regular riders will be wearing those do they? Those of us who rode old Flying Saucer ride will mostly testify that the ride was unique and there was some amount of learning involved in how to get up speed for bumping but at the end of the day the ride was not a hughly compelling one or even a must do (as it was an expensive E ticket back in the ticket book days). So unless one had the special Magic Key ticket books (all tickets good for any attraction but only available through Disney Club groups) or it was a special unlimited passport day (had those for a month or two every couple of years when they drained the Frontierland ROA for maintenance) one might skip the ride altogether. So at this point, figuring the tire ride to be just another of the "second tier" attractions that makes being a repeat or frequent visitor fun as it provides a bit of spice or variety compared to the bigger attractions that the "once in every 5 years" visitor will focus on.

But the attraction itself leaves something to be desired - that something being a memorable experience. After a longer-than-average wait (since the ride's capacity is so small), most guests will find the flying tires, which are essentially giant inner tubes hovering over a bed of air blasting out of the surface of the arena, difficult to control and, even when operated correctly, somewhat lethargic. It wouldn't be surprising for this attraction to be replaced with standard-issue bumper cars in the near future, which would be a more thrilling experience (especially since the park's other version of bumper cars, in the other Pixar-themed land based on "A Bug's Life," also suffers from design flaws that restrict the potential thrill of banging into other vehicles.)" <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/disney-s-cars-land-an-immersive-drive-through-pixar-s-playground" target="_blank">http://www.examiner.com/articl...ayground</a>

Look at most of the Legoland attractions and you'll know what I mean. Heck, most of the Camp Snoopy attractions at Knott's have lower capacity - even the major attractions have low capacity - Silver Bullet anyone?
