MW Mini Driving School - Officially Confirmed

[ShakeShack]

I wonder if it will be used for the reason I said about

Who knows, that would be pretty cool but they will most likely just show looney tunes cartoons or the mw logo.

^Looney Tunes cartoons sounds like a likely option. I would say if it were to be the MW logo they could just build one.

[Reanimated35]

Looks like they're doing a pretty decent job with immersive theming. I hope they add finer details like the roof w/lights and some trees in the area too, but I'm not holding my breath.

The building's are quite big when compared with the guy walking down main street.

[iwerks]

Are they having traffic lights? What's the thing coming up in the middle of the street?

[rac2703]

That's were the mini fount of stars (water fountain from the front of Movie World) will be.

My guess would be that the piping would be for a mini-fountain which could provide a turn around point

[themagician]

Obviously it is the patching is not an exact replica of the park. They have done it so it fits into the space.

[Reanimated35]

And here I was expecting a 1:1 scale

[themagician]

I didn't mean it in that way. I meant I was expecting the layout to be the same (but on a smaller scale). When I first heard about the ride I was thinking kids would enter through the main gates and could drive near/around rides, down main street and into the western and kids wb areas. But I understand that they would have had to work with the space and it couldn't be an exact replica.

BREAKING NEWS: I managed to see a worker testing out one of the ride cars it indeed is red and the car moves vet fast they look just the same as Speedys but the cars there are yellow and mini cars driving school cars are red!

[Reanimated35]

Thank you, for the information we already knew from the media release.

That car could have been prototype or a fake..

[Brad2912]

Yes, they called the media out to the park to take photos of a fake car.

Yep, that's definitely what happened...

Whilst it isn't the best structured post, I think the 'breaking news' is not that the car is red, but rather that the ride is in testing.

[mba2012]

If an adult (I'm assuming that this worker is an adult) was testing one of the cars that may mean parents might be able to be more involved in the ride than you would have though (as in they'd fit).

[Brad2912]

Well I highly doubted they were going to get some random kid to do the testing...

[Spotty]

Adults could fit into the speedy's cars and drive them IF they had to... with great difficulty... same as the Taz Cars... when they died in the middle of the track. I would call it the "clench and squish" method. I'm 6ft 1 and if I can drive a speedy's taxi... anyone can*







* Doesn't mean they should

I remember driving the Tijuana Taxis when I was about 11 and it was painful. As a skinny guy, there is no way in hell that I would attempt to ride the Mini-Cars now that I'm older. If only they made the vehicles like Autopia at Disneyland. Small enough for kids, spacious enough for adults. Can't believe I'm saying this but they should take Dreamworld's Model - T cars as an example. The vehicles on that ride are almost perfect for their purpose.

[downunder196]

They're totally different rides though...

[Zanstabar]

They're totally different rides though...

True. I just have this little thought in my head hoping that the ride is going to be more family friendly than Tijuana Taxis, even though we already know it's basically a more detailed and extended clone. One can dream, right?

[Jay Jay The Jet Plane]

The Person who was testing the ride one Sunday was skinny. They fitted the alright I think if some people who overweight who try enter the car might have a hard time getting in the car (no offence to people who might be overweight)

[downunder196]

If it's like the Legoland Driving Schools I won't be disappointed, they're great attractions for kids.

Never been to the Legoland Driving Schools, but can say that they look like a great ride. If that is what Mini-Cars will be like, I will be so happy

[lolman123]

^ we are dreaming now.
