I little bee buzzed in and says that a certain Orange will start rotting away earlier than July 27 but instead is now July 14, and that Timon is leaving his lot for good July 6 so that some new cars can start.

What/who is your source?

I've received confirmation on the info that nemofinder22 posted back on Post #88, that the Timon Parking Lot is, indeed, closing permanently July 6, 2009. I've added a new entry for the parking lot closure to the Cars Land section of the Project Tracker.

Timon Parking Lot - Closure and demolition

Details: The Timon Parking Lot will close permanently to make room for the upcoming Cars Land expansion as well as additional backstage construction.
Project Status: To begin July 6.

I'm still unable to confirm that the Orange Stinger is closing earlier than planned. The Disneyland web site still has it closing July 27, and this week's MousePlanet update also had the close date listed at July 27. I'll keep an eye out for more info.

I cant wait to see some vertical construction for Cars Land. Things are going to start getting really good. haha

I'm bummed out that the Timon parking lot is closing I enjoyed being lucky enough to park there and not have to worry about the mob of people that always congregetes for the M&F structure. I havent tried the Eeore lot but the Simba one is also now a good option for me.

Does anyone know if the Disney Way Entrance (coming from the Gardenwalk area) will still be open during construction for you to drive through the resort & make the u-turn in M&F? I love how easy it is to get into the resort from the 5 North that way and really don't want to go back to coming in on Ball.

I'm dying for more artwork and models for buena vista st and cars land. Hopefully one of those will have a model in the new preview center to replace the paradise pier model. I can't wait to see what they put in there!!!!!!

^^Same here!

Regarding Hollywoodland, it was something officially dreamed up at WDI and unveiled last year to employees. Whether or not it becomes a reality, well... it's just too soon for that. Even if they currently say it's scrapped, it could always come back.

On Soarin World, it was never official. It was wishful thinking and something that Marty Sklar brought up as well. He was hoping that they would make one by 2013, but there is nothing to support that it will actually happen at this point.

yeah i never heard anything about a new soarin movie, the only times i have heard about it is on the Disney sites. Its interetsing to hear that even Marty mentioned the possibility.

I enjoy the California version, and its all about California. It would be much cooler if Epcot would get it.

It's not really trackless. The tracks are under the floor so as to not be visible to guests.

(You can see them under the water in the Tokyo DisneySea Aquatopia ride, which uses the same technology.)

No, there are no actual tracks in the LPS attractions at TDR. What you may be seeing are simply track marks from the tires of the vehicles. From what I gather, the trackless system is essentially a local positioning system (LPS) that has a computer actually guiding the vehicles as they move thropugh the ride. Apparently the vehicles do revieve data through a matrix embeded in the floor, but that is not a track. There are other "trackless" systems that use wires in the floor, or have the cars follow painted lines, but I find these to be inferior to the Tokyo system. None of those would allow you to do the type of things seen in Hunny Hunt.

Here's a screenshot from this week's "Midweek Update" on CAST TV:



Also, there's this:


...The host adds that the Blue Sky Cellar will open with an updated show on July 16th.
