Radiator Springs Racers Testing pics

[Fishbulb]

Well, I was up on the Fun Wheel doing my usual picture taking for our In The Parks blog and something over in Cars Land caught my eye. Low and behold, they were doing vehicle testing for Radiator Springs Racers. Now, the area that I saw the testing taking place was the racing section of the track. Sadly it was not racing. In fact, there was only one car on one of the two tracks and it was moving at what I estimated to be 5-10mph. What's more, the headlights and tail lights were blinking slowly on and off. There was also a large floodlight on a portion of the track.

But enough of my yammering, here are the pics...

It appeared to be the exact same type of car that was testing on a smaller section of track during early construction. That's all folks. What do you think?

The car really gives you a sense of scale, and shows how massive the rockwork really is.

I printed out each picture on its own sheet and paged through it like a flipbook. Now I can see it in motion. Animation!

This is one of those unique threads that sets Micechat far above other theme park blog sites, Fishbulb!

Thanks for staying on the look-out on behalf of us MCers for exciting photo opportunities such as this. I've been hoping for this, in particular. The realistic scale of the awesome looking, towering in conjunction with the rockwork gives the road (track) pathway that weaves in-between gives the ride a fun canyon feel.

I like the close up shot, too. Awesome zooming! Imagine how exciting this will be once the cars are traveling atfull speed....especially at night!

Flip thru them and record it. Instant video movie. If you do, you could create a "trip report" without actually leaving town.
