Hi,

you may or may not know, Disney is building a Cars themed amusementpark, and guess what, they included a giant (1:1) slottrack!

Check out these vids:

It looks a lot like a further development of the Test Track ride in Epcot.

My family and I had the priviledge of a backstage tour of Test Track after my youngest opened Epcot and was Princess for the day

The "cars" are quite an awesome machine which cost around $500000 each, are fully computer controlled and run off multiple electric motors.

They do go quite fast around 65 MPH at test track at least. A most enjoyable ride.

Been waiting a while to see what Disney come up with next.

Mind you i hope it runs better than the Scalextric Lightning McQueen as my youngest daughter has been most disappointed with it.

That looks like 1/1 scale routed slot track, wonder how big the hand controllers are

If you care to sell it, I'd like to recommend myself as buyer ;-)
I think I will buy the Carrera one (as it is still available at affordable prices), but I like the expression of the Scaley one better.

That looks like my kind of roller coaster!
