Friday, March 4th, 2016This morning Linda and I were in DCA at 8 a.m. as part of “early entrance” time (because we stayed in the expensive but ridiculously convenient hotel), and after we entered the literally-empty Tower of Terror lobby (which was a creepy experience all by itself) and did the up-and-down thing, we were walking over to do Radiator Springs Racers when we encountered a new attraction, Luigi’s Rollickin’ Roadsters, which neither of us had heard of before.
There was almost no one in the entrance queue, and it looked like a little-kid ride more than an E-ticket sort of thing, but we thought what the heck; we should try it. It turns out it had opened just that morning, in a “soft open” for Annual Passholders; the official opening is this coming Monday. So we were accidentally two of the first visitors to ride it, and got to walk on with no wait.
It was a lot of fun! It’s more exciting than it looks; it has that new-style “trackless” technology, where the cars are basically following choreographed moves under computer control, such that they zip around but don’t ever run into each other, doing a “dance routine” that varies from one ride to the next.
So. That was nifty.
