RC Racer
Template:Infobox roller coaster
RC Racer is a steel roller coaster located in various Disney Parks, including Walt Disney Studios Park in Paris, Hong Kong Disneyland, and Shanghai Disneyland Park. It is themed around the popular Pixar film series Toy Story. The ride is designed to resemble a toy race track from the movie, with the coaster train representing a toy car being propelled along a U-shaped track.
Design and Experience[edit | edit source]
RC Racer is manufactured by Intamin and is categorized as a Half Pipe Coaster. It features a large, U-shaped track with a height of 25 meters. Riders experience multiple forward and backward motions as they are propelled up each side of the track, simulating the feeling of being on a giant scalextric set. The ride does not feature any inversions, but the height and speed provide a thrilling experience, especially as the coaster reaches the top of the track and momentarily gives riders a feeling of weightlessness.
Theme[edit | edit source]
The theme of RC Racer is based on the character RC from the Toy Story films, a remote-controlled car that plays a significant role in several of the movies' key scenes. The ride's design and theming elements are intended to immeran immersive experience that replicates being part of the Toy Story universe. The queue area and surrounding environment are decorated with other Toy Story characters and motifs, enhancing the thematic experience.
Locations[edit | edit source]
RC Racer is featured in several Disney parks around the world:
- Walt Disney Studios Park in Paris, France, as part of the Toy Story Playland area.
- Hong Kong Disneyland, within the Toy Story Land section.
- Shanghai Disneyland Park, also in a dedicated Toy Story Land.
Reception[edit | edit source]
The ride has been well-received for its unique design and strong thematic elements. It is particularly popular among fans of the Toy Story franchise and families with children. However, due to its repetitive motion and relatively short ride duration, it may not appeal as much to thrill-seekers looking for more intense roller coaster experiences.
