It looks like Luigi is coming home from Italy, but he's not coming home empty handed. With his previous phase of his life lifting us with air on tires, we celebrate another milestone with his cousins. Wait a minute?! Luigi brought his cousins? 20 COUSINS?! All of them from Carsoli, Italy?! Oh no! What do they have in store for us at Casa della Tires?! Let's dance with the cousins from Carsoli and see what moves they have at Luigi's Rollickin' Roadsters at Disney's California Adventure.
Located at the end, but just before Radiator Springs Racers in Cars Land, you will find the new attraction at Disney's California Adventure. Luigi temporarily closed up his Luigi's Flying Tires to bring up a new trend in Cars Land. This one required having all of his cousins coming over and doing a synchronous dance. Walk in through Casa della Tires and see all the momentos that the cousins brought over from Italy. You'll see some wonderful posters, garage equipment, and more importantly Luigi's forte, tires.
The wait is on average about 40 minutes, but can move quite fast. There are 20 Cousins that you can choose from, but they all have a unique characteristic. Just to let you know, two cars are sisters: Gina has blue eyes and Rosa has green eyes. and This is the first ride in the United States that is TRACKLESS. So, you'll never know which way you'll be headed. There are five songs that are played and each cousin has a unique routine in which style they dance. You may be the car that is the star of the dance. Some of the songs are so familiar that a lot of the words that you speak everyday will end with an "O". i.e. Mambo Italiano. The kids will love it.
Now, I do have to spot some imperfections with Luigi's Rollickin's Roadsters. One is the wait. 40 minutes to see what Mater's Junkyard Jamboree does better is absurd. I would have preferred if Luigi didn't leave to Carsoli, Italy and left his Flying Tires behind. At least, I knew I wasn't going to be moving anywhere for sure. Since this is a trackless ride, you can be staying in the same area throughout the dance. Some of us thought we would be all across the dance floor like bumper cars without the bumping. I get the idea that this is very complex pattern system, but I was stuck on one side during the whole dance. As I mentioned, the kids will love it, but I can see some of the adults, like myself already seeing improvements on this long awaited attraction.
The overall attraction that Luigi is good. I do see some future additions with Luigi's Rollickin' Roadsters. You have five songs so far from some of the cousins, but what about the others? With a trackless system, you can see new patterns come in the horizon. When you think the ride is over, you'll be loving this one part where the whole Carsoli Family goes crazy. Now, imagine if you can dance with Luigi?! Wait a minute! Where is Luigi?! Did the cousins come here without him?! The dance floor is all theirs!
