  - Also, a more complete - and Cars themed - Autopia wouldn't be bad. -- (link) - Mop🧹 Apr 4, 09:42 1
    - A Cars themed Autopia is a really bad idea IMO. You're going to take this sentient being, partially bisect it, sit in it and then strip it of its - JD Apr 4, 10:27

LIR: major Disney news (as we are going in late September, we will be too early for the new stuff :) ) -- (link) - Beaker 🍺 Apr 4, 08:02 [Backboard] 7
- This is probably an unpopular opinion but isn’t MK already kind of almost too big as it is? -- nm - znufrii Apr 4, 08:07 5

    - I was thinking the same -- nm - JD Apr 4, 08:53 2
