Thanks! I'm not 100% finished with this, but when you round the corner, and head through the roll up door, you emerge into a robot operated assembly line of the future turning out the newest automobiles Ford has to offer;



Still some detailing to do, but I hope you all approve!

I like the juxtaposition. Also, I like how you've kept the industrial nature of the attraction, and not shocked the rider by using the cliche all white that is so often seen in "notios of the future". You keep coming with them, and I'll keep coming back.

Please do keep coming back!

One more pic of the modern, redesigned, two level assembly line;



Oh no, yet another roll-up door! Wonder where that leads?

Thanks guys, means a lot!

Here's a quick look at the third and final room of the Ford Experience. The cars glide through a room full of Ford ads while various Ford jingles play faintly. See original ads dating back to the 1910's, right through to the Hybrid ads of today!

You know I'm on board with the rest, but I gotta say it again, Nice work. I've noticed another nuance that I missed with the first pic, but picked up in the second. You're new assembly line has a real 'monsterish' feel to it. It is almost as though it is a harbinger of the future with robotics. "Have we gone too far?" It really is a nice addition to the ride. Then you follow it up with the brighter area, and it seems OK again. That is extremely Disney of you (a compliment... this time ). In their movies [especially the earlier ones like Bambi and Dumbo (I got a 3 yr old )] and their park attractions Disney uses softer scenes to lessen the harder impact of some of their scarier ones. Even in the PC Snow White ride at MK this is still done, though not so much in Pooh's Adventures. Really well thought out work my friend.

Thanks. I was thinking of a corporate sponsored event, and this seemed like a logical conclusion to the ride. The entire ride is only about 60 seconds long, as it fits a rather small space, but I think it works! Thanks for the vote of confidence!

You come up with the neatest ideas.

LOL I've never seen any of these ads, but seeing them as part of a building tour is AWESOME!!
