I was sitting here wondering if they used anything from the Rockets Rods (Like pieces of track or something else) for Radiator Springs Racers.

Re: Did Rockets Rods, and RSR use the same technology?
I dont think so. From what I understand from reading all the posts here is that they used the concept from Test Track at Epcot as a base but have upgraded it with newer technology. I read that it is the most safisticated ride ourthere. ( please correct me if I am wrong, I could be). I think that rocket rods tech is outdated now. There might be some of Al's older articles that go a bit more indepth to the creation of RSR's.
Not sure if this answered your question but maybe pointed you in a general direction to find the best answer? -

They both run on electricity and both shoot you down a track... That's about where the similarities end I believe.Comment

The track designs are way different. I believe the Rocket Rods was the only one of it's type thus far.Comment

Rocket Rods used technology derived from that used at Test Track whereas the Radiator Springs Racers technology is a direct descendant of the Test Track technology.Comment

Re: Did Rockets Rods, and RSR use the same technology?
The track is indeed under the actual "road". RSR and Rocket Rods both use a variation of the busbar electrical system for power.Originally posted by mratigan View PostComment
