Swing and sway with a herd of baby tractors in Mater’s Junkyard for a Cars Land Jamboree you aren’t soon going to forget. This particular ride video contains the rare “error” track where Mater forgets the lyrics to the song “Welcome to Radiator Springs”. The story behind this is that Imagineer Kevin Rafferty originally forgot the lyrics to one of the songs during a test recording session and John Lasseter thought it would be funny to include a track where Mater forgot the lyrics to the song. Listen for yourself:
The sign adds a trailer to the famous Tow Mater sign… pretty clever
Those lighting pieces usually aren’t there, but there is a neat photo area for guests to get a pic with a baby tractor
The queue is filled with props from the Mater’s Tall Tales Cars Toons
Awwww…
Guests having a great time
Overall, Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree is a lot more fun that we expected. The randomized music tracks for the tractors to dance to add a lot to the ride, and it packs a surprising wallop on those turns. If you are looking for a reasonable wait in Cars Land and a minute-and-a-half of fun, then the Junkyard Jamboree is the place.
I have the CD, and enjoy the MJJ songs. When I heard this one in the park, I started cracking up, and have been looking for it off and on for a few months now. In elementary school choir, when we forgot words, we were supposed to say "watermelon," so this song reminded me of that.
Thanks!
