This children's area is full of crap. Look at the colors, and how it feels more like some committee's idea of a children's area. The best part is the yarn playing area. They're saying it's an original piece, but I've seen it for sale at theme park conventions.

Really hope Mazda, with today's technology, are finally able to build a rotary engine that lasts and is reliable.
Part of the reason I have hated Elon Musk with every fiber of my being, long before he repeatedly flip-flopped on his political stances is because of how quickly he managed to fast-track and normalize soulless electric vehicles. He easily sped up the market's shift towards them by about 10 - 15 years.
And we can see at this point, it just isn't working. The current battery technology is too volatile, and total losses can happen if a single battery is punctured. A small fire becomes a raging inferno that melts the entire car down into molten metal. Range is lackluster, and towing ability? Forget it. That's why you don't see any electric construction vehicles.
Anyone with half a lick of common sense will tell you the future is in alternative fuels. Brazil have been fueling their cars with ethanol for longer than most of you have been alive.
A couple years back, it also seems every car and science journo colluded to smear research into hydrogen-powered cars; just look at this retard for instance, and how hard the comments section blow him the fuck out. And no, it's a fucking lie. Hydrogen engines do make noise.
Yeah, I remember the movie Who Killed the Electric Car. It was so obviously fake my roommates and I melted a lot on a stove we were warming water for. It feels like the entire narrative came from that movie.
I know Toyota has backed down from their electric goals. That's a really big thing. I was worried the new Celica would be electric or Hybrid.
Mazda has fairly good engineers. I hope they can do it.
You should post about the likely end of Kotaku.
All my sources would be from here.
