Cars Land is a themed area in Disney California Adventure Park of the Disneyland Resort, inspired by the 2006 Disney·Pixar film, Cars. The 12-acre (4.9 ha) land was built as part of the $1.1 billion expansion plan for Disney California Adventure Park on the former Timon Parking Lot behind the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror and "A Bug's Land." Radiator Springs Racers, features the third-generation Test Track technology, an attraction found at Epcot in Walt Disney World. The land debuted on June 15, 2012.[1] Aside from attractions, Cars Land has dining and shopping venues as well.
History
Cars Land, along with the rest of the Disney California Adventure Park multi-year expansion, was announced on October 17, 2007.[2] However, the first indication of the new land was some concept art published in the Dreaming section of The Walt Disney Company's 2006 Annual Report.[3] Cars Land opened alongside Buena Vista Street on June 15, 2012.
Attractions
- Radiator Springs Racers — a slot car dark ride. The attraction takes guests in a six-person vehicle through a briefing with Doc and Lighting McQueen, characters from the film Cars. Suddenly, guests find themselves racing another guest vehicle through hairpin turns and steep banks, ending with a randomized race result.
- Mater's Junkyard Jamboree — an attraction in the style of a whip ride and the Mad Tea Party at Disneyland. The attraction is themed to Mater's Junkyard and the fields with baby tractors from the first film. Mater is the Master of Ceremonies of the Jamboree. The vehicles are tractors with pull cars attached to them that move around with the music.[4]
- Luigi's Flying Tires — an updated version of the original Disneyland attraction, Flying Saucers. This effect is achieved by large fan-like blowers shooting air up, like a giant air hockey table. Guests queue in the Casa Della Tires shop. A play area featuring a tire jungle gym, slide and kid-sized cars is located next to the attraction.[5]
Restaurants
- Cozy Cone Motel
- Flo's V8 Cafe
- Fillmore's Taste-in
Shopping
- Ramone's House of Body Art
- Sarge's Surplus Hut
- Radiator Springs Curios
Layout
The layout of Cars Land from the guest's perspective is one of looking down the main street of Radiator Springs, U.S.A., as seen in the original Cars film and before the time period in the Cars 2 film. The main street is Route 66 coming in from the Golden State area, across from the Golden Vine Winery and currently Walt Disney Imagineering Blue Sky Cellar. The other two entrances into the land is through a path in A Bug's Land between the entrance of Heimlich's Chew Chew Train and Tuck and Roll's Drive 'Em Buggies, and through a tunnel being constructed as a part of the rockwork making up Ornament Valley from the Pacific Wharf. The two other entrances are the same path crossing through the middle of Cars Land. The path's name is Cross Street. At the end of Route 66 is the courthouse/firehouse where the street splits. To the left of the split is still unknown, but it may be a backstage access gate. To the right of the split is the entrance to Radiator Springs Racers. In the distance, the Radiator Cap and Ornament Valley Range can be seen.
