With the success of the second edition of the Disney/Pixar movie Cars the timing couldn’t be better. The happiest place on earth, Disneyland, has opened a dedicated world of Cars Land.
The largest piece of the five-year expansion at Disney California Adventure Park, Cars Land adds 12 acres of immersive excitement to the park and offers freewheeling fun for everyone as it brings the town of Radiator Springs to life, just as guests remember it from the blockbuster movie.
Yes, Lightning McQueen and the gang have a new home, and all of the characters should fit right in. As anything Disney, the goal is to have you feel right in the movie while at Disneyland.
The thrilling additions of Cars Land, Buena Vista Street and the Carthay Circle Restaurant and Lounge at Disney California Adventure add to the storytelling magic of the Disneyland Resort, a world-class, family vacation destination in Southern California with two theme parks, three hotels and the Downtown Disney shopping and dining district.
Cars Land invites guests to explore “the cutest little town in Carburetor County,” where they will enjoy three family attractions showcasing places and characters from the movie: Luigi’s Flying Tires, Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree and Radiator Springs Racers, one of the largest and most elaborate attractions created for a Disney theme park.
Themed shops and restaurants also look familiar to fans of the movie, including Flo’s V8 Cafe, Cozy Cone Motel and Ramone’s House of Body Art. The Radiator Springs locals are at home, so Lightning McQueen and Mater make appearances and pose for photos near the Cozy Cone Motel.
So who’s ready for a trip to Disneyland? It’s about time they added a few more classics that Autopia. Even though Autopia is a classic, its time for the new generation of kids to have some cars.
