• Construction is underway at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, with no opening date announced yet.
• Located in Frontierland in the area now known as “Piston Peak National Park.”
• This area is completely unique to Disney World and not a copy of the space from California Adventure.
• Two new attractions will join the Magic Kingdom line up, Miss Fritter’s Daredevil Spin-Along and Cars Ridge Run Rally.

The Cars rides will debut in the all-new Piston Peak National Park in Frontierland. We expect two attractions as announced at D23 in 2024.

From concept art, it seems we’ll keep certain elements of the current Frontierland like The Diamond Horseshoe and Country Bear Musical Jamboree. Inside this new space in Frontierland you’ll be able to stroll the frontier and explore some favorites from Pixar’s Cars.

Cars Ridge Run Rally (Under Construction)

Dubbed the wildest race in the “wheelderness”, riders will compete for the fastest lap in the west.

Through the journey you’ll take on wild terrain and explore the rugged beauty of America’s national parks, including a climb up Piston Peak itself, where an icy, snow-covered mountaintop awaits.

Be on the look out for geysers and join in on Mater’s favorite passtime—splashing through mud holes!

Then sprint to the finish line where Lightning McQueen and Mater are covering the race live on Racing Sports Network.

This second attraction will be geared towards little ones and will be fun for the whole family! This ride system seats up to 4 guests in a demolition derby vehicle, just like from Cars 3.

Will we see new dining options in Frontierland once the cars arrive along their route? Trying out all the new food at Walt Disney World is one of our favorite pastimes, and our imaginations are going wild just thinking about what dishes we might find here.

Taking a look back at the Cars film franchise, there is some inspiration that might be used for new foodie finds in Magic Kingdom. We think these options would be super incredible:

1. Mater’s Junkyard BBQ – This could be a hearty, rustic BBQ joint inspired by Mater’s junkyard. We’re thinking classic BBQ dishes like ribs, brisket, cornbread, and baked beans. But would this option be different enough from Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe to stand alone?
2. Luigi’s Piston Pitstop – Drawing inspiration from Luigi's tire shop in Cars, this could be a family-friendly pizza and pasta restaurant with a frontier twist. We think wood-fired pizzas, spaghetti, and breadsticks, giving it a rustic feel would allow it to fit into Frontierland. A quick service option would make certain it differs from Tony’s Town Square Restaurant on Main Street.

While neither of these options have been confirmed, we always enjoy daydreaming about food and the future of Walt Disney World. We can’t wait to see the transformation take place!

There’s even more to explore in this special area of Frontierland including Piston Peak’s visitor lodge, Ranger HQ, trails to roam, Grizzly Hall and more! And it’s all set within the Disney and Pixar Cars universe.

While building this new space is going to take a while, your vacation experience can start right away! When you’re ready to start your engines and head to Disney World we recommend:

• Get a multi-day ticket. The more park days you have, the more opportunities you'll have to visit this new space when it opens.
