Discover Piston Peak: Magic Kingdom's Most Anticipated Cars Attraction

Update Get Ready to Race at Magic Kingdom's Piston Peak! Exciting developments are underway at Magic Kingdom, where a new "Cars" theme area, Piston Peak National Park, is set to elevate the park experience like never before. Guests can look forward to an adrenaline-pumping off-road rally ride coming soon to Frontierland. As part of the D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, Walt Disney Imagineering unveiled stunning maquettes of the ride vehicles that will transport Mountaineers through rugged terrains inspired by the popular film. The Thrill of the Rally: Unique Ride Vehicles The soon-to-debut ride features specially designed off-road racers that embrace the lively characters of the "Cars" universe. With three rows of seating, these vehicles resemble individual characters from the franchise and come adorned with racing numbers like 66 and 71—paying tribute to the Magic Kingdom's inception in 1971. Their mud-splattered aesthetics perfectly capture the adventure awaiting attendees, promising a wild ride through the national park's terrain. Winding Through Nature: A New View The captivating model of the new area unveiled at D23 showcases a winding rally course that winds through a picturesque and heavily wooded landscape. With flowing waterfalls, rustic bridges, and navigating streams, the scenic backdrop aims to provide guests an immersive experience that distinctly sets Piston Peak apart from Radiator Springs. This attention to detail will ensure that thrill-seekers and families alike feel like part of an organized race event, complete with race-day banners guiding their path. Future Attractions: More on the Horizon Notably, Piston Peak National Park will feature a second "Cars" attraction, anticipated to offer family-friendly fun with water elements. This expansion not only reflects Disney's commitment to creating unique experiences but also emphasizes their understanding of varied guest preferences. As Piston Peak unfolds, guests can expect to explore attractions that harmoniously blend with Central Florida's stunning natural elements.
