Disney is bringing Cars to Magic Kingdom. But it’s not in the long-rumored Beyond Thunder Mountain project.
Oh no, no, no. That would cost too much.
It’s in Frontierland. And Disney fans attending D23 aren’t too happy about it. In fact, the audience reaction to Josh D’Amaro’s announcement of where these new Cars attractions would be located could best be described as… chilly.
But hey, at least he didn’t get booed like when they announced the wench auction getting removed from Pirates of the Caribbean at D23 2017. So there’s that.
Before we show you what Disney has planned, check out some of these Disney fan reactions on Twitter/X.
So without further ado, here are the Cars attractions that will be plopped down in Frontierland in Disney’s Magic Kingdom.
Per the Disney Parks Blog…
At Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D’Amaro, with the help of Tow Mater via video call, announced that a new area inspired by the Pixar Animation Studios film “Cars” will be coming to a reimagined section of Frontierland at Magic Kingdom. “The American West has always been about keeping your eyes on the horizon … believing in yourself, carving your own path, and striving toward success. That goes for miners in the mountains, bears from the country, a princess from the bayou … or a racecar from the big city,” Josh told the crowd.
Don’t get too comfortable in Radiator Springs because it’s time to leave the pit stop and head west into exciting new frontiers. On this adventure, guests will be able to experience not one but two exciting new “Cars”-themed attractions.
One attraction will invite you on a thrilling rally race through the mountains. Take on wild terrain as you race across the landscape climbing mountain trails, dodging geysers and — Mater’s favorite — splashing through mudholes.
But what about smaller racers? The second attraction will be geared towards them and will be fun for the whole family.
Get ready to start your engines! Work on this new space in Frontierland will begin in early 2025.
