Disney is in Brazil for a special D23. The whole D23 in Brazil thing is an interesting move. A lot of tourists come to Walt Disney World from Brazil, and Disney probably figures it would make more money by appealing to them directly. Usually, foreign tourists get much better pricing and deals than American ones, and people feel that the prices are getting too high state side.
But I digress.
Today’s announcements included one about the upcoming addition of Cars Land to the Magic Kingdom, where the Rivers of America is.
Many are upset with Disney’s decision to remove the popular water feature from the Magic Kingdom, but Disney is hoping to change their minds with the announcement that the Cars-themed ride will be a trackless E-ticket. It’s not much of a surprise there; they can charge guests way more for Lightning Lane to actually be able to ride the attraction at all.
Laughing Place posted the following video showing the “never before seen” footage that went to Brazil.

Here is the early concept art that was presented state-side during D23 2024.
So there you have it.
I’m still not convinced that this dusty attraction is a good replacement for the Rivers of America, but I’m sure people will like the ride.
