Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D’Amaro, with the help of Tow Mater from “Cars” teamed up to announce 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 announcement came as part of Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event. Josh told the crowd, “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.”
It’s time to leave the comfort of Radiator Springs and head west into exciting new frontiers. On this adventure, guests will experience two exciting new “Cars”-themed activities.
One attraction will take you through the mountains on a thrilling rally race. You will take on wild terrain as you climb mountain trails, race across the landscape and — Mater’s favorite — splash through muddles. This will be great fun for older races but what about the smaller ones? The second attraction will be geared for them and will be fun for the whole family.
Start your engines because work on this new space in Frontierland will begin in early 2025!
“At Disney Experiences, Imagineers dream, create, design and build these stories into real places. And we have Imagineers in place right now all around the world because everything we’re going to share with you is in active development. Plans are drawn. Dirt is moving. I just want to be clear about this: We are doing everything you’re going to hear tonight.” – Josh D’Amaro
Happy that a section of Frontierland will be reimagined to make room for “Cars” attractions?
