Walt Disney World Resort in Florida is opening up a brand-new land, and it’s all dedicated to Cars. Called Piston Peak, the new land will allow fans to enter the fictional world of Cars with a National Park twist.
Visitors will get to drive around Piston Peak. For those familiar with Walt Disney World Resort, the new area will be added to Frontierland to the right of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.
Disney announced that it will be the “largest expansion in the history of Magic Kingdom.
Inside will be a visitor lodge, Ranger HQ, trails and, of course, there will be new attractions added to the land too. One will allow visitors to race through the mountains on wild terrain, avoiding geysers and mud holes.
The creative team is also developing new race car personalities for the attraction. Each vehicle on the ride will have its own name and number, similar to real-life race cars.
In order to develop the new land, Disney is set to close Rivers of America, Tom Sawyer Island, and the Liberty Square Riverboat beginning on July 7, 2025.
On the Disney Parks blog, which explained more about the park, it detailed: “From the outside, trees will provide a natural barrier between the off-road rally and other parts of Frontierland and Liberty Square.
“Rugged mountains with dramatic peaks will be nestled along a calming waterway across from Grizzly Hall and soaring geysers from the famed Big Thunder Mountain Railroad will stretch into the trails of our off-road rally.”
Disney has not yet announced an opening date for the attraction.
