Disney's CARS LAND - Making of Video
The last couple of times I've been to Disneyland's California Adventure I've gotten a little glimpse at the new theme park attraction they are building, which is based on Pixar's Cars. Disney Imagineering has been hard at work bringing the world of Cars to life in the physical world, and from what I've seen of the park, it looks pretty amazing. Cars Land is scheduled to open up at Disney's California Adventure in June of 2012, and it looks like it's going to be a lot of fun.
Below you'll find a 12-minute video featuring the Disny Imagineers talking about the details of their latest creation and showing us what we can expect to experience. Is this a theme park attraction that you are excited about experiencing?
Here's all of the detailed info on the park from the official website:
Get ready to be floored by the big — really big — Cars Land, coming to the heart of Disney California Adventure Park this summer!
Feel like you've cruised into the real-life town of Radiator Springs. Here, Lightning McQueen, Mater and other popular Characters from the Disney·Pixar movie Cars are "revved up" to welcome you and your family.
From Character meet-and-greets to all-new attractions, entertainment, dining and shopping spots, there is something for every member of your crew.
Attractions
Ready for some high-octane fun? Cars Land comes fully loaded with thrills and excitement:
- Buckle up at Radiator Springs Racers and compete with other speed seekers! Zip over hills, zoom around banked turns and cruise down straight-aways past the spectacular red-rock formations of Ornament Valley. Some of your favorite friends, like Sally, Luigi, Guido, Mack and Ramone, can be seen at the track.
- Climb aboard Mater's Junkyard Jamboree and enjoy a "tow"-rific ride. Baby tractors pull a Junkyard cart — with you in it — that gets twirled in time to the tunes broadcast through the magnificent Mater's Junkyard Jukebox.
- Steer yourself to Luigi's Flying Tires and take family fun to a whole new level: into the air! Glide, spin and find yourself lifting off the ground while you pilot your own comfortable, oversized radial tire.
Dining
Running on empty? Fill 'er up! These sustenance stations are run by some of your favorite "Car"-acters:
- Find full meals and good eats at Flo's V8 Café.
- For quick and tasty snacks, motor over to the Fillmore's Taste-In.
- Cozy Cone Motel offers a festive and "pun" menu, like chili "cone" queso, "cone" on the cob, pop-"cone" and (no joke) churros!
Entertainment
Small-town hospitality flows from Radiator Springs and brings good times to you!
- Red the Fire Truck brings impromptu water fun at the Courthouse in Cars Land.
- DJ gets you hip-hoppin' with bass beats that are pumpin' through his neon-blazin', thumpin' subwoofers and sweet speakers.
