Disney is offering fans plenty of intriguing looks at some of the parks’ most exciting upcoming attractions, including the highly anticipated new land set to open in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom in the very near future.
In particular, according to the Disney-centric Disney Food Blog, Disney is sharing an in-depth look at the upcoming Cars-themed land arriving at Disney’s flagship Florida theme park.
Inspired by the beloved Pixar franchise and U.S. national parks, the new Piston Peak National Park will act as Disney’s largest park expansion in Magic Kingdom, featuring a myriad of rides tailored to the whole family.
Showing off a scale model of the land at the D23 conference in Anaheim, Disney’s Piston Peak National Park will feature two large attractions built into a rugged, mountainous terrain reminiscent of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains.
As seen in the model, one attraction will act as a rally race-inspired track ride that takes visitors into the heart of Piston Peak. The second, previously unconfirmed attraction appears to be geared more towards younger riders, similar to Disneyland’s Luigi’s Rollickin’ Roadsters.
If the model is any indication, the Piston Peak National Park will certainly serve as a thrilling area for longtime fans of both Disney’s theme parks and the Cars franchise, with plenty of recognizable faces (or should we say car hoods?) scattered throughout the area.
As of yet, it’s not clear when exactly Piston Peak will open at Magic Kingdom. Previously, the company confirmed the area’s development in 2024 at the D23 event. One year later, Disney permanently closed the classic Disney attractions Tom Sawyer Island and Rivers of America to help make room for the coming area.
Along with Piston Peak, the Magic Kingdom is also set to add a new Villain’s Land to the park as well. Similarly, there’s no clear date in mind for when said land will open.
