Although we’re still mourning the loss of Rivers of America, Tom Sawyer Island, and the Liberty Belle Riverboat, they gave their lives for Piston Peak National Park, an all-new Cars-themed area in Magic Kingdom.
The new National Park-inspired area in Frontierland is inspired by a location featured in the “Cars” spinoff “Planes: Fire & Rescue,” and provides the cars from Radiator Springs the opportunity to head into the wilderness.
The expansive land will include two attractions set throughout the natural environment.

Miss Fritter’s Daredivel Spin Along
The family-friendly Miss Fritter’s Daredevil Spin Along will feature the demolition derby legend from “Cars 3” and a school bus-sized Audio-Animatronics figure.
A look at the attraction on the massive Piston Peak scale model in D23’s Imagineering pavilion:
Cars Ridge Run Rally
The land’s signature attraction is Cars Ridge Run Rally, a road race up and down snow-capped Piston Peak and through a geyser field (the same geyser field from Big Thunder Mountain Railroad that will extend into the new area).
A few views of the new attraction as seen in the massive scale model at the Imagineering: Horizons pavilion on the D23 show floor:
The attraction will also feature a new type of ride system featuring vehicles that rock, bump, and drop as the off-road cars traverse the rugged terrain.
Construction on Piston Peak and its attractions are underway now at Magic Kingdom, with Walt Disney Imagineering creating new figures, props, and special effects now.
