Cars Land, the latest attraction in California Adventure just had a “soft opening.”
That means a relative handful of visitors were let in to test the rides. We talked to some.
How much fun is Cars Land?
How much fun would it be to be a car?
Luigi’s Flying Tires is kind of like the Teacups, except you “steer” your tire by leaning. And there are big beach balls flying around.
The whole town of Radiator Springs from the Pixar Cars films is recreated, too. The theme is gas stations along Route 66, the old southern route through the West to California.
Tires and car care are the theme
Like a desert town.
From the perspective of a car.
Everyone is talking about how Cars Land cost Disney a billion dollars to build. But it doesn’t cost a $billion to get in.
The biggest new ride is Radiator Springs Racers, a drag race through desert mountains.
The scenery includes mountain and caves, the ride includes car characters in a dark section, and the ride concludes with a fast drag race with another car.
So what’s the verdict? Is Cars Land fun?
Reports from the first guests indicate that Radiator Springs Racers is a whole LOT of fun. Luigi’s Tires is fun, too. And the whole place is a great addition to California Adventure and Disneyland.
Yes, Cars Land is fun. Almost as much fun as being a car in Radiator Springs.
Have you been to Carsland yet? What do you think?
My kid wants to go! I don’t.

Cars is one of my most favorite Pixar movies. The story is fun and the moral lessons are clearly shown. I just love watching parts 1 and 2 all over again with my kids. This replica of Radiator Springs is really amazing! How I wish we could visit the place. This is definitely another attraction in California that’s good for the whole family

Cars is a fun movie, and Cars Land is really quite fun. Mater’s tractor pull looks dull, but it has some swivel action to spice it up.

I do believe that Cars Land will be a big hit with everyone, not only children and car-aficionados. I would even love to ride on Luigi’s Tires with my family and friends.
Michelle, thanks for commenting. Cars Land officially opens tomorrow!

Michael, California pioneered the “car culture” so you hit it right on the head. Car Land is like entering the culture of the cars themselves. I like your new Gravatar photo, buddy, and thanks for stopping by.

Thanks for liking my new gravatar. I felt I need a picture more “grown-up”. I know CA people love their cars probably more than anybody. There is a car wash every 2-3 miles. I fell into that culture also. I have had almost every car manufacturer. Dodge, Ford, Chrysler,Cadillac,Chevrolet, Honda, now Acura.
