Cars Land at Disney's CA Adventure

Got to go to the Cars Land preview for annual passholders, and I was really impressed with their attention to detail in making Cars Land. The rides were fun, especially the Radiator Springs car ride, but I don't know how much of an attraction getter the whole thing is. Perhaps if you're a big Cars fan, then you may be more interested in the place. Overall though, I think it was really well done, and my pictures probably can't capture how nice it all looks. Here's some pictures of Cars Land and the three rides.

We were let in through the side entrance right next to the Radiator Springs ride.

Radiator Springs Racers 

 

The actual ride goes through some scenes inside and then to the racing portion outside. The inside is done really well, and the racing portion is pretty fun. It's like the test track ride at Epcot. One word of warning, I think this ride is gonna break down as much as Indiana Jones haha.

Mater's Junkyard Jamboree

They compare this ride to the teacups at Disneyland. My motion sickness is pretty bad, but I actually did okay on this. The ride kind of throws you around as if you were in the towed car of a tow truck. The cool part is how the ride works on these tracks. Too hard to describe.

Luigi's Tires


These "tires" hover over what's basically a huge air hockey surface. You have to lean in whichever direction you want to go in. Sounds boring right? Actually it's quite fun. Trying to grab these humongous beach balls flying around in the air. Good ride.

Some pictures from "Route 66"

The Cozy Cone Motel had a variety of snacks. They had churros with chocolate sauce, chili, pretzels with cheese, I forget what else. What we tried was Chicken Verde. It was chicken in some green sauce kept in a pretzel like bread cone. Interesting.

Didn't try this place, but they had stuff like steak loin, more dinner type stuff.

A couple Disney shops here.

That was Cars Land. If you're interested, here's some pictures from the new entrance, or the Buena Vista Street.

And finally, one of the best new additions to CA Adventure, Ghirardelli Soda Fountain. If you like dessert, the best option is the Warm Brownie Sundae. No picture of it, just try it.
