Originally Posted By WorldDisney Yeah, it was announced last year actually and Disney is suppose to release an official model and pictures of it real soon in a preview center in a few weeks at DCA in a few weeks this month. Also, there are picks for it all over the internet if you want to see it. Just search for 'Carsland' (yes, thats the title sadly) and you'll find lots on it. It looks very nice too . Good luck!
Originally Posted By bean Hi Jmacmouse, yes the land should start construction soon it will be approximatey 12 acres. It will have one big third generation testrack style attraction with a large show building and lots of detailed rockwork. The other two attractions also being built will be quite fun and also very detailed. one almost looks like an outdoor darkride. There are also plans for future attractions for the land. There are pictures on the net if you want to see them along with many other pictures on many of the new projects for DCA coming between now and 2012. Micechat has a project tracker thread with lots of picture links in the first post. Enjoy

Originally Posted By nemopoppins "Radiator Springs" could be a "real" town in the desert southeast of California, along the old Route 66. It would fit the California, instead of the Pixar, theme. I wish Disney could use my idea. Oh wait, it was Jmacmouse's.
Originally Posted By Britain I'm guessing since the name of the big E-ticket is "Radiator Springs Racers" they don't want to use that name for the land as well.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros But how hard would it be to come up with another name for the attraction. I don't mean to be a wet blanket, but that name isn't particularly inspiring either. Call the land Radiator Springs (or something similar) and call the attraction something a little more descriptive or creative. We could call Big Thunder the Frontier Runaway Mine Train, but that's not a terribly interesting name. I know WDI can come up with something better thatn Radiator Springs Racers. It's a name that sounds dreadfully similar to the not-so-creative names of the Fantaslyand attractions that were thought up in the 50's and haven't changed since (with the exception of the addition of the word "Scary" to Snow White's Adventures).

The 2nd generation is actually the Journey to the Center of the Earth attraction at Tokyo DisneySea, which uses similar vehicles and extreme elevation changes (and a drop rivaling Splash Mountain). Rocket Rods used a modified version of the original technology (they opened pretty close together), which is one of the many problems that attraction faced.
