A new route 66 themed land to replace the mediocre one that exists now.

Just remembered Oscar's gas station near the entrance to Dis/MGM Studios. I'll bet that will be an all Cars store if it ain't already.

It would probably be along the lines of Soarin', where there is incredible technology behind making it work, but people just don't really notice it. I think that a TestTrack type thing could be modified to make this work, and just be a nice scenic ride, maxing out at around 30-35 mph.

Lightning is trying to get to California, and gets stuck in the town. It looks like it could be part of CA, only the whole movie revolves around it not being there. If they built an attraction in DCA, I don't know if I would be able to get over that.
