    Although on second thought it could happen. Disney has a poor track record these days when it comes to keeping the themes around the parks intact.

    I personally thought Cars was not such a great movie.

    Radiator Springs just doesn't seem to me to fit into California Adventure at all. First of all the town isnt even IN california, second of all I don't see this addition attracting any more visitors to California Adventure.

    I think it's weakest of Pixar's films. The car thing got old after a while. There were several times that I felt like I was watching an elongated Cheveron commercial.

Cadillac Ranch is most famed for it "art" of classic Cadillacs placed in the groud sticking long ways into the air. I'm sure you have seen pictures of it at somepoint, its a well known place.

    At least we know that there'll never be a Cars meet-and-greet.

    I agree with Hans, I too think Cars was easily Pixar's weakest film.

    While I like the artistry of CARS, the movie was rather weak.
