After being closed for over a month, Radiator Springs Racers has reopened at Disney California Adventure in Cars Land. The popular attraction soft-opened on Thursday night before officially reopening on Friday morning. It did not open with the park at 8:00 AM, however. Cast Members could be found from Carthay Circle to the entrance area of Radiator Springs Racers, informing people that the attraction would be opening later. An exact time wasn’t known when the park opened. Eventually, the attraction opened at 10:00 AM. The attraction looks great, and it seemed all the effects are working as well.
The Daps Magic team stopped by Cars Land on Friday morning to check out the attraction. The team hopped in line moments after it opened at 10:00 AM and ended up waiting about 20 minutes for the attraction. By the time they got off the attraction, the queue was showing up as 115 minutes long on the Disneyland App. Below is a video of this attraction that was taken by the Daps Magic team.
Radiator Springs Racers Official Description

Cruise Through Radiator Springs
Kick the fun into overdrive as you buckle up for a road race featuring familiar car-acters, fantastic scenery and “wheel” thrills.
Tour Ornament Valley and arrive in Radiator Springs—the cutest little town in Carburetor County—where the movie Cars springs to life.
As you prep for the big race, all the locals show up to help. Mater, Lightning McQueen, Doc Hudson, Sally, Luigi, Guido, Mack and Ramone are all rooting for you!
Take a quick spin into either Luigi’s Casa Della Tires or Ramone’s House of Body Art to get a racing makeover—then hit the road.
Ready, Get Set, Go!
Meet your friendly competition at the starting line and get ready to race for first place! Zip over hills, zoom around high-banked turns and cruise down camelback straightaways past spectacular red-rock formations.
Even if your car comes in second, this is one race where everyone’s a winner!
Home on the Cadillac Range
The towering Cadillac Range mountains serve as a majestic backdrop for Radiator Springs Racers.
Car buffs may notice the 6 mountain peaks look like tail fins of classic Cadillac models from 1957 to 1962. The mountains are inspired by the iconic Cadillac Ranch public art installation along Route 66 near Amarillo, Texas.
