First look at Disney's new Cars-themed adventure park ride

When we were but knee-high auto obssessives, our two favorite rides at Disney World were Space Mountain and Indy Speedway. One gave us a genuine feeling of speed while the other let us pretend for a few fleeting moments that our driver's license wasn't quite so far away. Now it looks like the youngin's out there will have a new car-themed attraction to check out in the Magic Kingdom. Motor World Hype has managed to get their hands on a few quick shots of the amusement park's new Cars-themed ride.

Called Radiator Springs Racers, the attraction is set to open sometime in 2012. In addition to the marginally-creepy looking cars in this particular ride, Disney is planning a whole section of the park dedicated to the Pixar film. The opening should coincide nicely with the Summer 2011 release of Cars 2... and it may just give us still-car-obsessed adults a good reason to revisit our youth.

Negative ghost rider. I'm a theme park nerd so pardon me while I give a geeky answer. This attraction is being built at DCA (Disney California Adventure) in a new section of the park that is based around the setting of the cars films, radiator springs. It is part of a 1 billion dollar investment into the park, which for the last 10 years has been lacking a real Disney feel. Find out more at www.west coaster.com

That's what I figured--the renovation in FL is to remove Toon Town and put in a lot of fairy and princess themed attractions. Plus--if it's just like Test Track at Epcot, they'd have 2 rides in FL that are pretty much the same.
