Radiator Springs Racers

Radiator Springs Racers is an attraction located at Cars Land at the Disney California Adventure at the Disneyland Resort, based on the 2006 Disney/Pixar film Cars. It has a technology similar to the Test Track attraction at Epcot, with the exception that the vehicles race on separate tracks. The attraction takes up six acres of Cars Land.

History
The attraction, along with the rest of Disney California Adventure multi-year expansion, was announced on October 17, 2007. However, the first indication of the attraction and the new land was some concept art published in the Dreaming section of The Walt Disney Company's 2006 annual report.

Radiator Springs Racers is currently the most expensive attraction ever constructed in the Walt Disney Company's history.

Queue
Starting at an archway near the Radiator Springs Courthouse, the queue travels to the oldest parts of Radiator Springs to the original roadside attractions and buildings constructed by Stanley. Signs in the style of National Parks describe the geology of Ornament Valley upon a viewpoint of the Cadillac Range. Also featured are the original Radiator Springs, a natural spring emerging from a rock formation shaped like a radiator that Stanley discovered while traveling through Ornament Valley desperate for water. He built a radiator cap shop, a house partially constructed of empty oil bottles and a small hotel in the Tailight Cavern system nearby. This is where the load area is located with Sheriff providing safety instructions in English and Ramone covering them in Spanish.

Ride
After leaving the load, the cars go on a leisurely drive through Ornament Valley, traveling under an arch for a close-up view up the mountain to the waterfall bridge where Lightning McQueen raced with his girlfriend,Sally Carrera in the film. When the vehicles are at the point of entering a tunnel while hearing the lost Minny and Van, the cars nearly crash into Mack, avoid Minny and Van while narrowly avoiding an oncoming train. Sheriff appears and tells the guests to slow down. He wants to offer them a speeding ticket,but he refuses to do so. He takes this opportunity to send Mater by taking guests into town to get them ready for the race, though Mater takes them tractor-tipping first before Frank the combine wakes up and chases the guests away.

After guests escape from an enraged combine named Frank, they enter Radiator Springs. They end up driving by Sarge, Fillmore, Lizzie, and Red. Between Luigi's Casa Della Tires and Ramone's House of Body Art, Lightning McQueen and Sally greet the racers and send one of the two cars to a different building. At Luigi's Casa Della Tires, the vehicles are given white-wall tires by Guido who pumps them up with his special tire pump, and at Ramone's House of Body Art, they are given a paint touchup by Ramone and Flo. When the vehicles leave the pit stops, Doc Hudson appears to give racers advice and sends them to the starting line where Luigi and Guido are excited to start the race.

At the end of Luigi's countdown, the vehicles bolt back outside up to speeds of 40 MPH. Racing around the large radiator cap and Willy's Butte along with hitting the finish line, Doc congratulates the racers for a good race and the vehicles enter Taillight Caverns where Lightning and Mater congratulate and talk to the guests before they disembark.
