Disney revs up with ‘Cars’ at California theme park
Disneyland Resort California is to be expanded with a range of new attractions, including a ‘Cars Land’ inspired by the animated film Cars.
The 12-acre Cars Land attraction will increase the park’s capacity and area with two additional family rides.
A timescale and cost for the new developments at the Los Angeles theme park was not given by the Walt Disney Company. It was described only as a “multi-year expansion plan”.
Disney president and CEO Bob Iger said: “The success of Disneyland Resort California over the past few years provides us with both the opportunity and the need to invest for growth, to enhance and expand the experience for our guests and attract new visitors, while at the same time delivering attractive returns on the investment.
“This plan is a reflection of our belief in the bright future of Disneyland Resort California and our continuing commitment to grow the Resort as a world class tourist destination.”
The announcement follows Disney’s ground-breaking last month for a 250-room expansion of Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa.
