00:18Cars Land is a brand new land for Disney's California Adventure.
00:23I tell you, it is so exciting for me because I used to work at Disneyland when I was going
00:27to college and to have directed the movie Cars and now see an entire land devoted to this
00:32movie that I directed.
00:33It is one of the most thrilling things that's ever happened to me in my life.
00:37Cars Land is a totally immersive experience where our guests walk down the street of Radiator
00:43Springs and go into the world of Cars.
00:45And it's huge.
00:47It is 12 acres and it's really fun to bring the land of Radiator Springs, the valley, the
00:53town and all of the characters to life.
00:56And to get to work with the Imagineers and make that so that you can visit it, you can
01:00see it.
01:00In the movie, we don't actually get to walk into Flo's VA Cafe, but here in this land,
01:05we will be able to do that.
01:07You're going to get to visit Ramones, you're going to get to visit Flo's, you're going to
01:11get to visit Luigi's and the Cozy Cone Motel.
01:15Of course, designing and building a land of this scale, 12 acres, comes with a lot of challenges.
01:20By the time it opens in 2012, it has been in the process at Imagineering for five years.
01:26In the classic tradition of Disney theme parks, they come with icons like Big Thunder Mountain
01:32and the Matterhorn, but with Ornament Valley comes an entire mountain range.
01:36So it is six acres of hand sculpted rock to build that mountain.
01:41You are going to be totally immersed.
01:42You are going to be there.
01:44The rides in Cars Land are so exciting.
01:48They're fantastic.
01:49First, you're going to get to go to Mater's Junkyard for Mater's Junkyard Jamboree.
01:53It's hilarious.
01:54We all know that Mater has this great history with tractors.
01:59So what Mater did is he went out and he caught a bunch of baby tractors and he brought them
02:04to his junkyard and he hooked them up at a classic whip ride.
02:07And then, of course, the perfect attraction for Luigi, and that is we're building Fettuccine
02:13brand tires that you will get in and ride around.
02:16But you just don't ride in them.
02:18You're actually levitating in your tire.
02:19It's one of those attractions that is so unique, it's completely engineered here at Imagineering.
02:24And anchoring Cars Land is our super-duper e-ticket ride Radiator Springs Racers.
02:30This is where you get to climb into your own car that's a character and you take a trip
02:36and you start seeing all the characters animated, alive.
02:42So this ride is a combination of a high-speed thrill ride with rich storyline and characters.
02:47And the most exciting moments are when you're outside and you're going high speed through
02:51the dips and the drops and around the corners.
02:54As you're riding through this, you feel like you're going down Route 66.
02:57You're in the great American Southwest, you're seeing the red rocks and the canyons.
03:02It is classic Disneyland.
03:05It takes you to another place and another time and it totally transports you.
03:10No one has Cars Land except Disney's California Adventures and it's going to be fantastic.
03:16.
03:30Aaaaaaah!
