Disney has shared more detail about the two attractions planned for Piston Peak National Park, the Cars-themed expansion under construction at Magic Kingdom. The project will include an off-road thrill ride called Cars Ridge Run Rally and a family-focused spinning attraction, Miss Fritter's Daredevil Spin-Along.
The names matter because they clarify that Piston Peak is being built as more than a single headline ride. One experience is designed around a rough-terrain drive, while the other gives younger guests and mixed-age groups a gentler Cars option.
Key details
- Cars Ridge Run Rally is the off-road thrill attraction, using four-seat vehicles.
- Miss Fritter's Daredevil Spin-Along is the family-oriented spinning ride.
- Lightning McQueen and Mater are planned as Racing Sports Network hosts at the end of Cars Ridge Run Rally.
- Disney has not announced an opening date for Piston Peak National Park.
What Disney has confirmed
The detailed Piston Peak presentation shows a new mountain-and-national-park setting joining the Frontierland side of Magic Kingdom. Cars Ridge Run Rally is intended to create the feeling of off-roading, using four-person vehicles through the land's rugged setting.
The second attraction centers on Miss Fritter, the demolition-derby school bus from Cars 3. It is described as a spinning ride, giving the land a different pace and audience than its off-road counterpart. The design reporting also describes red-mesa-style rockwork near Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, extensive trees intended to soften views from Liberty Square, and a smaller river running through the expansion area. Those are design details, not operating commitments or opening-date guidance.
What remains unknown
Disney has not announced when Piston Peak will open, when either attraction will begin testing, or whether the project will affect a particular trip date. Guests visiting Magic Kingdom in the near term should treat this as a confirmed future expansion, not a currently bookable experience.
The practical takeaway is simple: Piston Peak now has a clearer two-ride identity. Families will eventually have a Cars option designed for them alongside the higher-energy off-road attraction, but neither belongs in a current itinerary until Disney publishes a timeline.
