The Walt Disney World Resort has recently filed permits for construction work at the Magic Kingdom in order to make way for the expansion of Frontierland, featuring attractions from Pixar’s popular „Cars“ franchise. This expansion is said to be the largest in the history of the Magic Kingdom, according to Disney. The new area will replace the current Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island, and will be inspired by the „Western charm of iconic national parks.“
The Frontierland expansion will introduce two attractions based on the „Cars“ movies – a thrilling off-road ride that takes guests around the landscape, as well as a family-friendly attraction. Construction on these new additions is expected to start next year. Michael Hundgen, Walt Disney World portfolio executive producer at Walt Disney Imagineering, expressed his excitement about creating an original Cars adventure and giving guests the opportunity to be in the driver’s seat. The theme of exploration and adventure will be central to the new area, enticing visitors to keep moving forward.
Responsibility of Creating Memorable Experiences
Hundgen emphasized the importance of getting the Magic Kingdom expansion right and ensuring that the stories told resonate with guests. He stated, „Anytime we touch Magic Kingdom, we recognize the massive responsibility that exists to get it right and tell stories that connect with our guests.“ This commitment to excellence underscores Disney’s dedication to providing unforgettable experiences for visitors of all ages.
In addition to the Frontierland expansion, Disney also announced plans for a villain-themed land situated near Big Thunder Mountain. This multi-acre area will feature two attractions, along with dining and shopping options. Further details about these projects, as well as other announcements from the D23 fan event, are expected to be revealed in the near future.
The revitalization of Frontierland and the introduction of new attractions based on the beloved „Cars“ franchise demonstrate Disney’s ongoing commitment to innovation and storytelling. Guests can look forward to a thrilling new adventure at the Magic Kingdom, as familiar characters and exciting experiences come to life in this enchanting theme park.
