Cars Land & Carthay Circle Theater to open June 15th
This is according to the Disney Parks Blog page. It is really shaping up now and getting exciting. Can't wait for all those walls to come down, I know that they are testing the attractions. Two of my CM friends will be testing on Luigi's Tires.

From what I have heard CM previews will be late May as well as AP previews. There should be several soft openings as well in preperation for the grand opening. I hope to make several of those AP and soft openings. I will try to take as many pictures as possible and report back.

Do you guys know what type of ride is luigi's flying tires is? What exactly does it do? I cannot figure it out from that pic. It kind of looks like bumper cars but they don't look like they move really.....

It is like the old flying saucer ride from early Tomorrowland. Basically it is like a giant air hockey table. To board the tires are flat. When they turn on the air (giant fans), the tires inflate, They do move. To steer it, you just lean to which way you wnat to move. There is no way to actually steer it with anything but leaning and weight distribution.

While Radiator Springs Racers of course is the E-Ticket highlight of Cars Land, Luigi's Flying Tires will be incredibly popular.
It immediately brings a huge grin on the face of everyone who has been on it during testing (I think you can even notice a smile creeping in on the faces of Bob Iger and Tom Staggs on the Disney Parks blog post). The moment your tire lifts off the ground just taps into some residual pure emotion from your childhood that simply is best summed up as magical.
In the open you can pick up quite a bit of speed and surprisingly responsive to any weight shifts so it is easy to control. There is an additional hand control that allows you to spin (so if you get skilled, you can quickly spot your rival tire pilot and plot a course to bump into them- that is if someone doesn't try to bump you off course)

Hey Mufasa, is the flying tires ride loud?
I would imagine with the amount of air displacement needed, it would sound akin to a jet engine. I hope that is not the case or I will never get my kids on it!

I don't think it is necessarily that loud in comparison with other attractions or especially compared with the original flying saucers (thanks to advancements in technology for control systems).
Mater's Junkyard Jamboree I'd argue is a louder attraction and that is even before taking into account the soundtrack featuring Mater singing his favorite songs for us to um, enjoy?

Good info, thanks! I guess we'll see.

Omg this sounds sooo funny!
Thanks for the explanation for Luigi's ride...so is the object to hit other people? This looks and sounds like way too much fun! Although I hate flying I am thinking I am going to have to go to Disneyland one more time so that my boys can experience Carsland!

I will be there both on the Media Day, and opening day. I don't do Twitter, but may send some photos to Intercot on Facebook, or to one of the Mods to possibly be posted here, if they choose to. I'm very excited to see it all finished. Buena Vista Street will really change the whole feel of walking into the park.

Oooh I loved the flying saucers also. Would mention that in the 70's and most people thought I was crazy. There was never a ride like that in the park. ...

The D23 site just recently posted some new pictures of Cars Land.

I'll be there for AP previews as well as opening day. Won't be doing any reporting though. May make a post or two. Who knows.
I'm not all that into going on any of the new attractions. I'm more likely to soak in the whole new land at Flo's.
The new merchandise that I have seen thus far leaves me with a mild ho-hum. The special Vinylmation Monorail cars are very blah (in my humble opinion). I'm hoping there is much more to offer besides the attraction posters too. While I do enjoy those, I don't want to wear it on my t-shirt.

I agree about the merchandise, from the pictures I've seen I'm not very impressed either. I will go to the AP preview of food and merchandise hoping that there will be something good. When it comes to logo merchandise, I'm very particular about the design. I actually prefer a more subtle approach. I'll spend more money on a polo shirt that has a small Cars Land logo on it, over a full screened t-shirt with Cars on it. Same goes for hats.
