Magic Kingdom will also evolve to include a new land that brings to life the fun of Pixar’s Cars franchise. This new area of the park is also set to feature two brand new attractions, with construction said to begin next year. Dissimilar to Cars Land in Disneyland’s California Adventure in Anaheim, the Magic Kingdom’s Cars addition will remain a part of Frontierland.
Hollywood Studios is getting monstrous
Mike, Sully and the Monsters, Inc. gang are headed to Disney World’s Hollywood Studios in their own little section of the park, which will also feature a brand-new suspended roller coaster.
“Monsters remains one of the most beloved stories that Pixar has ever told,” D’Amaro said during D23 of the major attractions in the works based on the hit film. “Our fans absolutely love it, and we knew we had an opportunity to bring to life this franchise in a way that it’s never been brought to life before and extend the story from the screen into real life.”
