Disneyland CA: New Cars Land Opens


A whole new Disney theme park section is devoted to America’s deep love for cars, based on the fun animated car movies and autos in general. Of course, they don’t mention that gas prices are once again sure to be pumped sky high this summer by the greedy oil robber barons. Whatever, it’s all now good carbon-print fun at the happiest place on Earth.

Now rolling at Disneyland’s California Adventure, the new Cars Land ride is attracting thousands of visitors daily. A combination of the old amusement park bumper cars and digital updates, it involves several kinds of rides, including swirling around in cars mounted on huge horizontal tires.

Whatever the appeal, while the kids race around in Cars Land fantasy, at least it will allow Mom and Dad to momentarily forget the stark and expensive reality of driving the highways outside of Disneyland.
