New video footage shared at D23 Brazil has fueled rumors that the new Cars-themed E-ticket attraction coming to Magic Kingdom will be the first-ever trackless high-speed thrill ride.
The footage depicts a test experience conducted by Walt Disney Imagineering as they develop the attraction. It was shared on X (formerly known as Twitter) by LaughingPlace.com. Watch the video below.
In the video, Imagineers are riding in all-terrain-style vehicles on a dirt course that seems to have no visible track. Trackless ride vehicles are not new to Walt Disney World (and are used on attractions such as Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance), but being used for an all-terrain thrill ride would be a first for the resort.
The concept art shows the vehicles kicking up dirt, implying that they are driving directly on it. The test video shows the same thing with the ATV-style cars directly on terrain and kicking dirt up on the path.
The ride is one of two new attractions coming to a Cars-themed land in Magic Kingdom. Work begins on the land in early 2025. It will take over the space currently occupied by the Liberty Square Riverboat and Tom Sawyer Island as part of Frontierland.
The experience will see guests “take on wild terrain as they race across the landscape, climbing mountain trails, dodging geysers, and splashing through mudholes.”
