What to Expect 👀
Board your open-sided road trip vehicle for a laid-back drive through the zaniest parts of the Pixar universe. Your “tour guide” narrates the journey as you spot oversized roadside attractions, crazy Cars-inspired inventions, and—of course—the legendary Cars-tastrophe Canyon, where things might just get a little… explosive! The ride is slow, scenic, and perfect for a bit of downtime between thrills.
The ride is split into 3 unique areas :
First stop: A nutty roadside attraction – Snap a pic and don’t forget to wave to Lightning (Flash) McQueen, Luigi, and Guido at the World’s Largest Lugnut.
Second stop: Power shower! There’s nothing like a natural carwash in a flash flood for some extra shower power. See how a huge water tanker likes to shake up his cleaning routine in Cars-tastrophe Canyon.
Final Stop: An Artistic Mater-piece! Mater is well known for his impressive junkyard creations. Today he’s debuting his latest Mater-piece– can you guess what it is? Honk if you love this motor monument!
There are so many photo opportunities & sights to see that this leisurely road trip is one you will want to do time & time again. Get ready to witness “The Ghost Garage”, “Copper Canyon Traffic Maze”, “Lonestone Magnet Mine”, “The Eiffuel Tower”, “The Great Whitewall of China” & ” The Statue of Lizziety”!

✨ Ready to Experience the Difference?
How long does a roundtrip take? Is it considerably shorter than the Studio Tram Tour?
Hi Tom,
It is shorter than the original tram tours. I would say around half as long with tram tours taking around 12 mins & the new road trip only around 6 minutes. There is of course only one scene now (calamity canyon) & we have lost the London scene & some road, scenery etc.
Thanks!
