The new area will be called Piston Peak, and it will allow you to enter the world of Cars with a National Park twist.

This new area will take over Tom Sawyer Island and the Rivers of America, located to the right of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. On the map, we can see Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and Big Thunder Mountain. Picture yourself standing near the Haunted Mansion, looking towards Tiana’s Bayou.

On the map, the most significant area we can see is dedicated to one of the two attractions. This attraction will allow you to race through the mountains on wild terrain, avoiding geysers and mud holes.

Earlier this year, we got a look at the different vehicles we’ll see. Disney is trying to replicate the feeling of off-roading, and each car will have its own personality, name, and number.

There are lots of water elements, including a waterfall! While this won’t be equal to Rivers of America, it’s nice to see water features being brought in.

The whole area was inspired by National Parks, specifically the Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. The area is called Piston Peak from the fictional land, Piston Peak National Park, from the 2014 movie Planes: Fire & Rescue.

Big Thunder Mountain, which we’ll be able to see next door in Piston Peak, was inspired by Bryce Canyon National Park, so they’re bringing in classic Disney ideas.

We don’t have any opening timelines for Pison Peak yet. Rivers of America, the Liberty Square Riverboat, and Tom Sawyer Island are closing on July 7th to make way for the area. Construction walls will come a few weeks after July 7th.

We’ll be ready for more details to be announced, so make sure you keep following Disney Food Blog for more.
