We have good news for Cars fans! Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy has reopened after a week-long closure!
Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy
Disney invites Guests to, “Get pumped for a high-octane, first-of-its-kind show that’ll put you in the middle of the Disney and Pixar Cars universe.” Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy features the red racecar teaching fans what it takes to be a champion driver.

The attraction is located on Sunset Boulevard inDisney’s Hollywood Studios. Aspiring racers will undoubtedly enjoy listening to the legendary red figure sporting his iconic number 95.
Part of the show features Lightning demonstrating his skills on his brand-new racing simulator, complete with a wraparound screen. Over the course of his career, McQueen has learned that things don’t always go quite as planned!
It takes quick thinking to get back on track. Along with McQueen, Guests will be treated to some other familiar faces. Tow Mater, Cruz Ramirez, and friends from Radiator Springs cheer him on as he prepares for the challenge!
Find out how he fares on your next visit to Walt Disney World Resort. Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy is once again open, after a week-long closure!
Here are some pictures and videos from our MickeyBlogger at the attraction today!
