  • Taking on the role of rookie racer, fans will cruise into the theater and find themselves face-to-face with Lightning McQueen, appearing live on stage.
  • McQueen and the entire audience will be enveloped by a giant, wraparound screen nearly two stories tall and stretches more than 200 feet from end to end, pulling everyone into the action!
  • McQueen will showcase what he’s learned over the years even when things don’t always go according to plan, and he has to think fast to get back on course.
  • Tow Mater, Cruz Ramirez and Lightning’s pals from Radiator Springs will offer their support as Lightning gears up for the challenge.
