The Disney Parks Blog is planning on giving everyone a look at Cars Land with a special grand opening Live Webcast.

After three years of construction at the California Adventure the 12-acre expansion takes guests through the town of Radiator Springs from the “Cars” movies.

The webcast will take place at 8 p.m. Pacific Time.

The entire park will be closed on June 14 in preparation for the big June 15 public opening.

When the park reopens guests will enter Disney California Adventure along Buena Vista Street, a place that transports them to 1920s Los Angeles when Walt Disney arrived in California. Buena Vista Street features Red Car Trolleys, inspired by the transportation system that once served Southern California, and the Carthay Circle Theatre, modeled after the site of the 1937 world premiere of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” Carthay Circle Theatre will include a lounge and the Carthay Circle Restaurant, designed to be the premier dining location in Disney California Adventure.

In Cars Land, the Radiator Springs Racers ride is a twisting, turning, high-speed adventure through Ornament Valley and the town of Radiator Springs. On Luigi’s Flying Tires you’ll be able glide on air aboard special tires, whirling around with their pals. At Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree, you can whip around behind a baby tractor and enjoy tunes from a giant jukebox built from Mater’s most prized possessions.

In addition to the new sections of the park, a new Mad T Party in Hollywood Land is unveiled, is a dance party inspired by the wild and whimsical world of Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland.”
