Frontierland's Rivers of America, Tom Sawyer Island and the Liberty Square Riverboat at Magic Kingdom in Florida have all shut down as Disney prepares to bring a national park-themed area called Piston Peak to life.

It will be the largest Magic Kingdom expansion to date with the introduction of Piston Peak National Park, a new Cars-themed land for visitors to enjoy.

Piston Peak National Park draws inspiration from the majestic Rocky Mountains and the rich history of the American frontier.

Guests will be immersed in a wilderness featuring towering trees, snowcapped mountains, rushing rivers, and dramatic geysers.

The design philosophy, known as “Parkitecture”, emphasizes structures that harmonize with the natural environment, ensuring a seamless blend of architecture and landscape.

The Visitor Lodge and Ranger HQ will be inspired by iconic national park lodges like Old Faithful Inn, serving as central hubs for exploration.

Visitors can also take part in the Off-Road Rally Race, an exhilarating attraction where they can join Lightning McQueen and friends in a high-speed race through rugged terrains, dodging geysers and splashing through mud holes. Scenic trails will wind through the park, offering adventurers close-up views of geysers and other natural wonders.

Imagineers have meticulously designed Piston Peak to integrate smoothly with the existing Frontierland. Natural barriers like trees and terrain will separate the new land from Liberty Square and Frontierland, preserving the thematic integrity of both areas. Additionally, elements from Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, such as geysers, will extend into Piston Peak, creating a cohesive and immersive experience.

The opening date for Piston Peak National Park has not been officially announced, but construction is underway, with expectations for a 2027 debut.
