Disneyland Confirms Luigi's Flying Tires' Demise

By Robert Niles: The Disneyland Resort today announced that its Cars Land attraction Luigi's Flying Tires will close on Feb. 16 for replacement.

The new Luigi's attraction will ditch the Flying Tires in favor of dancing cars, according to the new concept art Disney has released. The revamped attraction, with a new, as-yet-unannounced name, will open in early 2016.

Luigi's Flying Tires attempted to recreate the appeal of Disneyland's original Flying Saucer attraction from the 1950s. But, as Disney Legend and Imagineer Tony Baxter told us, "there isn't a single person on the planet who wants to fly on a rubber tire." That lack of conceptual appeal, plus a ride system that confused many visitors (despite our best efforts) ultimately left Luigi's as the least popular attraction in the otherwise wildly successful Cars Land.


If you'd like a rough idea of what the new ride might be like, consider a "dry-land" version of the Aquatopia ride at Tokyo DisneySea.
