Radiator Springs Racers is a slot car dark ride in Cars Land at Disney California Adventure Park in Anaheim, California. It opened on June 15, 2012, and uses a third-generation version of the ride system developed for Test Track at Epcot, designed by Walt Disney Imagineering and built by Dynamic Attractions. At more than $200 million, it is reported as the most expensive theme park ride ever built.
Based on the film Cars, the ride passes through Ornament Valley and the town of Radiator Springs, with indoor scenes featuring the film's characters. It ends in a side-by-side race between two cars over hills and around banked turns past red-rock formations, reaching about 40 mph. A ride lasts about four and a half minutes.
