On March 31, 2019, a new show will make its debut at Disney’s Hollywood Studios: Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy!
Lightning Mcqueen will be teaching us rookie racers in the audience with help from his friends Cruz Ramirez, Tow Mater and more.
Disney shares that the show will feature many of the original voice talents from Disney-Pixar’s “Cars 3” and other films in the franchise. While Larry the Cable Guy presents the voice of Mater, it’s been revealed that John Ratzenberger — playing McQueen’s closest companion and official transport truck, Mack — will also be featured in the attraction.
This is especially fitting given that John Ratzenberger has contributed his skills to every Pixar Animation Studios feature film.
Disney also shared the following video of John Ratzenberger back in the studio recording for Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy. “When you enter the theater, Mack and Sally Carrera welcome all the rookie racers and test your knowledge of Lightning McQueen as you take your seat and get ready for the show. Fuel up and rev your engines, because the fun starts when Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy opens on March 31 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!”
