A TON of new rides and experiences are now open in Disney World, including Rock ‘n’ Rollercoaster Starring the Muppets, Bluey’s Wild World, and Soarin’ Over America. However, we can’t forget about all of the many Disney World projects still under construction.
Piston Peak Construction
And over in Magic Kingdom, we’ve got a new Piston Peak update we have to tell you about!
Piston Peak is a Magic Kingdom expansion themed to the Cars universe. However, to stay in theme with the Frontierland aesthetic, in this land, you are visiting Piston Peak National Park, a nature wonderland in the Cars universe.

We will be getting two new attractions in this land, as well as lots of immersive natural scenery to explore. We are so excited for this land to open, and we’ve got an update on the construction process.
Piston Peak Construction
On our last visit, we noticed lots of earth and dirt being moved around, as well as drainage pipes that looked staged for installation. This would be a huge step forward in the construction process.
Exciting next steps
There is still a very long way to go before this land is open for the public to explore and enjoy, however.
Still a long way to go
But, we are excited that after a long closure, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad has officially reopened, with an updated track, new effects, and a brand new scene! This marks the first step of the major Frontierland expansion and update.
