Refurbishments & Closures

Cars Ridge Run Rally

Announced at D23 2024 as the headline attraction of Piston Peak National Park in Frontierland. Disney has not announced an opening date or window, and has not confirmed the ride system. Reported 2029 estimates come from permit filings, not from Disney.

Miss Fritter's Daredevil Spin-Along

Confirmed at D23 2024 as a distinct second attraction in Piston Peak National Park, but Disney has published almost no detail beyond it being aimed at younger guests. Ride type and thrill level in this listing are inferred, not official. No opening date or window announced.

Monsters, Inc. Suspended Coaster

Announced at D23 in August 2024. At D23 in August 2026 Disney said the rest of Monstropolis opens in 2027 while work continues on this coaster, so the ride will open after the land. No opening date, season or year has been announced for the coaster itself.

Announced at D23 2024, replacing DINOSAUR. The 2027 window is official; no exact opening date has been announced. Reuse of DINOSAUR’s enhanced motion vehicle system is widely reported but has never been officially stated, so thrill level here may be conservative.
