Everything to Know about Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy

This 10-minute long show stars Lightning McQueen as he figures out the newest racing simulator technology. With years of experience, Lightning should be able to stay on course, but will he?! He has help along the way from some of his friends from the movies, like Mater and Cruz Ramirez. This theatre features a large wrap around screen and a Lightning McQueen animatronic, so this show offers quite the immersive experience as you find out if McQueen will be victorious or not.
