This week, Disney announced of the closure of a beloved Hollywood Studios attraction . . .Lightning McQueen's Racing Academy.  The show will be closing to make way for a new Villains show debuting next year.

Disney-MGM Studios (now Hollywood Studios) opened back in 1989 as the 3rd park at Walt Disney World, but unlike its predecessors, its history is filled with lawsuits and corporate disputes. Plus its mere existence may have single handily started the Theme Parks Wars with Universal Studios.

http://www.attractionchecklist.com - Start your engines! It's time to race off to Disney's Hollywood Studios to check out Lightning McQueen's Racing Academy.  Recorded on August 16, 2019. TRANSCRIPT: Welcome to Attraction Checklist. This episode we venture to Disney’s Hollywood Studios to watch Lightening McQueen’s Racing Academy.  The Guidemap describes this attraction by saying: Get pumped for a high-octane experience where you’ll learn what it takes to be a champion from the legendary racer, Lightning McQueen.  Since this is a show, there are no age or height requirements for this attraction.  Before we hear how Lightning McQueen stays in shape, here are five fast facts about Lighting McQueen’s Racing Academy. 1. Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy was announced on the Disney Parks Blog on June 29, 2018 and had its debut performance less than a year later on March 31, 2019. 2.  Prior to hosting Lightning McQueen, the building this attraction is in housed Club Disney an interactive dance party for families which debuted on December 5, 2015. 3. The giant wrap-around screen used in the show is 200 feet long and two stories high! 4. This attraction is, obviously, based on the Disney/Pixar Cars franchise, but an interesting bit of trivia is that elements from each of the three Cars films are featured in the show. 5. The Lightning McQueen animatronic featured in the show is very similar to the ones in Disney California Adventures Radiator Springs Racers.  However this animatronic actually has the ability to completely turn around and face the simulator he’s using. Let’s start our engines and check out Lighting McQueen’s Racing Academy.  After the show I’ll give you my thoughts on this attraction and this is a binaural recording so if you have headphones put them on now as we race off to Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!

New for the summer of 2019 just past the Rock and Roller Coaster in the Sunset Showplace you’ll find Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy.  The courtyard outside the academy is a perfect spot to get a picture with Cruz Ramirez and the Piston Cup.  Don’t forget to check your times guide for DJs dance party –“DJ’s Ready! Set! Party Time!” where you gather around DJ for Cars-inspired dances and games.  Then cruise on inside for the Racing Academy.  The Academy premiered on March 31, 2018.  The show lasts about 10 minutes, inviting guests into the world of Pixar animated, “Cars”, where you become a rookie racer and learn the rules of the road from Piston Cup champion Lightning McQueen himself.  Lightning appears live on stage with a 17-foot-tall wraparound screen stretching more than 200 feet across.  Lightning shares racing knowledge he gathered over the course of his career- and if there’s one thing he’s learned?  Things don’t always go the way they are supposed to, but with some help from your friends – you’ll get back on track.  Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe for more SamsDisneyDiary.com, Youtube.com/SamsDisneydiary

Just over 30 years ago, April 30th, 1989, John Ritter introduced us to the concept of the Disney MGM Studios, a new theme park that was a fully functioning television and movie production studio providing you a peek behind the scenes at moviemaking magic where you could even be part of the action.  If you're into Disney history, the 90-minute special is a must watch – You can catch the full episode here Walt Disney World celebrated the 30th anniversary of the opening for Disney Studios earlier this month.  The festivities included a cavalcade of Disney characters on Hollywood Boulevard led by none other than Mickey and Minnie Mouse.   Mickey and Minnie introduced us to the Disney Hollywood Studios new logo and limited time merchandise, food, and drinks commemorating the 30th Anniversary. It’s hard to believe that when the studios opened, MGM Studios was a half day park, a side trip from Epcot where you could learn how movies were made.  Fast forward 30 years and Disney Hollywood Studios is about to become the epicenter of Walt Disney World.  With the opening of Star Wars Galaxy Edge this August,  the 14 acre immersive land will be followed by Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railroad in early 2020 completing the park-wide transformation that includes Toy Story Land, Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy, An Incredible Celebration on Pixar Place, and Disney Junior Dance Party and open for summer 2019! For the park’s 30th Anniversary celebration, Disney announced the addition of a table service restaurant, Roundup Rodeo BBQ, in Toy Story Land and an array of Toy Story 4 pop-up merchandise locations. The evening finished with the premiere of “Wonderful World of Animation”, the all-new projection show in Center Stage.  Projected onto the Chinese Theater, the show chronicles the journey through 90 years of Disney and Pixar animations and includes blasts from the past and rarely seen characters as well as new favorites and classic stories.  The show replaces the “Movie Magic” projection show, which you can find in SamsDisneydairy Episode #99 – The Wonderful World of Animation will lead to the always popular “Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular”.
