Attended on a Saturday and the line was crazy all day. I caved and bought the lighting lane. Even though I bought it at noon, the earliest I could reserve was 5:30 pm. It was the last ride of the day and we were all exhausted. Even with the pass, we had to wait about 20-30 minutes. All that being said, we all ended up loving the ride. It's really fun, takes you through the Cars story, and ends with a thrill. Several people on our ride commented it's way more fun and visually stunning at night. It was my only time riding but the exterior part of the ride was very pretty at night. This ride is great but you either need to go right at park open, get the lighting lane (the price was pretty hefty), or plan to wait a couple hours.

Bro. Why is the line 100 minutes long!?!?! The ride is a 6 person seater with 5 minutes of riding time. 5×12=60 then 6×60=360 so in sense its 360 people riding every hour. THE ISSUE IS. TOO MANY FAST PASSERS!! The people who bought a fast pass get to go in front of people who waited HOURRRRRRSSSS. BUT! They decided since the standby flow is SOOO BAAAD they let in 2 GROUPS OF FAST PASSERS ahead of you. AND IT WAS RAINING!! I dont know why but today there were WAAAAAY too many people in the park during the rain.
But anyway...please block fast pass operation till your lines are back under 60 minutes at least. Wait an HOUR AND 41 minutes is RIDICULOUS😡😤

It's a 5 star ride. Love the race, think people who go to Luigi's should win more.

The entire Cars Land area is simply incredible, and Radiator Springs Racers is easily one of its highlights. The props, scenery, and design of the ride are absolutely breathtaking — the level of detail makes it feel like you’ve stepped straight into the movie. It’s a truly immersive experience from start to finish. The ride itself is fast and thrilling, but never over the top or uncomfortable, making it perfect for pretty much all ages. An absolute must-do when visiting the park.
Be prepared to wait though, as it would be the most popular ride at the park.
