Radiator Springs lit up at night in Cars Land, featuring colorful neon lights along Route 66, the iconic Flo’s V8 Café sign shining bright, vintage Cozy Cone Motel signage, and dramatic Ornament Valley rock formations creating that magical Pixar atmosphere unique to Disneyland Resort.

The final stretch of the race to the grand opening of Cars Land is upon as, as Disneyland Resort prepares the final touches of the 5-year expansion to the Disney California Adventure theme park. Though construction walls won’t come down for another couple weeks, guests visiting the park can currently catch a glimmering glimpse of new Disney magic as the main street of Radiator Springs lights up each night in dazzling neon.

With vibrant, animated signs pointing the way to Flo’s V8 Cafe, the Cozy Cone Motel, and Sarge’s Surplus Hut, guests’ eyes are drawn directly down the street, ultimately ending at City Hall with the recognizable mountain range towering behind, all straight out of the world created in Disney/Pixar’s “Cars” films. And if you look closely at the yellow stoplight, you might even see that every third blink is slower, thanks to Fillmore.

Disney also recently released a “making-of” video showcasing the creation of the neon in Cars Land:
