Rumors swirling that Disney's Hollywood Studios will be getting a Radiator Springs makeover.While this news is by no means official it sounds like a formal announcement may be right around the corner.

Ask us to recite any line and you'll hear the whole movie. The recently opened Cars Land in California has been met with postivive reviews from fans and non-fans of the franchise.
