Building Locations Revealed for Cars and Villains Land Coming to the Magic Kingdom

New Permit Reveals Ride and Show Building Footprints for Cars and Villains Lands at Magic Kingdom

Fresh permit filings with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection have just given us our clearest look yet at what’s coming to Magic Kingdom, and things are getting villainously exciting. New utility and water management plans filed by Disney outline multiple new “facility” buildings tied to the upcoming Cars-inspired Piston Peak National Park and the long-teased Disney Villains Land.

Piston Peak National Park will take over most of the former Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island footprint within Frontierland, while Villains Land will rise in a backstage area north of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and The Haunted Mansion. The Villains side of the filing shows two large facilities that could be show buildings for rides or entertainment, along with a smaller structure between them and a long building that appears to sit between the Villains and Cars areas just north of Big Thunder.

Disney has already confirmed two attractions for Villains Land, but has not revealed whether these buildings will house rides, shows, shopping, or dining. Over in Piston Peak, the permit outlines a semi-circle-shaped building and two smaller facilities. The semi-circle structure is likely tied to the off road rally race attraction announced for the Cars land, which is expected to be mostly outdoors, while the second attraction may also rely heavily on exterior track and terrain.

One especially intriguing detail is a small facility located near The Haunted Mansion, which could serve as anything from extended queue space to restrooms or even a themed lounge or bar, though Disney has not hinted at its purpose. While these filings focus on underground utilities rather than final layouts, they give us a fascinating early map of how Cars and Villains will reshape Frontierland and beyond, and it’s clear that Magic Kingdom’s future is shifting into high gear.
