    Hi! Will radiator springs be open by October 1st? Was really bummed to see it’s closed during the boogie bash. Also, will thunder mountain railroad possibly be open by then too? My daughter is finally tall enough to ride so we were looking forward to it.

    Hi there, Samantha. Welcome back to planDisney!

    I’m delighted to see you’ll be heading to Oogie Boogie Bash soon. It will be kicking off on August 22 and runs on select nights through October 31, 2025 at Disney California Adventure Park. This separate ticketed event is family-friendly, and everyone will have a ghoulish grand time. 

    As you may have heard, Radiator Springs Racers will be heading to a pitstop soon. While its reopening date has not been officially released, one place I like to check for ride closures for refurbishment is the Hours & Events Calendar. At this time, the calendar is available through the end of September and Radiator Springs Racers is not listed as closed for refurbishment beginning on September 26. I went through the same process to look for closure dates for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, one of my kids’ favorite rides. Based on the current available dates of the calendar, it looks like it will still be closed through the end of September for refurbishment. 

    Of course, these dates are subject to change, so I recommend checking the calendar as you get closer to your travel date. Be sure to periodically check the Disney Parks Blog or follow the official Disneyland Resort account, @Disneyland, on social media for the latest news and updates.

    If you have more questions, please don’t hesitate to visit us on planDisney again. We’re happy to help you plan your magical trip to the Happiest Place on Earth!

    Sending you pixie dust,
