I don't think we even know for sure that it's Route 66 (although it is very heavily implied I don't think they ever actually say it or have signs saying it), but we do know that they aren't in California. Lightning McQueen repeatedly tells us how he needs to get to California for the big race, and nobody seems to correct him saying that they are currently in CA. So, ironically, we don't know the exact location of Radiator Springs, but we do know that it is definately NOT in California. Perfect theme for a land in a park about the state, huh?

I know these themes are tenuous at best, but I think Disney has abandoned really trying to tell specific California stories anymore...especially since everything is character driven.

85	SuperDry Sun 4/20/2008 12:04p	I would imagine that they would want to wait until the changes are mostly complete before rebranding the park. They'll probably get only one chance with the public.
86	WilliamK99 Tue 4/22/2008 2:46a	I have always thought Walt Disney's California would be a good name for the park....
87	Malin Tue 4/22/2008 12:16p	Do you think Cars land is going to open up when the second movie gets released, as kind of a cross promotion between the Parks and Studios. I know Lassaster was wanting to do this when he took on the advisor role at WDI.
88	FerretAfros Tue 4/22/2008 4:09p	It appears like the two will open around the same time, but it's more of a happy coincedence than any thing else. By the time they are able to script out and create a movie, it's about the same length of time needed to develop and build a major park addition.
89	WorldDisney Tue 4/22/2008 10:03p	Wow, there's going to be a sequel to Cars??? The only Pixar film I never bothered watching again after the first time?? Blah... Can't wait for the ride though :).
