Mater's Junkyard Jamboree
Mater's Junkyard Jamboree is a spinning family ride in Cars Land. You sit in a trailer behind a tractor and swing around at the party of Mater, the tow truck from the film Cars.
The concept
Mater has rounded up a herd of cheerful tractors for an old-fashioned square dance in his junkyard. You're invited too. The tractors are your dance partners. Mater himself sings the songs that keep the party going.
The Experience
You climb into a tractor's trailer. Hold on tight: the trailer whips and spins in figures of eight across the dance floor. Meanwhile, Mater sings one cheerful song after another. It's a short, cheerful ride that children especially love.

Look for Mater
Mater sits in his shed. There he sings and operates a home-made jukebox made of oil drums, hubcaps, bonnets, horns and exhaust pipes.
During the holidays
Around the holidays the ride becomes Mater's Jingle Jamboree, with Christmas songs from Mater in a decorated junkyard. According to Disney, that version returns on 13 November 2026.
Rider Switch
With Rider Switch, one adult waits with a child who can't ride while the rest of the group rides. Afterwards, up to two of those waiting can board without queuing again.
Visitor information
You must be at least 81 cm (32 inches) tall. Children under 7 must be accompanied by someone aged 14 or older. Lightning Lane isn't available for this ride: everyone waits in the same standby queue. Rider Switch is available. If you use a wheelchair or mobility scooter, you'll need to transfer. There's an adapted vehicle to make transferring easier.
Mater's Graveyard JamBOOree
Around Halloween the junkyard turns into a spooky graveyard: Mater's Graveyard JamBOOree. Mater then sings creepy country songs such as "Welcome to Radiator Screams" and "Monster Truck Smash". According to Disney, that version returns in 2027.
