Luigi's Rollickin' Roadsters Opening March 7 at Disney California Adventure:

After being closed for nearly a year, Luigi will be finally returning to Cars Land along with his cousins from Carsoli, Italy with the opening of Luigi's Rollickin' Roadsters on March 7th. Disneyland Annual Passholders will begin previewing the new attraction on March 4th.

Luigi returns by turning the tire storage yard behind Casa Della Tires into a trackless dance floor. Cars Land guests will ride along with with Luigi's cousins as they move and spin to upbeat Italian music as they perform traditional dances of their hometown village.

Each car will have its own high-spirited personality, its own name, and signature dance moves. Each ride will be unpredictable, as you won't know which way they will turn or spin next. Here is a video of how Disney Imagineering thought of all this for the new attraction:
