Lightning McQueen, from the popular animated movie series Cars, stopped by 91Ô­´´ Saturday and was met by a vast crowd of children.

By 10 a.m. when the talking race car was unveiled, there was already a long ling of parents and kids stretching halfway across the parking lot of the 91Ô­´´ Canadian Tire.

91Ô­´´ is one of the only two B.C. stops on Lightning McQueen’s Epic Road Trip at Canadian Tires Across the country.\

Cars 3 comes to theatres this summer and leading up to its release, Disney is sending a full-size Lightning McQueen vehicle on tour.

The 91Ô­´´ stop was Saturday, April 29 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The only other B.C. stop is in Tsawwassen on Sunday.

Visitors had the chance to have their photo taken with the life-size character car, plus test their motor skills at a remote control race car track. In addition, the Disney Channel hosted a Kids’ Activity Pit Stop area with free Cars 3 arts and crafts for visitors.
