The ride was a rebirth of the "Flying Saucers" ride which operated at Disneyland from 1961-1966, but was closed due to ongoing unreliability and low capacity. Ironically, the California Adventure version of the concept was even shorter lived, only operating from 2012-2015, with Luigi's Rollicking Roadsters taking its place.

The circular metal vents on the floor deliver air, creating what is effectively a giant air hockey table. Riders sit in the tyres, which they can lean in to drift across the area and gently bump into each other.

Luigi's Flying Tires brings back a concept that was used on the early Disneyland attraction Flying Saucers (1961-1966), essentially a hovercraft dodgem ride.
