Autopia is the only existing Tomorrowland attraction dating back to Disneyland Park's opening day in 1955. They are featuring a working gas pedal and steering wheel navigates curves and inclines like a real car. Each car can fit 2 adults or 3 kids. You must be at least 54 inches tall to drive the car y your own. If you are 32 inches tall, you can drive alongside someone who is at least 54 inches tall. Having an opportunity to ride a car, exciting for a kid for sure. My son loved it when we were there last time. This time he wanted to ride alone. Surely fun for him. But the wait was too much - close to 75 mins. And it's a 2-3 mins drive at the max! Slow cars, very loud and the smells gas everywhere. They pulled out at least 3 cars due to technical issues while we were waiting for our turn. The car I drove was a faulty one too. The pedal response was incredibly bad. Literally struggled to navigate it through the track and reach to the finishing point. This one doesn't excite me anymore. Idea is good. May be it's time for an upgrade. read more

Autopia is an attraction at Tomorrowland within Disneyland Park. It's a motorized car that takes you on a road trip throughout Tomorrowland. This ride does have a height restriction, requiring everyone in the party to be 32'' or taller. It's considered a slow, loud ride. Guests who are at least 54'' can drive their own gas-powered car, however, any guest whom is between 32'' and 54'' can drive as long as they're accompanied by someone at least 54''. Throughout your journey, you'll be winding through roads. You'll notice iconic locations such as the Matterhorn in the distance. You'll also see Honda themed robot and bird along the journey. Autopia is a relatively older ride, dating back to Disneyland's opening park day in 1955. Over the years, however, there has been refurbishments to the ride such as updating the car styles and roadways. It's a fun ride. My daughter enjoys it and we usually try to ride Autopia at least one time during our Disneyland visit. There is no Fastpass (or soon to be Disney Genie+) for this ride. read more

There's nothing worse than thinking you'll be waiting 5 minutes for this ride, only to find out it's actually closer to 45. This ride is not worth the wait. It's cute for kids to steer while adults control the pedal, but the fumes are brutal. read more

This ride is great for all ages, but I think so more so kids or people who don't actually drive cars. The older we get it goes from fighting to take turns driving to fight to be the passenger enjoy the view and relaxing your feet. Lightening Lane Perks are in full effect with this ride. You check in at the blue umbrella and go straight down to make line. The lane to the left looks longer , but goes faster because it's two lanes of cars compared to the right side lane. read more

RAIN review... It's extremely rare to be able to walk on Autopia and ride it over and over again on a normal day at Disneyland. In the rain? Yeah you can do that. I was surprised they kept the ride open while it was raining but I'm glad they did. It was fun driving through puddles of water. Autopia is a fun center track controlled ride that has enough jolting bumps to make it interesting. Gotta admit when the Honda gas engines occasionally backfire it's way cool. This ride is a much bigger hit with kids and teens. Tip - It's tough taking pictures on this attraction, especially of the cars behind you. So just don't do it. - For the love of God, if you're small child is steering, please be the one controlling the gas pedal... Nothing is more frustrating than being slowed down by a car in front of you that doesn't move on the track. read more

Autopia - Driving in the rain - Amusement Parks Near Me - Anaheim, California

A great ride for kids and adults, kids will mostly enjoy the ride more since it's the closest thing for them on driving a car. We didn't have to wait long in the line, basically like 5 minutes. I asked for separate cars for me and my fiancée because I wanted to bump into her. But they tell you not to bump the cars in front of you so of course I didn't For the car to actually go, you have to press the pedal all the way down and it's a fun experience especially when it's not a hot day. I don't think you have to do much beside just pressing the pedal all the way down for the car to go. The staff are friendly and you don't have to wear mask during this ride since it's outdoor. read more

Wanna taka a ride in a Hot Rod? Not as exciting as a lot of the other rides you'll encounter on a day trip to Disneyland .... if you have small ones though, they will probably have a blast getting to drive a nearly for real car. Cruise the scenic winding roads of this classic attraction in a souped-up coupe. To be precise their idea of souped up and mine are probably two very different things. Scenic attractions include finding your way through a small bridge and getting to see iconic attractions like the Matterhorn in the distance. Spot Honda's Humanoid Robot and Bird along the road. Your car does feature a working gas pedal and steering wheel, and the ride is intended for 2 adults or 3 children and navigates curves and inclines just like the a real car. Don't worry about needing extra insurance, these vehicles are equipped with front and rear bumpers and an undercarriage guide rail to safeguard your trip. No need to brake, take your foot off the gas pedal and it'll slow down quick enough. Designed for Smaller Drivers Height restrictions to drive the car, you must be at least 54 inches (137 cm) tall may drive their own gas-powered car. Another Disneyland fun fact: Autopia is the only existing Tomorrowland attraction dating back to Disneyland Park's opening day in 1955. read more

I know it's a classic ride but the only thing they was a joy was watching kids who have never been behind a steering wheel get their chance to drive. I would have preferred to watch from afar then get cramped into a Honda Car that can't go anywhere. read more

If your kids are like mine, they constantly drive you crazy. With this ride, they have the chance to literally drive you crazy lol. If your child is tall enough they are able to drive a car (more like a go cart) around on a track. The car is able to comfortably have 2 riders. The child can steer and the adult can control the gas if they can't reach. For my children, it was their first time steering a "car" on their own and it was hilarious! I have a 2 minute video of my son and I and I am seriously giggling the entire video length. It was the best first reactions recorded for both of us! At the exit there is a photo booth where you can purchase an Autopia drivers license for your littles, or even yourself lol. $5 and the machine accepts both cash and card. Sweet momento for everyone. The queue is always long! I don't think this ride has a fast pass option or a single rider line either. The one con from me has to be the awful fumes. But I know that can't be helped. I guess it would be too optimistic of me to think that Disney would switch to solar or even electric powered cars right? Everyone plays a part... but then again, if my hopes were to come to reality, that would definitely mean another price hike in admissions. read more

Autopia - Amusement Parks Near Me - Anaheim, California

When I was a kid, my favorite ride at Disneyland was Autopia. Why? Because you get to drive a car all by yourself. Autopia is one of the original rides when Disneyland first opened. The ride consists of a car that you drive around a track with rails. The car goes only about 5 -10 mph so it's perfect for kids to drive alone or with an adult. The lines are pretty long for this ride as it is one of the popular rides for kids. Autopia hasnt changed much over years, only cosmetic changes were made when Honda started sponsoring the ride. They still use the same gas powered cars as before that emits a gas smell when being driven. I am not sure why they haven't updated to electric cars as it has become more common for public use. The ride is overdue for an upgrade. read more

Fun drive around a designated area where you can spot a few robots. Small children are not allowed to sit in your lap so either you seat your small child between you and another adult or you let your child steer (with your help) and you push the gas pedal. I let my daughter steer as I pushed the gas pedal. I will say it was hard to not accelerate too much as to not hit the car in front of you and steer in the opposite direction of your child. Haha, all in all, my daughter had fun thinking she was driving and checking out the robots. My hubby drove in a separate car in front of us but we all had a lot fun. read more

We were lucky enough to pretty much walk on this ride ( well to be fair, it was about 5 mins). I had to go on this ride since it has literally been since high school since I last went on Autopia. It's located in Tomorrowland - behind the submarine ride. 4 stars -1 missing for the fumes. This ride is a bit smelly with the fumes from the vehicles. I think it would be nice if Disney ( Honda) would consider making these cars (go-Karts on a track) electric but maybe ( I am no engineer) leave the car engine noise. All the fun for the kids but no smell which is a bit much IMHO. The ride is quite fun and long for a today's typical theme park rides. It's old school Disneyland so it's nice to see that it's still around, going strong. You can also get an Autopia driver's license if so inclined, which is a nice memory for kids and adults alike. Hack- We like to go to Disneyland after the fireworks so that many people have already left and you can enjoy hardly any wait times in the park. I just love Disneyland ;). It's the kid in me, I guess. read more

Honestly, I don't even remember if I've ever been on this as a child. The first memory of going on this ride was about two years ago when I was 24, HAHA. This isn't even a bad ride. It's fun to troll your friends, whether they're in front of you, behind you, or in the same car as you. Of course Radiator Springs is better, but you can't compare rides like that. If you're going to hate on any ride because you're a badass, then get the heck out. Please don't post on Yelp if you hate it because it's outdated. Sure it's outdated, but it's still fun. Less than a 30 minute wait? Go for it. Lines move by pretty fast anyways. read more

It's funny how much my kids have always loved Autopia. Even now that one has had her drivers license for 3+ years now and the other will be getting his this year they just love driving these little cars around on the track. Whenever I have driven by myself I always get the slowest car. Last trip my daughter drove and I got to hitch a ride with her and it was fun. We went just before the fireworks went off and during our drive one of the cars in front of us stalled and we had the perfect spot behind the Matterhorn and a great view of the fireworks. Just like in real life it is always a better ride when someone else is driving. IT is also nice to see various things around Tomorrowland while drive. Love seeing Osmo and all the décor. Autopia is just pure fun for all ages. read more

Not my favorite ride of Disneyland. But my nine year old niece LOVES this ride. Makes her believe that she's actually driving. I have a hard time with this ride because of all the gas smell from the exhaust. It's really hard to walk near finding Nemo or be in Tomorrowland with out gulping a mouthful of gas exhaust. The line js generally long and slow. And they don't have any fast passes ... so it's generally a ride I avoid getting on. read more

Who doesn't enjoy a pointless drive every now and then? Driving around on a track at a few miles per hour can be quite the enjoyable experience for anyone who chooses to partake in such an awesome activity! This ride is a staple to the park for all the little grommets out there who want to drive but might be a little to young to hit up that place everyone loves called the DMV! One of the fun parts about driving down the Autopia track is when you let your car go on auto drive basically just holding down the pedal and letting it bounce off the railings back and forth giving you a type of side to side whiplash as that's always fun just because! Hahaha! This attraction has been here since I was a little one and I can't count how many times I have driven on this track even before when they had two separate tracks that were combined to what you have now. This has always been one of my favorite things to do in the park as the line is generally not that long even more so if you grab one of the Fastpasses that's sure to make it just an all around good time! I'm not exactly sure where all the cars came about from but I do remember where Suzy the coupe car came from she was in a Disney short that used to play sometimes along side the Donald, and Mickey cartoons. The Suzy one was about the cars life from being new to getting run down and ending up at the junk yard only to find herself getting restored in the end with a nice new owner this was just one of the many awesome Disney shorts that just don't really play anymore. I'll be looking forward to my next trip to Autopia as it might be my last as from what I've herd this area will be demolished to make room for more Star Wars stuff. read more

After getting through (Hyper)space Mountain, we stayed in the Tomorrowland area and waited about 30-40 minutes here at Autopia to drive a car. I went with my friend because my other friends told me to "entertain her driving" and so I did. The area smells like car exhaust and it gets really sickening after awhile, but I feel bad for all the workers. Autopia splits you into 2 lines, and in those 2 lines they split you into 2 groups. They put you in a car which seats 2 people and the driver (on the right) then takes the pedal and floors it. They tell you to be careful, because you CAN hit the person in front of you. Another thing is that the pedal sticks, so it does take some hard pushing to get to. But my friend gave me such a rocky ride because she couldn't turn. Gosh it's like I was being driven by a five year old person who was acting so happy when she got into Disneyland for the first time. Gosh was she happy. It was a fun track and takes about 5 minutes to get through (or if you're a bad driver or just bad, it might takes a little longer). Enjoy the track! Fastpass: Yes Sick Drops: 10/10 it's called your friend being bad at driving and making you throw up. I didn't throw up. 0/10, level ground. Also dot_ham, you suck read more

Autopia was my favorite ride at one time, especially back in the day when there we no lines, and before I had a drivers license. My friend Joe and I would go on two or three times in a row, our record being 16 times. But being a troublemaking 14 year old, what made it most fun. My favorite was driving my car all the way to the left of the rail and then swerving sharply to the right when a car passed-- they could never touch but it still scared people. Joe's speciality, however, was much more insidious. He would time it perfectly to get in front of the car line in Autopia. His speciality was knowing and stopping his car at the secret unmanned spots unseen by cameras. He would sit there until the entire row of cars was stuck in his traffic jam. That's funny when you're 14, but now I have to deal with it in real life. Is that Joe in front of all of us on the 405? read more

I hate Bird so much. You cannot possibly understand the hatred I feel for this horrible creature. I am actually shaking with rage rn. When I went on this ride a few minutes ago, I wouldn't of physically and psychologically been able to handle another one of Bird's ear piercing, "welcome driver's I'm bird!" or "bienvenidos yo soy bird!" This ride is "powered" by Honda. I blame Honda for the creation of this monstrosity. I will be boycotting everything Honda from now until the end of time. Once upon at time there was a different mascot. There used to be cars with eyes where the headlights should be. I thought that those were annoying but I would rather spend every single day of my life with one of those than hear bird screech one more time. Disney I'm begging you. Please end my suffering. read more

When I was just a lad, i loved Autopia... I mean, what blue-blooded American kid didn't dream of racing a dragster along a winding road, only to brutally rear-end a perfect stranger without fear of reprisal? Still, I vividly remember my dad's prognostication: "The day you get your driver's license, Autopia won't be fun anymore... Until you bring your own kids on it." Dad's assertions were all correct. The glorified riding mower engines cleverly disguised as go cart dragsters lost their appeal once I could swipe dad's keys to the truck, and take off on the SoCal roads and highways, unfettered by a raised center track that kept me in the one lane Autopia thoroughfare. I happen to enjoy the smell of burning fossil fuels (must have been those formative years working as a deckhand on diesel-burning fishing boats) so the delightfully rich-running 50 to 1 engines harken me back to simpler times. Indeed, taking my own offspring on this ride rejuvenates the experience: I pretty much stand on the accelerator, and my kid does his/her best to steer through the twists and turns at a screaming 4 miles per hour. "Improved" bumpers and throttle governors keep collisions somewhat less vertebrae-wrenching, but it's still fun to slam into an unsuspecting mom and her child, only to be reprimanded by Disney Autopia staff about the dangers of such maneuvers. A hard crash seems to kill the engine sometimes, too. Oh well, nothing a short walk to the Karl Strauss beer cart in California Adventure can't cure. Interestingly, if you were to time it right, you can technically drive blotto on Autopia after sucking down several IPAs at the other park, high tailing it across the property with a fast pass, and experience the Disney whimsical magic of driving shah'fazzed drunk on Autopia and making it home alive... You can't do that one with a California driver's license on the I-5, Dad. read more

Only go on this ride if you have a child who really wants to "drive" a car. You control the gas pedal and steering, but you are running it on a rail so there really isn't a point. Also if you happen to be behind a car driven by a poor steerer, you will be moving very slowly. Every time you don't steer with the rail the car bumps against it and slows way down. Also, can we talk about the exhaust stink? It permeates the entire area of the park. You smell it the entire time you're waiting in line as well as while you're driving as the car in front of you spews fumes into your face. I'm a huge electric car fan but understand the limitations of a battery EV in this kind of all-day application. But if the car's going to run on a rail why not also power it through that same rail? Like one of those busses in SF powered by an overhead line except from the other side? Hopefully Disney is considering a fossil fuel alternative. read more

I had fond memories of this ride. I haven't been on it since probably high school which was decades ago. Naturally the ride has since been revamped and looking a bit more modern. However the cars are still clunky and slow as molasses on a winter's day. The leisurely drive makes you feel like you're out on a weekend mowing the grass on your gas powered lawnmower. I wish there were actual things or scenery to look at as the actual drive itself is pretty boring... just like cutting grass. I would be fine with them replacing this ride with something else. read more

This is not bumper cars so do not bump anyone ahead of you. They will stop you. This ride is okay. You just drive around and check out the scenery.

They do give you a fake drivers license and at the end you can go through a photo booth to add your own photo for a small fee. read more

We drove miles in a car to get to Disneyland! Kids, what should we do first? I know, let's wait over an hour to sit in and drive little cars w/ people who stop suddenly in the middle of the road! I'm gonna b REAL honest here, I have grown tired of this attraction. They don't even let you bump into other cars anymore, yet somehow kids driving behind me still bump in to my car constantly. I would give this attraction 2 stars, but nostalgia keeps it at 3. Did you know once upon a time there were THREE different Autopias in Disneyland? There was the Fantasyland Autopia, the Tomorrowland Autopia, and the Midget Autopia (Not too pc now, I know, but it was for small children and that's just what it was called back then...it didn't last long...look it up if you don't believe me, why don't cha?). We are now left with this gas guzzling attraction. Isn't this 2017? Why aren't they electric? Well, Chevron was a sponsor for many years, but now they updated the attraction because Honda took over sponsorship rights and added...their robot A-something (A-hole is what I'll call him) and Bird. Bird? Bird?! Who the eff is Bird?! I'll flip him the bird, if y'know what I'm saying. Even though this version is much better than the one in Walt Disney World, I would not b sad if they knock this down to give room to build the rumored Tron coaster. It's time, y'all. read more

Autopia - To anyone that says driving in Autopia cars is not like real driving, this is proof- there's traffic on th roads just like in real life! - Amusement Parks Near Me - Anaheim, California

This isn't actually a ride. Well kind of. Autopia is a ride that you drive yourself. You just hop into a car and drive! I came here late at night at around 10:20 pm on a Saturday, and the wait was like 10 minutes long, so I decided to go on it. The concept of this is absolutely something different than the other rides. When I was younger (like 7 years old) this was like my favorite ride because I have never driven a car. I would say that it would be really fun when your younger, but not as thrilling when your older. You basically get on your own car, and control the speed of the car when you drive. The sad part was that it didn't move really fast. The smell of gasoline was really strong. Not super appealing when your car smells like gasoline... Well I went on it anyways. I feel like you don't even need to drive it. You basically just need to step on the pedal, and there's a track below you that controls your turns. But in the middle of my ride, a car in front of me ran out of gas or something. I sat in my car for like 20 minutes while people were screaming to hurry up. How great! They finally fixed it and everyone went along their way. I mean I would come here again if the wait time is short, but this isn't one of my favorites at Disney. read more

Autopia is located in Tomorrowland. As a child, this was my favorite ride. You basically sit in a car and drive. The car can fit one parent and a child but I always preferred riding solo. If I'm riding with someone, I like to be the driver. ::Experience:: It's like a car, you move the steering wheel and press on the gas pedal. The car is on a metal track that guides the vehicle so you can't drive in any direction. It's fun moving the steering wheel side to side, hearing the car "putter", and driving under the bridge. I like to pretend I'm racing even if the car moves slow. It's a short ride but I still enjoy it. ::"Meh" Moment:: The cars are powered by gas so you can smell the fumes; it's strong. read more

Love this classic ride! However I hate that they very slowly get the ride up and running. They opened with only a few cars operating. No respect for the few people waiting. Lines were short, but they had a complete disregard for our time. Staff were a bit gruff. read more

Not my favorite ride by any means. Granted the wait for this ride was shorter than most of the other lines but it was still about a 20-30 minute wait. I was psyched up because I thought it was going to be go at your own speed go-kart or bumper car style but was disappointed when I actually got onto the ride as it's actually pretty slow moving. You can't just jam the gas down and whizz out of the starting blocks. It's actually pretty controlled which I guess prevents injuries or someone getting hit in the back and getting whiplash or something. Also, the cars themself are slightly hard to control since the constant up and down shifting makes you go all over the track all catawampus. The second unfortunate aspect of this ride is that even before you get onto the ride there is an overwhelming invisible cloud of fumes that levitates near the grounds of Autopia. It's basically like standing in exhaust fumes from an old diesel VW or some other car. It didn't make me light headed or anything, just somewhat unpleasant. The fumes don't get much better once you're closer to getting into the actual cars. The cars are also very warm from the constant running of the gas behind where you sit. So be careful where you touch on the car when you're getting out or in. Lastly, as mentioned before, the jerky demeanor of the ride really just made me want to get off it and back to the starting line as soon as possible so that I could get on with my day. It's good that it's a short ride around the track. At least I can say I did it. I also don't see how it fits in with Tomorrowland as there is nothing space aged about the ride. read more

You can do better. VERDICT: *yawn* Pass. There's a ton of other waaaay cooler things to do with your time. Like wait in line for anything. read more

Autopia - Taken from the Tomorrowland monorail station - Amusement Parks Near Me - Anaheim, California

Zoom zoom zoom! So maybe you do not travel around the track at light speed but I love Autopia. This is one of those classic attractions that transports you back to when you were a small child and those cars seemed like they were huge and it seemed like you were traveling at light speed around the track. I have one small issue with the ride...the standby line is always pretty darn long. You almost have to get a Fastpass to experience this attraction without waiting 30-45 minutes. The problem with that is that Space Mountain and Buzz Lightyear are nearby and seem like better reasons to get a Fastpass. Please just make sure if you ride remember two things. If your child is big enough to ride by themselves make sure they know what they are doing. Nothing ruins a good time for everyone else more than a child who is confused and is just sitting on the track not going anywhere. It backs cars up for a wayyyy long time. Also please try and remember to try and not bump into the car in front of you. It is hard on the cars and could always injure the person in the other car. If you want bumper cars there are some over at California Adventure in Bugs Land. :0) read more

Autopia - Amusement Parks Near Me - Anaheim, California

Located at Disneyland Anaheim in Tomorrowland is the Autopia car attraction where guests are able to steer miniature cars on an enclosed track. Unfortunately these cars do spit out a lot of exhaust due to the gasoline that propels the cars forward, which in turn makes it a very stinky, slow ride. Coming off of this ride I always feel like my long hair and clothing have absorbed some of the exhaust smell, so this is definitely not one of Mommy's favorite rides here at the park. Yet surprisingly this ride still remains very popular among guests because the wait time for this ride always seems to be at least forty-five minutes. The only plus about this ride is that my little three-year-old is so proud that she is allowed to sit behind the wheel and steer to her heart's content, although Mommy often takes over so no traffic jam is caused. read more

I was excited to hear that they were finally going to update Autopia but the area is still filled with fumes. The ride could have been updated to an all-electric vehicle track but they are still gas powered. However, it is now sponsored by Honda instead of Chevron. The cars have an updated look with Honda logos. The ride itself is nostalgic for those of us who grew up with Disneyland. The cars seat 2 comfortably with a long seat belt. Just be careful of the track since the cars drive on the track with very few places to freestyle. The wait is around 20 minutes depending on time of day but it moves fast. They let you take a photo in the photobooth for your official Autopia license so it's a fun little souvenir you can get at the end. read more

The WORST ride at Disneyland! Autopia was a fun place when I was a kid however it's anything but fun now! Honda has turned what was once 1 of the best rides at Disneyland into the absolute worst place in the world! The cars are subpar old beat up honda motors in cars that don't accelerate when needed! The steering wheels are on the opposite side as if we're driving in Britain! The obstacle course would be much better if they had better working cars! And let's talk about the awful exhaust smell that's guaranteed to give you a headache! Really Honda? You couldn't have tried to make this a better experience for both adults and kids? This ride was a total waste of time that destroyed any and all of the good expectations I had of this stop at Disneyland! Shame on Disneyland with this awful renovation! read more

Nostalgia. This was my very first driving experience as a child! Zooming along the course, the smell of unburnt fuel in the air, and "nudging" your friends car. Time has past, I'm getting older, and this ride has not progressed with me. The dual action pedal requires so much force I had to switch legs. I probably got tired b/c anyone over 6 feet would have a hard time angling their feet to press the "accelerator." The course itself is fun with elevation changes and lots of twists. Kids love this ride, but there is nothing like the real thing. I love acceleration so fast it forces your head back and it's something that you can't get at Autopia. read more

While taking an easy 45 minute to two hour drive to Disneyland, there is one attraction that you don't have to worry about getting a speeding ticket at. Although it may not be your first choice, but as a kid, you wanted to be behind the wheel. All ages are welcomed at Autopia in Tomorrowland. There are mixed reviews about Autopia. Update the attraction? Leave it alone? I am mixed. As an adult, I love driving my vehicle. At the same time, I look forward to getting in an Autopia car. At one point, Chevron was a sponsor for this attraction, but not sure where that went. With Cars Land in Disney California Adventure, Autopia is redundant. The future of Autopia has some rumors going on, but this review is about how I enjoy and see some areas of improvement. I loved this ride as a kid. As a kid, we all wanted to be behind the wheel. We didn't know about car insurance, replacing the tire, or worry about $$$$. We just wanted to drive. Now, I drive a huge vehicle and probably put 6 of this go-karts on my truck. The go-karts fit two people, but its more one adult and one small child. Most of us adults go in separate vehicles. These vehicles are gasoline powered. Its a good thing that we don't have to pay for gas or pull on the side to re-fuel. However, the cars are controlled to max its speed limit and engines turn off when the car idles. I love driving around and suddenly stopping to hear the brakes screech. The one part I love is driving under the bridges. Especially the Monorail bridge. I am a tall guy and I love thinking that I might hit my head. The one thing that does need work is the vehicle. That can mean many things. The fumes is the big item. When a vehicle runs on gasoline, you don't want to smell it. The second would be the size. My foot pressing pedal is always in an awkward position. Last, its the steering wheel. Most of us, just press and let it go on cruise control. Most of the time, I hit my knee making turn that my vehicle can make easy. I think these go-karts need to go power steering :) This is one attraction that is outdated, but does have a place in a lot of our hearts. If this ride was updated, it would have been cool if the characters from Cars was integrated. Since Cars is in DCA, the future of Autopia seems less brighter everyday. So, I enjoy every minute riding before I have to say, "Goodbye!" You think I write too much? Well, you can call me a Yelp-O-Holic! read more

Autopia - In real life, Don't Text & Drive, but on Autopia, you can eat, sleep, and take photos while driving - Amusement Parks Near Me - Anaheim, California

It's been years since we've been on this "ride". We usually try to do things that are new or not normal for us when we're at the parks on a rare uncrowded day. My Disney Parks app told me that the wait for Autopia was 5 minutes, so we hopped into line. The Disney Parks app lied to me. Thirty minutes later, we were nearing the front of the line, and decided that we'd pair up, with me being the driver. Before I get to that experience, though, let me say that their apparent partnership with the Chevron resulted in an overabundance of Techron car tie-ins. The talking, moving dioramas they have in the queue were interesting, but caused a bit of over-excitement with the children who just HAD to see what was going on - even if that meant stepping on or bumping into you as you stood in front of the display. Anyway - the wait was far longer than promised (I think the Disney Parks app is bad at guessing, because they promised 40 minutes for Radiator Springs Racers, but we were in line for 70 minutes...), but the cast members at the front were efficient at pointing people in the right directions. We lined up inside our white box to wait for our car, and entered when told. The cars are much louder than I remember them being, and much lower to the ground. And let's be real - it's not like I've gotten much taller since the last time I "rode" this. The cast member working the line went through the safety precautions with us before giving us the signal to go. So I stepped on the pedal and... *sputter, sputter, chug...* My husband, meanwhile, is in the "passenger seat" dying laughing to himself. He's thinking to himself, "My wife can't even drive a fake car, ffs!" We went stuttering sputtering down the track, me frantically pressing - almost standing on - the pedal to get the car to GO, all the while turning the steering wheel in an effort to prove to myself that I was, in fact, in control. Sputter stutter down the track we went. It was slow-going. It was painful. It was pathetic. It was painful. I know I already said that. But at one point, I really did start getting a cramp in my calf, from trying to push my foot through the pedal. I asked my husband to check behind us to see if there was anybody close, because I was fixin' to remove my foot and let him work the pedal. He gave the all clear, laughing to himself the entire time, and when I removed my foot (the car lurching to a halt on the tracks), he obligingly pushed down on the pedal, and... *sputter, sputter, chug...* Vindicated, I happily spun the steering wheel every which way, knowing that my husband was doing everything he could to get our poor little car to move faster, and that it was not working for him in the least. It was a cute little adventure - different from what I remembered, with a lot more "environment" added to the scenery. I can see how it'd be a thrill for kids who can't wait to drive, but for us, it was a lark. Oh, and the "get your Autopia driver's license" booths by the exit? I SO wanted one of my own, so we stepped up to the booth, pulled back the curtain, then instantly recoiled at the $5 price tag. FIVE DOLLARS! Yep, I'm pretty cheap, indeed. read more
