Autopia

A Must-Do for Any Disney Fan! My family absolutely adores Autopia! It's one of those classic rides that never gets old. Watching my kids' faces light up as they "drive" their own car is pure magic. It's a great experience for both little ones and adults—we all love the feeling of cruising along the track. The ride is always well-maintained and the cast members are fantastic. It's a perfect blend of nostalgia and fun. We never miss it on our trips to Disneyland!

A great ride for the kiddos. I let my daughter work the pedal while I worked the steering wheel. A little cramped for us adults but still alot of fun.

Vrooom vroooom! It's Autopia, where nostalgia runs on tiny gas engines and the scent of childhood is unleaded and unmistakable. Yeah, yeah, it's "just" miniature cars on a track, but don't knock it till you've rumbled (okay, bounced mercilessly and uncomfortably) through those scenic winding roads under that cute little bridge, surrounded by waving robots in scenes of the future and classic Disneyland charm. I rode this as a kid and now, even as a full-grown adult (who probably should've stretched before getting in and out of this lowrider), I still love it. Bottom line: it's worth the inevitable back pain, LOL. The cars are adorable. All brightly painted (unless you don't luck out and get the plain black one) with a retro-futuristic vibe that just screams Disney circa 1950s. Plus, there's a surprising amount to see along the track, especially compared to its Florida cousin. Disney World features a "race" theme while Disneyland has a futuristic "country" drive vibe. Sorry, Florida, but California wins this one. Is it a smooth ride? Absolutely not. Is it cramped? Oh yes. Tall people, you've been warned, this ride wasn't built with your knees in mind. Getting in and out feels like a flexibility test no one signed up for. I get all sorts of aches and pains when I ride this attraction but I still think it's worth it. One of my fave things about this ride is the gas smell. I know I'm a weirdo, but it's so strong but weirdly great. It brings me right back to my childhood. My least fave thing about the ride is the queue area. It's in full sun with zero shade, so you will bake on sunny, hot days. Make sure you wear sunscreen, or wait to ride it in the evenings (or when the line is shorter). The ride is silly, outdated, a little uncomfortable, yet I'll gladly ride it every time I'm here. Autopia forever!!!!!!!!

It is wonderful that the rides are enjoyable for most people. It is also pleasing to experience and hear a non-electric engine. The track appears to be well-designed and extensive, even larger than the one at Disney World. It sounds like a delightful experience.

Autopia was also quite fun to go on! But I had 3 kids and 2 of my daughters were missing 😢 me and my 5 year old son tried to make the car drive faster! I think they went another way!!**

I’m 6’4 and it’s extremely tight. I don’t recommend if you’re similar height to me to take this ride. However it’s very fun and I love it.

Great for kids to have the chance to drive. Glad they are switching to an electric fleet soon. When that happens this will be updated to to a higher review. Also depends on how the new cars steer.

Worth it for the kiddo to drive and feel in control, but it gets super bumpy even if you know how to drive. Legs a bit cramped. Fumes everywhere. Fun to do once. Low on our list with the lightning lane multipass.

OK so I've gotta be honest - Autopia is SERIOUSLY showing its age! Those tiny cars feel like they're straight outta 1955, the exhaust fumes give me a headache by the end, and that track hasn't changed since I was a kid myself. BUT... my 5yo son goes absolutely BANANAS for this ride every. single. time. The look on his little face when he gets to "drive" by himself (even with me working the pedal lol) is honestly priceless. He thinks he's such a big boy! We usually hit this up mid-afternoon when the lines aren't terrible. No way am I waiting more than 30 mins though - it's just not worth it for what you get. And using a Lightning Lane on Autopia?? Hard pass. Will I keep riding it? Yup, as long as my kid keeps begging for it. But am I secretly counting down until he's tall enough for the REAL thrill rides? You bet I am!

Whiplash As an adult if want to prepare yourself on how your child will drive the first time, practice here. It's a decent time consuming two person ride. Here you can experience driving with one pedal, no alignment whatsoever, and you can stall on the side of the track. Yes attendants are around the track to give you a little nudge if you need. It's a popular ride so take advantage of lighting pass. Overall three stars. Kids will love it and adults will enjoy the ride. M

Autopia race cars sponsored by Honda. How do I know you can see the Honda emblem on the hood. Letting my nephew take the wheel and I'm just a passenger.

Fun ride where you simulate driving along a race track. Lots of cars so the line moves decently. The track is a good length for the wait as well. There's some variety to the car styles. Anyone can drive as the car follows a track loosely. The kids get to mess around and you can sit back and just ride along if you have a younger one.

The fastest drive in Tomorrowland! Drive your own car in Tomorrowland and get your own drivers license as you exit the ride! Fun fun fun!

A must! When you go to Disneyland. The lines can get very long, prepare yourselves lol. It's a very fun ride. Few years back, the fake license was free but now they cost $8. Booooo... but they have to make their money somehow.

My kids absolutely love this ride and I have a great time on it with them. If you can't drive yet, it's so exciting! The cars are rough but I heard this is apart of original Disney. We will always visit for a ride. We never waited more than 10 minutes!

Fun ride to gage what type of driver that your kids will be someday. This is one of those rides at Disneyland that I will jump on occasionally if the lines aren't too long. Autopia is located in Tomorrowland and is one of the original attractions that opened with Disneyland in 1955. It has gone through many changes over the years. Even though you can use the steering wheel to move the car a little bit, a center rail that guides the car along the track does all the work for you. In my teenage years, I used to get in trouble a lot for bumping into the car in front of me. Younger kids need to have an adult with them because they cannot reach the gas pedal. As you approach Autopia, you can smell the gas fumes from the cars. It can be a bit nauseating, but not so bad once you start moving in your car. You get to drive under the Disneyland Monorail track as you ride around in your car. Autopia has been sponsored by companies like Chevron and Honda over the years. There is a 1967-era Corvette Stingray-style Autopia car on display at the Disneyland Hotel if you want to see one of the original cars from the early days.

Meh. The cars are slow and old. It's difficult to push on the gas... I had to push hard. My kid tried and couldn't do it. Could improve if they updated the cars, as well as the scenery.

My husband and I did not particularly enjoy Autopia, but our three-year-old Leo B. vroom-vroom loved it. He got to ride twice, once with each of us, thanks to Disneyland's rider switch service. I believe rider switch was for our benefit, so that we could both watch our younger kid and ride without having to wait in line twice, but Leo was definitely the primary beneficiary. Autopia is one of the older rides in the park (Yelper Sara B. called it, quite accurately, "the Discman of Disneyland"). I have a feeling it's also one of the less popular rides, but it has a slow turnover rate, so the line moves at a crawl. We had to wait like 10 to 15 minutes even doing rider switch and bypassing most of the line. The ride is pretty much just a herky jerky loop around a track. You sit in one of the various old cars that have inexplicably rebranded as Hondas and push a pedal and turn a steering wheel, neither of which is satisfyingly responsive. The car lurches around until you're out of track, and then, goodbye. I guess if you're three and like being in a moving vehicle without a car seat, Autopia is the shit. For adults who drive actual cars, though, there isn't that much appeal. I imagine we'll go back whenever we're at Disneyland, but it will never be my favorite part of the day.

Autopia is one of Disneyland's original rides and it offers a scenic views with billboards of the various locations. The cars are primarily designed for an adult passenger and child driver, two adults may get uncomfortable on this ride. It is available for lightning lane since it does get crowded fairly quickly. You can hear the engine sound as you drive off and really the car is controlled by the center rail you are following. You can control the gas petal and steer and when you let up on the gas the car slows down. You may have seen this type of ride in other amusement parks. They all work the same way. When you get on early when park opens, then you really don't have to worry about bumping other cars since you have no one in front of you. It's a fun and challenging journey. The ride lasts about 5 minutes. The autopia driver's license has been restored and you can get one for $8.00 which is good for at least 1000 years! The Magic Kingdom counterpart: Disneyland clearly wins out with this one. The Tomorrowland speedway appears to be shrinking again. Normally this ride was a decent length but with the addition of Space Mountain, a 2nd Dumbo ride, and more recently Tron, it is nowhere near the size as the original. It is recommended for anyone over 54 inches in height. Autopia may be dated but it is an opportunity to ride something that was around when this park opened in 1955. Another classic Disney experience located in Tomorrowland.

This has been a staple of Tomorrowland for ages, but the gas-powered vehicles can be overpowering for sure! For this reason, not only do I avoid going on the attraction, but I avoid the general area as well. The smell can cause headaches for me personally, so I always forewarn anyone I know who plans to visit. I really feel this attraction is outdated, and hope it changes one day. Heck, make it Avatar-themed!

Why does Autopia still use gas go carts? They're slow, loud and the WHOLE place smells like a motor speedway. The cars run on a guide rail and clangs back and forth for a herky, jerky ride, yecck! Come on Disneyland, it's 2023! Please update this ride!! Electric cars would probably run too fast for kids but whole area STINKS!

Ahhhh Autopia.... Just be aware of the gasoline motor smell.....unfortunately it super slow... and be careful and try not to bump the person I front of you. For me is a no... it's sort of boring. But it's super fun for the kiddos. My son his 15 and he liked it. Autopia is the only existing Tomorrowland attraction dating back to Disneyland Park's opening day in 1955.

The amount of joy you have on this ride is determined solely by the person in front of you - If they're slow, you'll spend the whole agonizingly long ride trying not to bump them. That being said, the gasoline smell is a lot. Although I haven't ridden Autopia since 2007-2008 (back when they gave out physical driver's license cards when you rode it), I do not remember the extremely heavy gasoline smell that now permeates it. The fact that the honey looked at me and was like, "I'm not going to ride this again until they make the cars electric, that gas smell..." And I agree. As nostalgic as the ride may be, it doesn't seem that safe for the Cast Members to be breathing in those fumes for a solid several hours a day. All in all, it's a nice space that could be re-used for something different, or the cars and ride could be upgraded to make the ride safer and more enjoyable. Currently, as it stands - it's a bit of an environmental dud.

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.

Autopia makes driving so fun! I love that you also get a Disneyland drivers liscence after completing the ride.

I've been riding Autopia since the 90s, and as I kid, I did enjoy this ride. I remember when the queue used to have animations of the Chevron car characters in its window displays before Honda became the new sponsor. It boggles my mind to see that Autopia is the only existing Tomorrowland attraction dating back to Disneyland Park's opening day in 1955. Unfortunately, unlike other nostalgic Disneyland rides, this one has lost its charm on me. As a kid, driving a car seemed cool, and this ride provides a kiddie though very jerky simulation of driving through "highways" along a track. As an adult with a driver's license, now I'm like, "Why should I ride Autopia when I can just drive anytime when I want to?" I certainly outgrew this ride, which is very reflective of the era it was built in.

This ride is in Tomorrowland. I never get too old to ride this. Its been around since 1955. Just one year before the signing of the federal Highway act that started the building of 41,000 miles of highways. Even back then, Americans were obsessed with cars and driving the open road. Fast forward. The ride moves along tracks that mimic a scenic freeway with billboards and scenery. In the past, some cars were vintage 1920s through modern time. Now, the cars are all modern sporty looking. Honda became the sponsor in2016, so all the cars are painted in Honda car colors. They are somewhat controlled by you with an accelerator, no brakes. You stop by releasing the accelerator. The steering wheel turns but doesn't control the steering. The staff does warn repeatedly not to bump the car in front of you, stop instead. Oops... as a wee lass, I use to deliberately stall to be bumped and bump other cars. So some folks debate if this ride is a thing of the past. The big smelly elephant in the room is that these little suckers run on petrol. Gas guzzling. Honda 270 cc engines. So not quite a contemporary Tomorrowland feature. Electric conversion would be ideal. I suppose that would be pricey. But hey it's Walt Disney Company, not like they are hurting for money. This is a ride that kiddos can feel like a rock star driving around especially if they can operate that accelerator. Vroom!! Maximum 6.5 mph worth. If the kiddo can't reach the pedal, no worries. There is enough room for another person to ride in the cab with them. Before the pandemic, they had photo booths you can take a photo and create a drivers license. The kiddos love that! Very cute memento. I hope they eventually bring that back to add to the live experience.

Bottom line: this was a legit ride. I think, in my humble opinion, is a much better attraction then Mickey's Speedway in Florida. The drive seems to be longer and while the course may vary depending on which side you get, is a bit more interesting. It's about 2-4 minute drive on the course and the pedal is in the center... should you want to press it for those younger children who can't reach it. The line varies from 10-minutes to 60. It's obviously not as "modern" as other rides but there's something to be said about operating a combustible automobile and the smell of an engine in the air brings on some familiar joy. Well worth the wait!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

This ride is ok... I'd much rather have one like the 'CARS' ride at California Adventure I'm over this one. I suppose it's fun for kids who aren't driving age to get to drive I noticed the cartoons playing inside on the waiting line hypnotized the toddlers It's fine...however, I won't miss it if they take it out

Our Grandsons loved this ride and I honestly cannot tell you how many times we rode it! The Disney Cast Members that work this ride are delightful! As we were leaving the ride, we stopped at the Autopia Winners Circle and purchased a couple of hats. Kent, the Cast Member who assisted us was wonderful. He patiently waited for us to make our selections and made our grandsons feel special. Kent was exceptionally friendly, polite and had a smile on his face the entire time he helped us. Kudos!

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.

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

One of my favorite rides at Disneyland! I love this ride because it really ages well, and with all the updates a few years back, it stays relevant. I would recommend this ride to those of you wanting a shorter line and the ability to sit down for a bit longer during a ride.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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. The cars don't go to fast and you smell a lot of the fumes. Kids like it cause they get to drive, but if your looking for more adrenaline this is not for you. 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.

I love Autopia no matter what anybody says the ride is fun the cars go at a soothing pace it's enjoyable and an extra seat for the other person nice scenery around the park and the list goes on definitely coming back

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.

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.
