57 Disney World Rides and Attractions, Ranked From Best to Worst
"A retro, gas-powered driving experience where guests (especially kids) can get behind the wheel of a small race car; particularly exciting for children not yet old enough to drive, though less thrilling for adults due to traffic-like pacing." - Elizabeth Rhodes

A decent ride through the fumes of nostalgia, but the steering feels more like wrestling a wild boar than driving a car. Fun for a quick lap, especially with kids, but any hopes of a smooth cruise through the future are quickly dashed by the stubborn, clunky controls.

My grown kids still love this attraction. Sometimes cars don’t go as fast as the others and you can expect to get rammed from behind by a 10 year old. The fumes from the car engines is strong. I imagine that they will convert to electric at some point in the future.
You can get great views of Tron, People Mover, and Space Mountain while on this ride.

We visited Tuesday afternoon after Memorial day. We had a Lightning Lane and entered the line around 1p. We waited maybe 12-16 minutes to actually board the ride. The pedals are a bit far for kids, but it’s fun for the grownup to push the pedal and the kids to do the driving. The track is a little dated and there’s not much to look at, but overall, it’s a good classic ride.

5 stars from my daughters' side as they enjoyed a lot. We actually rode three times because they loved to steer the car. The average wait time was approximately 10 minutes. The exhaust fumes causes really strong smell . Although the paddle is a little far for kids to reach but they could still manage to "drive" the car. Some kids do not follow the no hitting rule and you can get bumped from behind. Overall good experience for the kids.

A fun Disney classic with short weight times. Great for any little driver, or any big driver. It’s characteristic petrol scent and winding race track make for a memorable time!

As an annual pass holder and someone who had been coming here for decades, the only reason you would ride this ride if you have kids or nostalgic feelings. Otherwise the steering feels like it’s broke in these cars, it might actually be who knows. The ride is ok it needs a serious update though.

Great themed ride . The cast members are very nice and do a great job of running the ride. The cars are fun and it is worth the wait. ....... my only thing is I have ridden this ride many times and think it's time for and upgrade the fumes can very strong , would be nice if they came up with an alternative ...... overall I love the Speedway.....

It's normally a pretty fun ride I just had a negative experience with it. As well as watching others same frustration, they don't enforce the "no hitting" rule. Some kids go super slow which is fine, it's a kids ride I have patience. However others may not and just repeatedly ram.
I have a spinal fusion so I got back pain. When coming to park, the slowest moving portion this kid full speed into the back of me yelling scoot up. The employee saw it and just shrugged his shoulders.
