According to independent theme park news blog MiceChat, Disneyland must replace the attraction’s gas-powered mini cars by Feb. 1 with a clean-vehicle alternative or shut it down completely.

Autopia sucked ever since they put the little track things in so you’re not even driving a car, you’re just giving gas or brakes to a train/roller coaster cart, anyway. I can’t quite remember the layout of the park but aren’t the bumper cars nearby? Just extend the bumpercar area into the Autopia track so it’s massive as fuck. Or even combine them so you can pretend to be on one of those hotwheels tracks that shoots the cars into a single intersection for maximum carnage. 😃
I’m pretty sure autopia was always on a track. At least in my lifetime.
I mean, it was on a track in the sense that there was a lane that kept you inside the ride area; but the lane was freely traversible (as well as not being wide enough to pass another car) and you had to steer to avoid hitting the sides and such like a go kart track. But at some point they put the cars onto an actual guided track that keeps you in the center and you could just not even have hands on the wheel to complete the whole thing.
I just looked up some of the pictures. Would have been super cool.
