Autopia

Track ride

About Autopia

With is redesigned track, cars, and queuing area (that means the place where you wait to go onto the ride :D) autopia seems to be at its best. The ride has gone through several renovations and now is a great ride, though the long lines are a bit of a drag, especially later at night, the new track will take you through jungles, futuristic car parks, and of course, the exit line. The ride is about 3-7 minutes depending on how fast you trek (or ride!) and is still great for kids. While adults may not like it as much, try riding at night, its more fun that you think!! Also check the fast-pass station, it makes the ride more fun because there is never a wait for a fast-pass. -- Last edited by Shelby Grody

A nice ride with great scenery. There is just some tranquility when you are driving in the nicely decorated areas of the track, especially at night, when this outdoor ride is more enjoyable without having to deal with the sun. It's a simple ride in which you ride in a car that goes 6.5 mph and and watch as the monorails soar above you and the gleaming yellow submarines float in the lagoon below you. A nice ride that gets long waits during the day. Waits for this ride can run between 45-60 minutes during the day so I highly recommend using a fastpass. Like I mentioned earlier, try this ride at night. - Manny Barron

Fun for younger ones, but definitely not quite as fun for older kids. There are a lot of stop and go's and you never really get to just go like you want to, but it's still a fair ride for the younger children. - Alexz Krysstensin

Tough to press the pedal and steer but kind of fun. - Sam C

This is the closest you can get to driving you can get if you dont have your license. I always go with a friend, and we have a blast on this ride! We signal to other cars and have a little too much fun. Good times, goof times... - Sarah E

Really fun. Waiting in that line (when it's long) takes forever though! But still, like I said it's really fun and a good one to go on. - Chloe !

Just drive a real car for pete's sake! This is nothing like a driving expirience. You cant even have fun because your so focused on trying not to get jerked around from making one wrong move!! - Bellatrix Lestrange

This ride is a classic. but if you want to ride, get a fastpass. Its a very cool ride but the jokes get old and repetitive - Marcos Raxtun

I was really disappointed for my children. My daughter is 5'4" and fit perfectly. My son however was shorter and couldn't hit the gas pedal and see at the same time. He was looking forward to this but was really disappointed. - T K

Try this next time, just press the gas and don't touch the steering wheel. You will bang the inside of the track alot and still make good time. - Erik Cobbs

Great scenic view and certainly better than the Magic Kingdom counterpart. - Wilfredo Alvelo

When I first rode in 2005 at a height of 56 inches, it was next to impossible to push the gas pedal without bending really low, which results in an obstructed view. It's an enjoyale ride, but younger kids will be disappointed not to be able to drive. - Tombraider Ty

U HAVE 2 BE SMART IN WEN TO GO. WEN DA PARADEz START IS SMART DUR R MANY TYMS IN DA DAY WEN ITz EMPTY AND MANY WEN ITz CROWDED. BUT STILL I LUV DIz RIDE I MEAN ITz JUS NICELY DECORATED WIT DA PROPz AND DA OFF ROAD DING. I JUST WISH IT WENT A LITTLE FASTER. - Anthony Hill
