Race (that term is used very loosely) down Tomorrowland Speedway in your very own pint sized race car designed to look like a futuristic INDY car.

HEIGHT REQUIREMENT NOTE: Guests who are at least 54 inches tall can strap in and drive their own gas-powered race car! Guests under 54 inches but are taller than 32 inches can ride along as a passenger.

Still a decent ride no matter your age. 6/10 - Christopher Sturniolo

Yeah, well, for kids this might be the first time to steer a car themselves. Thus, they might get excited. Everybody else might avoid this, it offers no theming (except for the race atmosphere), the cars are really slow, even slower when the one in front of you doesn't go at "full speed". Also slow moving are the lines, which can get rather long pretty often. - Chris W.

A lot better than I expected. Nice atmosphere. - Rob Pastor

It's pretty bad since EVERYONE IS A SLOW ASS!!! 5/10 - Eric Cartman

Although the ride is okay, I hate waiting 30 Minutes. The carts are stuck on a rail so it's not that realistic - Brendan Harrison

Not fun anymore - Arianna Griffel

Loved this when I was a kid. Not so much now. Not worth the wait. Restricted on what you can do with the cars and when you do have a bit of space in front, your wheels bash into the rail on the floor. If it was actually a race type ride, and you have more freedom, it would be fun. Otherwise its the only go kart I have more fun in if I sit on the passenger side. - James McGee

Let me tell you (disney people who may read this) how this ride could be improved: 1.Install side-view mirrors and spoilers on the cars to make them look cooler. 2.Put some effort into the landscaping (a waterfall or fountain and a few mickey statues would be nice to look at while we drive). 3.Open up 2 of the 4 lanes for people aged 12 and up to drive their own cars off the rails. 4.GET FASTER CARS! Also, if this ride is going to be re-furbished, please re-design the track so that it's like the track at Hong Kong or Anaheim (4 different routes with bridges that go over water and a nice air conditioned waiting area). - jack Quest

It has been living on borrowed time and good-will for too long. Time to go. - Man-Eating Sharks

I lol'd on the TTA that it says you can go in the "Fast Lane". Hehe very slow but good for kids! 4/10 - D H

The cars are slow and have a guide in the middle in your lane to prevent your car from leaving the lane like on a normal go-cart track. But because of this guide even young children can steer and you wont have to worry about cutting off other drivers. The theme is outdated and some of the lanes clog up if there is a bad driver ahead. Not worth a long wait in line. 5.5/10 from an adult perspective, but a 9/10 from the eyes of a 6 year old who just got to drive a car by "himself" :) - Bob Liebe

I think the phrase "I could have farted it harder" was made for this ride. Slow and boring. Just a big traffic jam. - Dan Jones

ehhh... Autotopia in Disneyland is a LOT better than this, but that says practically nothing. I'd give it a "Good." - Reggie Templeton

Perhaps retheming this ride to the tune of Cars would improve upon it's likability. - Brandie S
