I haven't been on this since I was a kid but I love people watching and it always looks like everyone is having a great time. What a thrill for a child to get behind the wheel of a car that's just the right size.

The first attraction I was trained on as a new hire. Will always hold a special place in my memory, jumping those cars and all. Fun attraction for the kids.

Get a fastpass or it's gridlock ahead...strap into either "Dusty", "Suzy" or "Sparky" and hit the road (and off-road)...don't forget to stop by the "Nut House" and don't bump the car in front of you(alright, go ahead)...fun ride for the licensed and unlicensed.

The line is normally always long, just for a drive around.... good for small kids!

It's a great way for kids who don't have licenses to drive without getting in trouble.

Our boys, 4 and 7, love this ride.

this is, without a doubt, th best ride to ride at night!

User ID: darcy-becker   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (8/27/2005)
Not much fun for adults but my 8 year old niece loved it, especially the driver's licence. The big board was amusing.

User ID: Originator   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (5/22/2005)
My favorite ride, maybe because I love driving.

User ID: SillySully   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (4/17/2005)
This ride makes everyone happy and is great for the whole family.

User ID: boarder_babe92   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (3/13/2005)
kinda boring

User ID: MrsNavarro   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (3/8/2005)
If a long line and you have no children, You can PASS THIS UP. It is not worth the horrible wait, mostly in the hot sun.

User ID: disneymomsons   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (1/5/2005)
This is just a fun ride...... Disneyland allows you to be a kid again..... no matter how old you are. That's the MAGIC !!!

User ID: The_Princess_Ariel   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (10/2/2004)
A must ride attraction for all ages! I use to always ride this when I was a kid with my mom and dad (got to ride at least twice;one with each) Since then It's gotten BIGGER and better. I like how it's a longer ride now. Be sure to get FAST PASS though, or you'll wait in line FOREVER!

This attraction is much better since it was rennovated and it is also a good place to go to kill time too it is an excellent ride

User ID: Bonitajackie   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (5/30/2003)
I like to drive sparky and sally!!!!!!!!!



User ID: MAGNUM   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (5/5/2003)
The kids really love this but it seems a little to much like work to me, like driving a truck with a flat tire.

User ID: disneygirl77   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (4/1/2003)
Really fun, especially the off road part and I kept rear-ending my husband!! Lots of fun even for us "bigger" kids!

User ID: dizneegrrl   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (1/20/2003)
šoš I love this ride!! Never would I have guessed it to be so fun. Love the driver's liscence. I never leave DL w/out going on this. It's great. šoš

User ID: anonymous   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (10/9/2002)
This ride is surprisingly good. It's fun how you get a free souvenir {the driver's license} after the ride. The ride itself is also enjoyable, to the point where I am almost amazed.

User ID: johnmuirburbank   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (6/19/2002)
GET A FASTPASS! Line is never shorter than 50 minutes!

User ID: disneya   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (6/5/2002)
It's a cool ride, where you can drive under aged!

User ID: goldenstate5   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (6/2/2002)
Great Update


User ID: Pixie18   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (6/1/2002)
You get to go off-roading for bit what could be better;).

User ID: Brer Douga   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (4/10/2002)
I thoroughly enjoyed Autopia because it was an attraction that has alot of extra detail Plus the cars were really well done too I hope this ride never leaves!!

User ID: moredisneythanyou   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (4/4/2002)
always a favorite, but i never seem to get the highway, I WANT THE HIGHWAY! well maybe this sunday

User ID: ilovemickey   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (3/17/2001)
I love the new makeover!


User ID: brer bear   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (3/3/2001)
Always fun! The new version is alot better!

User ID: DisneylandFreak   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (1/5/2001)
Cool but they could put more effects into it.

User ID: dizfan18   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (12/18/2000)
This ride could be better, however
i did enjoy going on Autopia. I liked the original one
though.

User ID: Statue   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (11/25/2000)
The off-road part of the ride is nice surprise. Guests watching the cars go by can be hit by water.

User ID: briangrapes   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (11/20/2000)
I really thought this ride would be better, but it was still fantastic.

User ID: chernabog78   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (11/11/2000)
I like the new addition

User ID: cosette13   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (9/29/2000)
Cute ride, fun with kids. Try and load to the left for the 'off road' version. Adults with long legs will be sore about 3 mins into the ride!

User ID: DsnyFan4Eva   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (9/27/2000)
=( I didn't get to go on this ride yet but it looked real good and well done! People told me the que was good!

User ID: BrigmanMT   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (9/20/2000)
Fun for youngins.

User ID: JuiceMonkey   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (9/4/2000)
A bit too long but somewhat fun after the remodeling. Not worth a wait longer than 15 minutes.

User ID: Kerrie   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (8/31/2000)
It was fun. I liked the "off-road" part, and also I got a kick out of the large video screen with older attractions of Tomorrowland on it...I can't remember what it was called though...

User ID: akwolf   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (8/17/2000)
The update is a definite improvement! Well worth it!

User ID: paulmanke   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (8/8/2000)
Still the good old-fashioned favorite though the ride IS twice as long!They combined the 2 seperate, old autopias into just one. Not the big deal on the track everyone was hyping up. No, the track doesn't change each time you go on it...Sorry folks. Although they were pretty considerate to us for the video "imaginations" for your wait in line. Pretty clever...and that does vary as you wait. Don't forget $5 for your Drivers License Photo!

User ID: MojoHobo   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (8/7/2000)
I honestly don't see what all the big deal was about. Besides the cute off-road section, cars and talking chevron cars it is the same.

User ID: jenkins1921   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (8/3/2000)
Got to love it!!!!


User ID: rrdl2k   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (7/9/2000)
The rehab was wonderful! Love the new cars, the experience is fabulous!

User ID: Nine Old Men   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (6/29/2000)
The new queue, the new cars, and the new offroad section are great! Chevron and Disney did a great job on updating this classic attraction!!!!!

User ID: tm35   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (6/25/2000)
I found the ride enjoyable. Loved the off-road section, just wish it was longer... and the only "grid-lock" you get is when you're trying to get off ;-)

User ID: Big Thunder   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (6/24/2000)
even though this is not the most futuristist attraction, as simple as it is, Autopia has been a childhood favorite of mine and is currently my kids' favorite, cute fun, simple

User ID: CHIEB2812   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (6/21/2000)
fab!im 16 and ive been to d-land 18 times weeks at a time, we never miss this ride!

User ID: Futurist   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 1 (6/19/2000)
I get into a car every day of my life. And getting into a gas go-kart is not my idea of Disneyland fun. Hopefully the folks at Chevron funded the upgrade enough so there's some fun show elements to entertain us.

User ID: ClarkusMlarkus   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (5/28/2000)
this is the coolest cus' i've always been able to drive...he he

User ID: tallpkb   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (5/19/2000)
Can't wait to see it, and re-live my childhood memories of Autopia~updated!

User ID: pluto4   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (5/14/2000)
Word this cruise through Richfield rules to bad they had to get rid of those stylin rides! Yes the smell of fuel on a warm summer nights takes me back!

User ID: QDEMANN   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (5/2/2000)
It's a good kids ride

User ID: Mr Disney   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (4/20/2000)
Yes, an enjoyable ride. They better clean up those rust stains on that poeple mover track or whatever the heck that new thing is. I can't imagine what they are thinking.

User ID: jdog49   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (3/17/2000)
good to let a little anger out on the car in front of you... just kidding. it's fun.

User ID: RCCRUISER   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (3/15/2000)
When I was 5, it's what rock'd my world. It's now my sons favorite.

Being Remodeled

User ID: damon63   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 1 (1/16/2000)
Looking forward to the re-hab, the previous version(s) have been imitated at just about every theme park since Disneyland opened.

User ID: disneyfreak4099   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (1/16/2000)
It's O.K.

User ID: Big Al   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (1/10/2000)
I guess it's not as exciting when you have a license. The stench of the gas stinks though. That's, in my opinion, the biggest problem. We'll just have to wait and see the new Autopia. Hopefully, it won't be a giant Chevron commercial.

User ID: DL-2000   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (1/9/2000)
A real fun ride. I would always insist that my sister go ahead of me in line. ;)

User ID: glen   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (1/8/2000)
Will be a have to experience attraction when it reopens with new themeing, track and vehicles...

User ID: KAT   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (1/8/2000)
Looking forward to seeing the NEW Autopia when the ride reopens.

User ID: TPA_RickWest   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (1/4/2000)
Well, considering the attraction is going through a massive rehab, I'll plead the 5th here. However, the OLD Autopia was a Disneyland Classic and of course, I NEVER rammed the car in front of me! (nudge nudge, wink wink) Time will tell if the new Autopia is as much fun as the first!
