Timeless favorite. Who cares if the theming doesn't match Tomorrowland well? Young kids love it. Would like to see refurbished cars (steering on mine was so loose I couldn't stop bumping the guide rail) with quieter engines (pit/queue is very noisy place) and better lighting at night; maybe headlights on cars?

Really fun to go with friends or family. The licensed drivers seem to have the hardest time going straight!

Why no themeing? This ride would be sweet with thememing. Instead...nothing. Has no right being in tomorrowland. Why not make old fashioned cars on a track and put them on main street USA. OR get rid of it and save the gas money.

Okay my 7 year old sister loved it.

I rated this a 1.

There are these kinds of rides at every park and there's nothing particularly different about this than other places. It's basically slow as heck go-carts that don't let you really drive other than about a foot worth of drift between your wheels and the track.

It's fun for kids who are oo young for go-carts I guess but in terms of what Disney has to offer at the park it's one of the worst - especially considering the lines this thing gets!

Ahhh, the memories. We have 3 generations of happy family pics taken on the ride.

The lies are long, the stank is horrible, and you always get some moron behind u who thinks its funny to rear end you at top speed, a whole whopping 5 miles per hour, but still.. damn!!

Entertaining ride through the outskirts of tomorrowland with the thrill of being an Indy driver.

I love it, it makes me feel like I'm Jeff Gordon!

This is the attraction I had the pleasure of working at when I was employed at Disney. So basically for me, I'm finished with it. Nothing wrong, I just go enough of it while I worked there. Kids love it and parents come off of it with headaches. Always made me laugh while I worked there!

Not bad. It's no Autopia but kids love to drive the cars!

User ID: Iluvwaltdis   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 1 (10/8/2003)
too slow ,long lines

User ID: BlazesOfFire   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 1 (9/8/2003)
Line is always too long for a ride thats too boring.

User ID: wdwfanva   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (9/8/2003)
Needs to be ypdated badly!!!!!

User ID: MickeyManiac   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 1 (7/1/2003)
I hate to say anything bad about Disney World but this ride is ridiculous. You go really slow, you bump back and forth on the track, and you waste a good hour waiting to get on it.

User ID: miamimickey72   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 1 (5/30/2003)
This one must go...old and just needs to be replaced with something new.

User ID: GCRockerGrl   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (5/11/2003)
you know young children will HAVE to go on this. just be prepared, they have to be a certain height to drive. we waited on line for 1.5 hrs to go on this ride only to find out that my sis (the only one who actually wanted to go on the ride) was too small to drive. she cried the whole time and refused to get on the ride. 1.5 hrs down the drain! also, the gas pedal is sooo far away. i couldnt reach it until i was about 14!!

User ID: Disney Fan 62   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (3/1/2003)
If you have small children a wait in the GIGANTIC line is a must. Otherwise avoid it:)

User ID: Mickeygal123   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 1 (2/25/2003)
SLOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!
I thought this ride stunk, and i never even bother anymore to wait on the line.(if you go on the transit authority, you will see how slow it is)

User ID: leetazhand   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 1 (1/6/2003)
I never went on it at all while we were there. Should remove the attraction and replace it with something better.

User ID: dreamscometrue   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (12/31/2002)
not worth waiting in line for. skip it unless you have a child under 6 who insists on riding.

User ID: DDMAN26   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 1 (10/22/2002)
Just a bad ride.

User ID: karina12345   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 1 (10/13/2002)
so lame...if a car is slow in front of u...u'll nave to stik behind it jus as slow...its one rail....i get pissed off aloit at this ride....kinda kills the spirit of magic...truthfully!!!

User ID: Darth Basically   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (7/16/2002)
I really like Tomorrowland, but this is just lame. The whole area seems to be suffering from chipped paint syndrome, and looks older than it actually is. Space Mountain should have been redone for the re-do fo this land, as should this, which I never ride because of the huge lines. Another ride that needs help is Buzz Lightyear: The guns don't work good, the cardboard stuff is all cardboard(!), and it's really trashed on the inside. Finally, Tomorrowland Transit Authority rocks!

A little out of place in Tomorrowland but is still a very fun ride to enjoy with the kids. Love the grandstand and sound effects.

User ID: TimC   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (5/12/2002)
Ok. Trying to keep the car off the rails is the best part. Not worth a long wait and a lot more fun if you get a decent car.

I am 70 and these young wipersnapers just don't understand the joy of Indy Speedway.

User ID: shawnp0001   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (3/19/2002)
This is probably a cool ride for kids...for anyone over 16, it's a long wait for a rather boring ride.

User ID: mtdagon   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 1 (3/25/2001)
needs a serious update-way too boring and uncontrolable -wait takes forever

User ID: ninafeliz1   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 1 (3/11/2001)
Not worthy of being in WDW. The lines are horrendous, and there's nothing that makes this stand out over speedway rides at any other amusement park. Kids might enjoy it, though.

User ID: u k fan   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (3/9/2001)
It's great fun for kids and is a nice way to be interactive with an attraction - half of the fun is trying not to bump the people in front when you stop!

User ID: nelsonfran18   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (3/9/2001)
It's a great slow pace ride which you can see more of whats around WDW than if you were just walking...

User ID: ray   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (3/9/2001)
the best place to watch the fireworks from

Waste of space! Never been on it, and never will.

User ID: ddarezzo   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (1/8/2001)
My 4 and 7 year old love it, and I get a chance to let them drive the car. Lots of smiles for the kids!

User ID: danheaton   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (1/8/2001)
This ride was fine when I was six, but it needs to be revamped. They need to possibly make the cars faster. It's okay, but a little dull.

User ID: sjdimon   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (7/15/2000)
A good ride for the young'uns....though it looks like DL has leapfrogged WDW once again. While I still think that WDW has the superious TLand (overall) some parts (SM, Star Tours, and Autopia) are better at DL.

User ID: Jim in Pasadena CA   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (7/15/2000)
What does the Indy 500 have to do with Tomorrowland anyway? The new DL is far superior to this.

Gas Go-Karts!? Not futuristic!

User ID: FCD01757   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (5/21/2000)
The sound effects are nice just wish they left Petty's car there to honor him.

User ID: Fortune Red   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 1 (5/14/2000)
The biggest waste of space in the Magic Kingdom.

User ID: ToonKirby   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 1 (5/14/2000)
Even when I was a kid, I never really saw the allure of this ride. Would like it more if they themed it in some way, like maybe to ToonTown since it's right there. That would definately improve it.

User ID: hosewater   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (5/14/2000)
A fun ride to drive around, but the wait is usually horendous.

User ID: CHIEB2812   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (5/7/2000)
TOO SLOW

User ID: TP2000   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 1 (4/8/2000)
I found this to be a slightly less impressive version of Disneyland's Autopia. The WDW scenery visible from the highways is pretty bland. The "Indy 500" themed overlay recently installed sounds a bit bizarre and fairly simplistic, although I have not seen it myself. Whatever the theme, kids 6 to 12 will probably always love this ride.

User ID: psboy713   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (4/8/2000)
Needs a update!
Could be like disneyland?

User ID: Jeremiah   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (2/5/2000)
Fun and long....the only real problem with the ride is the queue is almost as long as the ride at times. Great way to see that area of the park.

User ID: damon63   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 1 (1/17/2000)
There's nothing futuristic about this sleeping pill. Someone here better talk to Imagineering about updating this relic from the past.

User ID: TPA_RickWest   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (1/5/2000)
Like the original Autopia at Disneyland, this is always a crowd pleaser - and the line usually proves that! Nice if you have time, and certainly always fun NOT to ram the car ahead of you (yeah, right)!
