Disneyland Autopia decides to give up gas cars

It was nice 69 years for Disneyland automotive attraction Autopia, but finally receives an upgrade worthy of its neighbors. Located within the futuristic Tomorrowland district round the corner Space Mountain AND Celebrity toursSince its debut in 1955, the ride has used gas-powered cars. However, now Disney has announced that it can soon transition to electric cars.

“Since opening at Disneyland Park in 1955. Autopia remains a favorite among young children who have the opportunity to drive for the first time,” said Disneyland spokeswoman Jessica Good. Los Angeles Times. “As the industry moves toward alternative fuel sources, we have developed a roadmap to electrify this attraction and are evaluating technology that will enable us to transition away from gas engines over the next few years.”

This statement, in fact, doesn’t provide any specific timeline or answer the query of whether the brand new vehicles will probably be fully electric or hybrid, but you may have to start somewhere.

Like other parts of Disneyland refurbished, improved or removedIt at all times seemed a bit strange to me Autopia has remained unchanged. Not only due to the smell of gasoline and exhaust fumes hanging over the world, or since it is a seemingly outdated technology surrounded by a futuristic themed land. This is especially since it takes up a lot real estate that it could potentially be used for nearly the rest. Fans are speculating on a regular basis about how Disneyland might change with the removal Autopia is sort of at all times a part of the equation.

And yet, outdated as it might be, Autopia allows kids of all ages to do something they can not really do almost anywhere else on the planet: drive a automotive. Which is sort of unique. What’s much more special is that the ride will finally stop polluting the environment.
