Autopia car derailed June 4, 2025

[cruisehopeful]

I can't imagine for the life of me, how this happened. Fox11 Los Angeles is reporting that an Autopia car drove off the track an into the grass. I saw a video of people being evacuated from the ride. I keep thinking it must be fake. How is it even possible?

I have no idea how this could be accomplished. An intentional plan? Not sure how you would do it but thanks to this person, that's probably the end of Autopia.

Must not be too serious. Ive just checked the App. Its currently 8.30am and Autopia has a 5 minute wait.

Dont get my hopes up.

I actually saw this happen about 15 years ago at WDW. I was waiting to take a picture of my husband & daughter going by in their car when I saw one fly off the track…

"Nothing can stop us now!"

But seriously, I hope no one was hurt!

 

[Pluto468]

Wow, I didn't even know that was possible. I hope everyone was ok!

Looks like someone's dream came true today. When we were kids, my cousin and I occasionally wished/tried to drive the car off track.

If only this could be the end of this smelly worthless attraction...either put in the electric cars or use this valuable real estate for something else. I have never understood the appeal of this attraction....even my son didnt care for it when he was young. He'd much rather ride a coaster!

You know, I get that it might have been a big deal in the beginning but we're soon to be 70 years past the time...they are not even vintage cars so there's nothing nostalgic about it...just NOISE NOISE NOISE and pollution to breathe!

THIS IS A CORE MEMEORY(and they’re all blue… That’s a little Inside Out humor) is the intense smell that comes from this ride. I can remember as a kid it being overwhelming and as an adult, I have to hype myself up. To the point that I will actually avoid it. I tried to tell myself it’s because I have asthma, but it’s not….I just can’t. I don’t even enjoy it and and I would sit on the old school OG submarine doing back to back rides full of screaming kids before doing a walk on to Autopia.

I understand the appeal and I understand it’s a classic. But still — It’s a no for me dawg.

The cars are supposed to be electric by 2026. https://www.motortrend.com/news/disney-disneyland-autopia-ride-electric-vehicle-conversion

I feel the same way. It was a popular amusement park attraction at the time it opened in DL, but DL is one of the few that still operates it. That said, I’ve read that a large % of people who grew up in SoCal love the ride as it was their first time behind the wheel of a car.

I’m sure before Disney’s 100tn it’ll be gone… one day they’ll demolish CoP building, Autopia, Submarine Voyage and what’s left of Watertopia and replace it with something decent.

Yeah, I say keep it, but it really needs to go electric.

It’s scheduled to go electric, unless the government steps in and sues LOL.

I absolutely love autopia and they better not ever touch it!!
I can tell you that last weekend my 6yo was smashing that car into the rails so hard that we almost came off, so I can totally see how this happened.

It happened to my niece and I about 20 years ago. She was 4 and driving crazy, we hit a muddy puddle of water and next thing I knew we were over the track and in a bush. It was crazy!
