The Cars in Discoveryland

[cap'njack.]

Sorry I can't seem to remember the actual name of them, however are they still there and operational?

They haven't been working the last three times I have been and I thought that they may have been replaced. My girlfriend has never been on them and it's the only ride that she hasn't done in both parks (other than new ones built since 2004)

Any news on them would be great!

The Autopia cars haven't been replaced, and as far as I know, they are still operational. They don't start this ride until 11.30am though, and by that time I'm already off being entertained elsewhere in the park or Studios .

We've also never done Autopia, when it has been open and we've been around Discoveryland theres always been a ginormous queue (we don't do queues).

Thanks for that, I've done the ride hundreds of times and it's an old fav of mine however the other half always wants to and it's always closed when we go.

Is there a list of open/closed rides anywhere? Maybe we could plan a trip when it is going to be open

My brits guide says to give this a miss.

I've always looked at in when in Discoveryland, but never bothered as I assumed it's for very little kids.

Is it worth a 23 years old couple queueing for it?

It's a very long queue, ALWAYS!!! We try and go at least once as my DD1 loves it! I'd say give it a miss, it's mostly for younger ones... and no worth waiting imo!

Cool, thanks I'll give it a miss till I have kids I think.

Yep, definately give it a miss if you can drive. But for those under the age of 12, it's a real highpoint of the vacation.

My 5 year old loves Autopia, the Tea Cups, and Orbitron - we never used to bother with these before kids, now they are musts (he also loves Buzz and Star Tours, but they are a must for us too.).

There is a page on the Disneyland website but they haven't got any info on ride closures past mid-June. I think the DLRPmagic site also has a page for closures (in the calendar section???).

However. When we were there last Oct the ride wasn't designated as closed in advance but was for most of our week.

Thanks again. You are very helpful towards me today!!
