Iconic Disneyland Attraction Gets Major Update
Disneyland officials announced plans to change an attraction that is as old as the park itself.
ORANGE COUNTY, CA — A big change is coming to one of Disneyland's most iconic rides.
The gas-powered attraction Autopia, located in Disneyland's Tomorrowland, will soon run on all-electric cars, park officials announced.
The Anaheim theme park has an agreement with the California Air Resources Board to retire the ride's gas-powered engines by 2027, Disneyland officials said.
