At Disneyland Resort, there’s a magical charm that makes classic attractions a must-see for every Disney fan. Both Magic Kingdom and Disneyland Park boast timeless rides like the Haunted Mansion, “it’s a small world,” Pirates of the Caribbean, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and Space Mountain. These enchanting experiences have delighted guests for generations!
Yet, some classic Disney rides are unique to each park. For instance, Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress, a beloved piece of Disney history, can only be enjoyed at Magic Kingdom. Disneyland Park has its own iconic gem: Autopia!
Autopia, a classic attraction nestled in Tomorrowland, has been a Disneyland favorite since the park’s opening in 1955.
This nostalgic ride lets you take the wheel of a gasoline-powered car and cruise at your own pace through a scenic track. It’s a delightful throwback to the days when driving was more about the joy of the journey than the destination.
Recently, Autopia made headlines in a rather unexpected way. In a viral TikTok video, a guest’s ride vehicle experienced a minor mishap and ended up derailed. The footage shows the guest stranded while other cars wait behind.
Fortunately, a friendly Cast Member swiftly came to the rescue, ensuring everyone was safe and sound.

In this video, we can see that one Guest’s ride vehicle has derailed and has left her stranded, with Guests waiting behind her as well. Luckily, a Cast Member is already on the scene to help and it doesn’t seem like anyone was hurt during the ‘crash.’
While this incident might have been a surprise, it’s unlikely to spell the end for Autopia. The attraction holds a special place in Disneyland’s heart, and its vintage charm continues to capture the imagination of guests young and old. Whether it’s cruising along the track or simply soaking in the classic vibes, Autopia remains a treasured part of Disneyland’s Tomorrowland.
So next time you’re at Disneyland Park, make sure to take a spin on Autopia and experience a slice of Disney history that’s truly timeless!
