Two weeks ago, reports surfaced that Autopia at the Disneyland would move away from their gas-powered vehicles. Now, we know the route the park is taking moving forward.
Disneyland spokesperson Jessica Good revealed to the La Times that the classic attraction is going “fully electric”, which is of course, perfect for the land of Tomorrow. “will no longer be using the current engines within the next 30 months,” Good said. She reaffirmed that the vehicles will not be hybrid in any capacity.
The electrification process is slated for completion by fall 2026. Autopia will continue to operate without a specified closing date, but the transition may occur gradually. Good emphasized that the process of reimagining an attraction requires time, hence there is currently no set reopening date.
The Disneyland Autopia, in one form or another, is one of the few current attractions that opened with the park on July 17, 1955. When it opened, it represented the future of what would become America’s multilane limited-access highways, which were still being developed. The future now is electric and Disney is following suit.
