Kinda weird seeing all these parked cars!
A couple of weeks ago, Jollyroger5 and I asked a CM about possible future plans for Autopia. He said that a contract was just signed with Honda to install new motors, since the current ones are about 14 years old. Perhaps this is why it's closed? - JRDrummer_CM

Does that mean the mandatory leg cramps will no longer be part of this attraction? - LittleAprilShowers 471.0 #257 6:09PM
I wonder if this will quiet rumors of autopia being removed from the park. - aidensmama 336.4 #445 6:11PM
I wonder if this will quiet Autopia?? or if they'll add "car sounds"... - Lola027 444.9 #277 6:14PM
@lola027 There was no info given on whether or not they are being replaced with gasoline or electric motors. @aidensmama Autopia's time will come, but with this new contract with Honda, don't hold your breath.... On second thought, maybe you should hold your breath because those fumes are terrible. X_X - JRDrummer_CM 789.4 #117 6:16PM
Seems like a longer refurb would need to take place to change out the cars/engines - unless they just brought in all new cars... I'm very interested in seeing where they take this attraction - I know it feels very "yesteryear" sometimes, but I think there is great potential to maintain the nostalgia while upgrading the technology to keep with the times. - Lola027 444.9 #277 6:22PM
I could not agree more, lola. If it's opening back up tomorrow, there's no way they could replace all of the engines within that window. Maybe soon though. - JRDrummer_CM 789.4 #117 6:44PM
I wonder if they will add a loop and hybrid cars? - Armenda

and mermaids! - ShariRenee 1505.4 #51 12:27PM
oh! How could I forget the mermaids! That would be the BEST part! - Armenda 992.5 #89 12:31PM
They're adding mermaid hood ornaments. - shadowgamer 1954.3 #37 5:52PM
And twelve places to experience Goat effects! - Belleslibrary 227.9 #1272 9:27PM
If they go Hybrid, then the CM's who work there will loose their extra $0.20 cents an hour for hazardous environment from the exhaust. - splashphotoCM 880.9 #101 1:57PM
Woooo goat effect at 7 mph! - Waites4DodgerEars 659.1 #158 2:05PM
I hope they swap out the engines to something cleaner. I have problems breathing when anywhere near those cars! I'd love to see something electric or at least a hybrid to keep the air as fresh as possible! Then the race would be so on! - RobinandSteve

Glad we got our Autopia fix in last weekend. Our son would be crushed! He got to ride RSR for the first time last weekend (his favorite movie) and he STILL loves Autopia more!! - DaisyDork

I agree, I think they could put in electric motors similar to golf carts and use them. I think it would be a great upgrade to the attraction. - MikeyMouse

I wonder how much fuel is used a day to run this ride? - Kontorted

Yes, it was in Summer of 2000 that the current Autopia reopened after a rather complex refurbishment which combined both of the Autopia attractions into one large one. With Honda now sponsoring the Autopia, for those who have heard and posted rumors of the Autopia leaving are just that. - splashphotoCM

I say propane. Charging electric cars is very expensive and defeat the purpose of saving energy. - splashphotoCM
