To be honest, I hope that the whole speedway gets bulldozed at some point for more innovative things.

I'd much rather see them keep it, but upgrade it. Ditch the fuel and modernize the cars.
The downside is that it will still be an odd fit in Tomorrowland. But I'd hate to see it go.
I never got to experience it at WDW with my parents, but back in Ohio, Geauga Lake and Cedar Point both had an antique car attraction that I loved! Being able to get behind the wheel of one of those with my mom or dad was priceless.

My kids have lost that "pixie-dust" respect for it and have become a wee bit crazy.

That antique car attraction looks much better than the speedway does and that's at a local park. While they could always retheme it to fit the land, the real reason it doesn't work is that the cars are on rails and are super slow. The atmosphere of the area aside, you're average go karts are more fun than the speedway.

Your son's facial expression is pretty similar to the one I made after seeing all the mold caked on all the ride's walls, ceilings and surfaces.

The Speedway is on some of the most valuable real estate on property. It should be removed entirely with a new Cars based speedway built at DHS. It was a missed opportunity in DCA to not do something similar integrated with the Cadillac Mountain Range.

Yeah, it would've opened up so much new land at DL.

I am more afraid they would remove Speedway and turn it into just a green space.

Still would be better than what's there now I think. Besides, one step would be out of the way when they actually decide to build something. Think 20,000 Leagues being removed many years before the FLE.

My armchair imagineering imagines a revamp with electric cars, being sponsored by Tesla. Though, the sponsor may not be possible with Chevy sponsoring test track. Well, I guess Chevy could also sponsor a new speedway.........

This isn't Epcot we're talking about... you can't hold conventions on the old Speedway track.

Never said you could. But you could build another meet and greet and the rest green space instead of a major attraction.

Disney would never close an attraction in or near Fantasyland and then not replace it for 20 years... oh wait.

Good deal, did they fix/enhance the guns?

It had been a while since my last visit, but I don't feel the guns have been upgraded. Having now tried the Men in Black ride for the first time, I realize how nice it was to have a clear indicator on the gun when you score a hit instead of having to note if your score has changed.
