Its nothing like Tomorrowland Speedway/Autopia. Nothing.
Did you know, however, that one time there were 3 versions of Autopia at Disneyland at once.

As I've said: Will we get what they depict?
Perhaps two waterfalls will get cut down to one?
And just how large will they be anyway?
How large will that bit of water we splash through turn out to be?
I'd imagine ultimately we go over a small bridge with perhaps a splash effect which hopefully remains on.
In any event, none of it will be of the scale of the actual waterway that they are removing.
I hate to be this way, because I used to not be this way.
It's Disney of recent years who have made me this way.

They need to get rid of Frontierland and people love Disney•Pixar CARS©

It's also incongruent with the rest of Frontierland, which people have convinced themselves means rocks and trees, so it all fits, even if they're shaped like car parts and traversed by anthropomorphic cars.

It’s nothing like Autopia… because the cars have faces? It seems to be an outdoor car ride with very limited AAs. What differentiates it decisively from Autopia?

They likely will get rid of the first. But acknowledging that now begs the question of why they’re doing what they’re about to do to Frontierland / Liberty Square, and they’d rather not address that to the board, shareholders, or the fan community.

They just made it overwhelmingly more difficult to replace the first with anything meaningful thanks to the idiotic placement of Tron.

Why do they need to get rid of Frontierland?

It's pretty clear... it's underutilized.

It's wild that Tomorrowland, as is, is deemed a lesser priority than Frontierland.
SGE sits empty, SM and CoP need major refurbs, the speedway continues to limp along, they never finished the makeover they started before TRON opened...

Autopia you, you know, drive the cars yourself? Thats the draw. Cars land and this attraction will have a story unfolding around you. Autopia/Speedway theres no story, no anything except you driving the car and inhaling fumes.
Its like saying Test Track and Tomorrowland Speedway are the same. Or all rollercoasters are the same.

Over the years we have had so many comments of wanting each of the parks around the world to be unique.
People here don’t actually want unique parks. They want the same park but with the best version of any particular ride.
Seeing as how the MK more often than not has one of the worst versions of many attractions I welcome a change in direction.

The MK Autopia is prime real estate, probably for something for Fantasyland because Disney is allergic to fixing Tomorrowland.
It'd be nice to keep the rivers but at this point I've given up any hope of Frontierland/Liberty Square keeping a nice, open, scenic waterfront

You know how high a walkway would have to be to get the Liberty Belle under it?

I mean, come on. You can't compare Tomorrowland Speedway to this attraction. Everything thing is different about it outside of the fact that its a car. The Speedway will be on the chopping block soon anyway, and for that I am grateful.

Just thought of something. While it’s clear once this is completed, Tomorrowland Speedway will be the second best cars attraction in the park. And while it may feel duplicative, RSR has a 40”, whereas 32” is the requirement for Tomorrowland Speedway. That’s not a huge difference, but cars would have a more limited presumptive guest range
