At least it’s not a roller coaster, right Donnie?

True.
But on a serious note. This attraction should have been destroyed 20-30 years ago. What's all this nonsense about 'right of passage' ? No kids today want to go on a petrol car, with limited manouvering, around a poorly themed track.

Do you have kids? I know plenty of kids who love the Speedway. It's still one of my daughter's favorites.

I bet she would like it even more if it were expanded with sleek electric vehicles and lots of set dressing and special effects....and a super-cool night lighting program....
and no one will miss the petrol smell or noise.....
The potential for this to be something great is there....and ignored....

My kids still love it. Never once said, “I can’t believe they are still using petrol, Dad!“

Same here but they should have partnered and switched these cars out along with theming the attraction better. Your telling me you cant have Disney characters along the way making it even more fun

Maybe but she loves it the way it is
The lack of geothermal ecological cognizance of a 12 year old is just a sign of bad parenting!! I hope you're remedying this with multiple trips through Journey of Water.

A Journey of Waterboarding seems to be in order.

If I want my children to learn science, I pull out the Old Testament, thank you very much.

Kids are not a gage for quality. Kids will queue up for 'barnstormer' coaster too, or any other nonsense you put infront of them.
Let's face it - the reality is this attraction is only there because it's budgetry. No one feels bothered to do anything about it, update it, or just mothball it. It was an attraction built in 1971, that should have been moth balled around 1972.
Oh but the 'nostalga' brigrade' will be out in force. Oh it's our youth, etc Utter nonsense. These lot stop progress.

I don't mind it being there if it were just up to the old Disney standards...the Hong Kong version had a lot of unusual landscaping and a few set pieces...the California version which has undergone changes over the years has a few set pieces and had an overhaul a long while back....the only overhaul ours has gotten was to make the track shorter... If they are going to keep it, make it fit in with Tomorrowland the way California did... More futuristic, more setting...I remember back in the 70s they had sound effects that I think are long gone... I would even be happy with a Sugar Rush re-do...with new cars, and a complete thematic package....
