Junior Autopia Opens
July 23, 1956
Today
in Disneyland History the Junior Autopia openend on July 23, 1956. This fun and
popular attraction in Fantasyland
at Disneyland allowed guests
to drive small cars on a guide-railed track.
Back then, the Fantasyland Autopia was originally the Junior Autopia. It
was expanded and renamed to Fantasyland Autopia in 1959, by which time there
were three separate Autopia attractions operating at the same time, the other
two being Tomorrowland Autopia
and Midget Autopia.
From
1991 -1992 the Fantasyland
Autopia was known as Rescue
Rangers Raceway
as part of the Disney
Afternoon Avenue promotion.
In
1999 the Fantasyland Autopia and Tomorrowland Autopia closed. On June 29, 2000
an all-new Autopia opened,
combining the Fantasyland and Tomorrowland circuits into one attraction. Both
tracks are now boarded at the same station in Tomorrowland.
