Photos/Video: Disneyland's Autopia Closes After Car Derails
The attraction derailed during the "off-road" section near Matterhorn.
The popular Autopia attraction at Disneyland experienced a minor accident earlier today when one of the gas-power cars derailed from the track.
What’s Happening:
- Earlier today, Disneyland’s Autopia experienced an extended closure after one of the ride’s vehicles derailed.
- The attraction, which gives guests of all ages the thrill of driving a car, runs along a guide rail to prevent the cars from traveling outside the attraction’s ride path.
- While uncommon, an Autopia vehicle will occasionally jump the low-to-the-ground guide rail, meaning this isn’t a major concern for the safety of park guests.
- However, Disneyland was quick to close the attraction as they returned the vehicle to its correct position.
- The derailment occurred during the “off-road" section of the attraction near Matterhorn Bobsleds, making the incident visible to guests.
- While visiting the park, Laughing Place was able to watch the evacuation procedures for the attraction, which you can check out below.
Autopia of Tomorrow:
- The opening day attraction has been a staple of Tomorrowland since 1955.
- While the thrill of transportation has never waned through the past 70 years, the future of cars has.
- As Disneyland continues to evolve its attraction lineup, Autopia will be getting a major upgrade over the next year-and-a-half with fully electric vehicles.
- We reported on the upgrade back in April, which should be fully complete by Fall of 2026.
