The Tomorrow Land Speedway

When I was a kid I enjoyed the Speedway located in Tomorrow Land. What kid doesn’t like driving fake car? Back then it was the only chance I go to do anything like that. Even though I have those fond memories I have to stop and ask – Why does this still exist?

There are so many reasons to scrap this attraction. Here are the main ones:

- Not unique. Up until the early 90’s this was fairly novel. Now there are so many similar rides everywhere you can’t even fathom it. They are everywhere and many of them don’t have a bar that keeps you on track.

- It’s huge. Do you know how many attractions you could fit in that area?

- It’s ugly. This is one of the ugliest attractions in Disney World. The only ones that beat it are the Dino Land USA midway rides.

- It kills the theming – What is futuristic about this thing? It fits in nowhere.

- It’s loud. Nothing like a few dozen lawn mowers running near you.

- It Stinks. It really smells bad. Who wants to smell exhaust fumes in the Magic Kingdom.

- The Queue is painful. Why is it painful? Because it’s boring, it’s slow, it’s loud, and you stand there and inhale exhaust fumes while you are waiting.

Do you really need anymore reasons? Keep in mind, I have fond memories and I’m more then willing to put this ride out of its misery. It’s not like Alien Encounter, Horizons, World of Motion, the original Journey Into Imagination or Mr. Toads wild ride. This ride is bordering on embarrassment.
