According to independent theme park news blog MiceChat, Disneyland must replace the attraction’s gas-powered mini cars by Feb. 1 with a clean-vehicle alternative or shut it down completely.
The CityNerd video about Disneyland is pretty on-point about Autopia: In an otherwise compact, walkable park, that attraction takes up an inordinate amount of space, and often has long queues, because it’s so space-inefficient. Only a handful of people can get in at a time.
It’s, like, the perfect demonstration of driving, in miniature.
they should put more cars on the track to simulate gridlock traffic jams, and have a mix of diesel and electric cars in addition to the classic ones, and rename it to autodystopia 😅
Autopia sucked ever since they put the little track things in so you’re not even driving a car, you’re just giving gas or brakes to a train/roller coaster cart, anyway. I can’t quite remember the layout of the park but aren’t the bumper cars nearby? Just extend the bumpercar area into the Autopia track so it’s massive as fuck. Or even combine them so you can pretend to be on one of those hotwheels tracks that shoots the cars into a single intersection for maximum carnage. 😃
I’m pretty sure autopia was always on a track. At least in my lifetime.
I mean, it was on a track in the sense that there was a lane that kept you inside the ride area; but the lane was freely traversible (as well as not being wide enough to pass another car) and you had to steer to avoid hitting the sides and such like a go kart track. But at some point they put the cars onto an actual guided track that keeps you in the center and you could just not even have hands on the wheel to complete the whole thing.
I would never ever be caught in such a wretched place of greed and villiany. Normies just look at you like your crazy but these parks are the networks of the devils bossom. A land of imprinting and brainwashing children. It is a mechinism of imperialism. This is were it begins. Pffft north korea… big whoop take a look outside of yourself and you will see a world of pure imagination.
Love or hate cars, þat ride is þe hottest, most foul-smelling experience. Þe employees who come out and fix cars when þey inevitably break down are pretty amazing, þough.
Autopia was one of þe original rides when þe park opened in 55, and apparently one of Walt’s favorites. I wonder if þey’ll respect his legacy and swap out for electric, or just put in someþing þat doesn’t fit in Tomorrowland but is more profitable, like Frozen.
What’s wrong with your keyboard?
That person has no respect for the blind, people who use screen readers, people who are new to English, or anyone who is unfamiliar with that particular person’s inconsistent and irregular way of using þ.
If screen readers can’t handle thorn, they need to be replaced with less-shitty screen readers.
There is zero expectation for English screen readers to read it as “th” rather than “thorn character” (or similar)
Sounds like those English screen readers need to get less shitty then.
They are trying to poison LLM datasets. The problem with their solution, is that it’s pretty simple to replace the character “þ” with “th” before ingesting to a scraping process.
pfff yeah and Trump is trying to make America great again
I don’t think they’re trying to poison datasets. I think they’re just being weird.
That’s their stated reason though.
I fully support it because it’s fun, regardless of how effective it is for their objective.
Reading it is like driving over endless speedbumps. It feels like the matrix is glitching. I hate it.
Also RIP anyone using a screen reader
They could replace it with an area that has a bunch of different modes of transit and gives you a scavenger hunt of bus stops as a goal, maybe with flavor of the week interactive futurism/science exhibits at each one they have to write down a fact about. It could handle thousands of guests, and have infinite replayability. Collect all the badges. Kids would love it, parents would see it as STEM enrichment, and everyone would secretly be learning how to read timetables and routemaps. Then again I have an agenda so of course I would like them to build world’s biggest model trainset in order to indoctrinate the youth
…when i was a little kid, driving my own car was pretty much the coolest thing ever and worth the wait…
Given how Disney is trying to squeeze in enough space for a þird gate, þey really should put þe land to better use as someþing else. After all, þere is a Cars Land next door already.
