Junior Autopia | DISNEY THIS DAY | July 23, 1956

Jul 23, 2026
On this day in 1956, the Junior Autopia debuted at Disneyland to share demand with the popular Autopia attraction. The idea of highway driving seemed futuristic in this time before interstate highways. It was geared toward younger kids and was the first version to have a center guide rail. The cars were the same as regular Autopia, except the gas pedals were fitted with a booster block. The Junior Autopia took over the space of the former Mickey Mouse Club Circus. It ran for two years before being converted to the Fantasyland Autopia.
