Yes it runs a lot more now than it ever did in the past. It has been open mostly everyday since early March this year, or could have been February. Also it is just a seasonal attraction, though it has started to been running a lot more lately.

Autopia is open from 2. March.

It´s always open during the "warmer" days. It´s closed in the winter.

Cars Race Rally is another attraction. It´s one of the new attractions of the Walt Disney Studio Park and opens in june! :wink:

Dont know whats going on there then. I've been in October, June and August and it hasnt been open! I always wondered what it was-yes I know its a car ride, but is it any good? Ah well. I wonder if it will be open when we go in October? :? Not that I'll be too worried with so much else to do.

It's fun, but rather boring for what you queue, though then again it has some nice themeing around the circuit. Tubbsy sounds like you have some bad luck when it comes to autopia being opened. It is usually open during those months too.

Theres loads of other stuff to see, so it hasnt been a great loss. I just thought that it wasnt working :!: and maybe DLRP were considering, when finances allowed, replacing it with something that did work :!:

Maybe we'll be lucky in October.

I wouldn't mind it being replaced, but I hope that if they decide to do so they also do something about Discovery Land as a whole - they have too many popular rides there now, that it really isn't nice anymore to try and swim the crowds until you get a glimpse of Space Mountain's entrance...

So if I were Disney - put up your next ride where you have space (at Frontierland Station), and try and spread the visitors throughout the park some more... There are a few places that are just getting way too crowded

Luckily, the current developments in the Studios will probably get some of the visitors from teh Magic Kingdom pulled into the Studios, making it a bit more evenly spread throughout both Parks

Crossing our fingers here!!!
