Disneyland is going to make a significant change to a long-standing ride. Yes, the environmentalists are getting their way! Tomorrowland’s Autopia will ditch gas motors in favor of something more sustainable.
The LA Times had the exclusive story and a quote from Disney spokeswoman Jessica Good:
“Since opening with Disneyland park in 1955, Autopia has remained a guest-favorite most popular with young kids experiencing driving for the first time. As the industry moves toward alternative fuel sources, we have developed a roadmap to electrify this attraction and are evaluating technology that will enable us to convert from gas engines in the next few years.“

More than 25 years later, Jurassic Park still rules as king of the dinosaurs... and the CGI age it brought into this world.
“Sixty-five million years in the making.”
It was the nifty slogan that adorned just about every childhood bedroom and college dorm in the summer of 1993. From lunchboxes to collectable McDonald’s cups, this brilliantly saccharine turn of marketing phrase was as ubiquitous in the culture as the hand-drawn Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton it accompanied. Dinosaurs—make that Steven Spielberg’s dinosaurs—were coming to the big screen in Jurassic Park.
Of course, this masterclass of summer entertainment did not take 65 million years to create. But in many respects, it was the culmination of nearly a hundred years of filmmaking advancement. All the way from when George Méliès first witnessed the Lumière Brothers’ cinematograph and had an idea about visual magic tricks to Jurassic Park’s 1993 release,...
