RICHFIELD AUTOPIA – Drive Into Tomorrow

Whether you’re 6 or 60, the Richfield Autopia was a Tomorrowland favorite that put the future in your hands—and your foot on the gas. Sponsored by Richfield Oil and powered by real gas engines, this early Disneyland attraction let guests experience the excitement of a modern freeway before many had ever driven one. Behind the wheel of a brightly colored mini-car, kids and grownups alike cruised down winding roads in a safe but thrilling adventure through Walt Disney’s optimistic vision of tomorrow. Fueled by New Richfield Ethyl, the Autopia wasn’t just a ride—it was a rite of passage.

Keep your hands on the wheel, your eyes on the road, and remember: the freeway of the future started here.
