It is not in any way abandoned; but the area in which the Autopia is located appears to be little used. According to the WD Hometown Museum, the pool is typically open during the summer months; we were there mid-August and the pool was drained and appeared to not have been used recently.Jeffrey Pepperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00990997892044489714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34647587.post-64201926117477798312011-09-06T12:28:10.162-04:002011-09-06T12:28:10.162-04:00Very interesting article. It&#39;s sad to see how run down it all looks. How big is the park? Is the whole area neglected as well? It kind of sounds like it since you mentioned the abandoned pool as well.Rocky Mountain Disniachttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15666798815378098757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34647587.post-45333218408576425022011-09-06T09:02:02.145-04:002011-09-06T09:02:02.145-04:00Popular place; we were there on Friday (which was a beautiful albeit hot day). With the museum still a work-in-progress as they indicate, restoring the cars is going to be pretty far down the list of projects. At least they still have them to be restored.Scott Ladewighttp://www.ladewig.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34647587.post-84485949029452448482011-09-05T16:31:07.419-04:002011-09-05T16:31:07.419-04:00We were there on Saturday, also gloomy. But I found the Yogi Bear decor at the old Autotopia to be the most curious thing. They say the original cars plain wore-out, they still have them, but will require extensive restoration at great cost.Kelly Hoffmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34647587.post-85619269928417983472011-09-05T10:05:11.166-04:002011-09-05T10:05:11.166-04:00Chris,<br /><br />Evidence of the steel track can still be found in the cement &quot;road&quot; of the attraction.

I don&#39;t understand how it worked (while it still did). Also, what happened to the cars?Chrisnoreply@blogger.com
