The Tomorrowland Indy Speedway caters to every little kid’s dream…driving a real car. Well…they’re close to real cars, anyway. They’re a bit smallish, have no brake, and run on a track, but other than that, it’s just like the real thing.

Anyway, whether it’s like real driving or not, kids get a kick out of the Indy Speedway. You have to be 52″ tall to drive…which basically means you have to be tall enough to reach the gas pedal. Smaller children can ride in the passenger seat, they just can’t drive.

The little Indy cars drive around on a track, which is actually a lifesaver because even the most skilled of drivers can’t keep the little buggers going straight. They bounce back and forth on the track…and they don’t have a brake, so if you take your foot off the gas they come to a screeching halt. But all in all, they’re fun, especially for older grade school children. If you don’t have children, and the line is long, you may want to skip this one. But if you have chidren tall enough to drive, make sure you ride in the passenger seat while they drive. It’s a kick.
