Disneyland's Autopia was precursor to modern freeway system

When are they going to update it with tailgating semis, orange barrels, and ugly interchanges filled with fast food restaurants?
Yeah, Disney sure was a visionary to predict the oodles of fun we'd have on the freeways of the future!
Let's not dog freeways. Freeways were instrumental in the decision to put Walt Disney World where it is. Cedar Point would still be a "local" park without freeways.
Whether or not Disney's vision was a precursor to what we have today is speculative though.

A: When it gets renamed...I give you - Dystopia! ;)
If there were traffic and construction, it would be like the rest of the L.A. area and offer nothing original to park guests!
