The Autopia in Tomorrowland was one of the first attractions in Disneyland to receive the new Fastpass system during construction with its reopening in June 2000. Even though its queue was not specifically designed for Fastpass, it was reworked during its refurbishment and allows for a fairly smooth flow of Fastpass and Standby guests.

When you approach the sign for the Autopia you will notice information for Fastpass both under the very large Autopia sign as well as along the Innoventions building directly across. The signs along the Innoventions building will give you all the information you need to know to make the choice between Fastpass and the Standby Queue. This is also the area where the Distribution Center is located. The information under the Autopia sign includes the Fastpass time, and is where you will need to look when you return with your Fastpass tickets in hand.

The Fastpass Distribution Center is located across from the large Autopia sign along the Innoventions Building. This Fastpass Distribution Center has a specific entrance and exit, so make sure you double check the signs before walking up. The entrance is an upward ramp that starts under the sign that notes the Fastpass return times. Once up you may choose from one of several Fastpass machines. Once you are done getting your Fastpass Tickets continue on past the machines, and you will be heading toward the exit. It is important to note that the Autopia Fastpass Distribution area has been designed to feed people into Innoventions. As you exit you will then have the choice of either entering the line for Innoventions or exiting the distribution area. If you wish to wait for Innoventions stick to your left and follow the signs that lead you to the line for the attraction. To exit stay to your right and head down the stairs and back into Tomorrowland.

The Standby Line for the Autopia is one of the few waits that will normally place you onto the attraction before the Fastpass return time. The wait is usually around 30 minutes or so. If you wish to ride this attraction twice, this is one that you will be able to do so almost every time you visit. Simply pick up a Fastpass Ticket and then hop into the Standby Line. If there is a longer wait for the Standby Line, usually around 30 minutes or more it will start right under the large sign for the Autopia. If the line is small, under around 20 minutes, Cast Members will simply usher you up the ramp and into the larger queue in the grandstand area. Once in the Grandstand area you will need to follow the signs posted and make a turn to your right, which will place you in the Standby queue in this area.

Once you have acquired your Fastpass Tickets and spent your time roaming around the park it is time to return to the entrance of the Autopia. With your Fastpass Tickets in hand, simply walk up to area under the large Autopia sign and you will be let through to walk up the ramp to the queue area. If the Standby Line is short, you may not meet any Cast Members until after you have walked up the ramp and made it to the Grandstand area. Once here the queue will split, and you will continue on straight, as indicated by the signs and by the Cast Member who is waiting at this location to take your Fastpass Tickets. From here it's a quick walk through some of the show elements of the queue, through the turnstiles, and into one of the two lines that lead you to the Autopia cars.
