In the room that used to house the New Tomorrowland exhibit you'' now find concept renderings for the new Autopia to open Spring of 2000 and renderings and memories of the old Autopiap. New Autopia merchandise is also available. In the middle of the room sits the car known as "Walt's Car". One of the original Mark I Autopia cars modified to be a show car.
