Disneyland must swap out the gas-powered engines in the ride cars for the iconic Autopia ride by early next year or the park will be forced to shutter the attraction, according to local reports.
Autopia was one of the original attractions of the Anaheim theme park when it opened in July 1955, and the only one left in Tomorrowland.
Disney told the Register the error had no impact on the environment.
The company told The Los Angeles Times that the vehicles will switch to electric by next year.
