Vacationers who aren’t auto racing fans may not realize when their standing at the entrance of Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, they’re less than a half mile from a former Indy Racing track. They may suspect something, however, when they hear the sounds of a hurtling race car as they walk through the parking lot to their cars.

Nine years after the last Indy 200 sped around the 1-mile Walt Disney World Speedway, Indy Racing has returned in the form of an attraction that leaves other Disney car adventures in its dust. For $109, thrill seekers can take a minute trip in comfort, hurtling three times around the track at speeds of up to 165 mph.
