Event Information:
The Walt Disney World Speedway track has
been part of the Walt Disney World Marathon
course in some years. Walt Disney World
Speedway is a racing facility located on the
grounds of the Walt Disney World resort near
Orlando, Florida. It was built in 1995 by
IMS Events, Inc., a subsidiary of the
Indianapolis Motor Speedway Corporation, and
was designed primarily as a venue for the
Indy 200 at Walt Disney World, an Indy
Racing League event.
Currently, the circuit's primary use is as a
venue for the Richard Petty Driving
Experience, and the Indy Racing Experience,
programs that allows fans to drive or ride
in real race cars. It no longer hosts any
professional competition.
Disneyland is an American theme park located
in Anaheim, California, owned and operated
by the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts
division of The Walt Disney Company. It was
dedicated with a press preview on July 17,
1955, and opened to the general public on
July 18, 1955. Disneyland holds the
distinction of being the only theme park to
be designed and built under the direct
supervision of Walt Disney himself. As of
2005, the park has been visited by more than
515 million guests since it opened,
including presidents, royalty and other
heads of state. In 1998, the theme park was
re-branded "Disneyland Park" to distinguish
it from the larger Disneyland Resort
complex. In 2007, more than 14,800,000
people visited the park making it the second
most visited park in the world, behind the
Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World.
