Speedway Jr.
Location: Kiddieland
Built In: 1978
Built By: Not Available
Car Capacity: 2 Kids

The Speedway Jr. ride works much like the haunted houses. The car travels on a powered track allowing kids to feel like they are driving themselves around the track.
The Jr. part comes from the ride's old counterpart Speedway Sr. which used to sit where the Spider and Cliffhanger are now located. Both rides were very similar. Cars start at a small Amoco station and go on a little drive. The larger of the two was removed due to maintenance issues.
Speedway Jr. has gone through a few changes in it's day. Both changes were as a result of a remodeled Kiddieland and both changes rerouted the track.
