Autoworld's first area was located inside a big dome. The insides were designed to look like Flint long ago. The first display that you came to was a small cabin. Inside, was a mannequin. When you pressed a red button on the outside of the cabin it kicked on a film that projected onto the mannequin's face. The mannequin was supposed to be Jacob Smith, founder of Flint. It would welcome you to AutoWorld and talk about the beginning of Flint. In the center of the dome was a Ferris wheel, and nearby was a carousel.
Out of the dome was a area with a giant car engine, rides that featured robotic puppets, a IMAX theater, cars and exhibits about cars.
AutoWorld was featured in the 1989 movie Roger and Me by Michael Moore. Footage of AutoWorld being demolished was shown in the 1997 film The Big One by Michael Moore.
