General Motors created a fantastic, fast ride at a Disney park. We didn't have a Lightning Pass, so we waited in the queue for about 40 minutes. The ride itself was exciting and fast. We were surprised by the change of pace during the ride, which was a nice element of surprise. My spouse and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, it was interesting. One unusual aspect was the exit after the ride. Typically, riders would exit into a shopping area, but in this case, they exited into a display area featuring various vehicles. The cars showcased were remarkably costly.We admired them briefly, but then moved on to the other attractions at EPCOT. Overall, the ride was excellent; we had a great time, but the exit area felt more like an auto show. read more

Test Track underwent a renovation it seems ... not so much the thrill ride itself, but the waiting queue of building your own car and the interactive experience afterwards. If you can ride as single riders, this is a fast way to get on the ride. I highly recommend. The wait line is often long for groups. The track will provide a lot of fast start and stops, curves, and bring you outside. After the ride you enter what feels like a car dealership. There's a few models to view and employees walking around to answer questions. We didn't stay longer than it took to walk through. read more

I have not been on this ride in about five years and it was not at all like I remembered. It used to be that you were building a car and trying it out in different hazardous weather and road conditions . The hazardous conditions are gone, and now it is just a thrill ride where you can race around in a car at speeds of up to 60 m.p.h. The final lap is outside around the upper edge of the building which is really fun! When we went, the queue for the ride had a wait time of almost 2 hours. Test Track is one of the two rides in Epcot that usually has a single rider line. A car holds three passengers in front, and three passengers in back so since it's an odd number in a row; they pull people from a single rather line very quickly. My friend and I went in the single rider line and we waited about 10 minutes total. We also got placed in the car next to each other, which was a bonus! Test Track is a really fun ride; suitable for almost everyone! read more

We rode Test Track 3.0, presented by General Motors, which opened on July 22, 2025. It was awesome. This is in my top five favorite rides at EPCOT and top 10 in all of Disney World. My favorite parts are swerving and power-sliding through the forest, narrowly missing a tractor trailer, and then exiting outside where you ride at really high speeds. It's a lot of fun. I got a small rush from the outdoor portion. The ride is themed after the evolution of mobility and future concept designs, which I think is neat. After the ride, you walk through a car showroom (which I found uninteresting) and a gift shop. Tip: We rode this during Extended Evening Hours since we stayed at a Disney Deluxe Resort. On a non-holiday Monday, we entered the line at 9:58 PM and were in our six-seat vehicle by 10:18 PM. A 20-minute wait for a ride this popular is considered short, especially since Lightning Lane isn't an option during these late-night hours. Definitely check it out if you get a chance. read more

Love roller coasters and speed? This ride might be for you! In truth, I didn't know much about this ride when I entered the line, but it was the last ride we could take before all the rides closed and in time to catch the final fireworks show before the park closed. The line took a very long time, and there wasn't much in terms of distraction on the way to get to the car. Once we got in the car, I realized that maybe I shouldn't have gotten on it. I don't like roller coasters, but I thought: well, it's not a roller coaster! However, there were similar elements of speed, fast turns, being whipped around, speeding up and slowing down, going up and down. I had to close my eyes through most of the ride. The part where it does outside was particularly weird with my eyes closed. One of my kids loved it and the other one cried. read more

If you've ever wondered what it would be like to ride in a GM commercial, you now have your answer. Test Track is a cool ride. The visuals are great, the ride itself is FAST and it's generally just a well done affair.......RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT until the end, as they take "exit through the gift shop" to a staggering new degree. You will exit through the sales floor, as you will LITERALLY walk through a GM DEALERSHIP on your way out of the building, replete with honest to god salespeople holding clipboards with promises of competitive APR financing. It's a nauseating display of pay to play advertising sponsorship that just detracts from the entire spectacle. And listen, lest you think I'm exaggerating or overselling this point, wait until you go yourself. You can literally walk off Test Track and then go buy a $70,000 GMC Yukon in under 10 minutes. As a ride, Test Track is a solid 4 stars. As an experience, it's significantly less, as it's the metaphorical equivalent to Disney and GM holding you upside down by your ankles, trying to shake the loose change out of your pocket. read more

Newly rebranded and reimagined Test Track as of July 2025. Test Track recently reopened to guests to experience the newly themed, storyline and updated to a more "today's" look about transportation, and General Motors is at the forefront of this. You get to see and learn how self driving cars "see", how electric vehicles could be customized in the future and even a look at future options for transportation (flying vehicles perhaps?). The physical track itself remains about the same with some of the same surprises and exhilarating speed. Welcome to 2025 Test Track and thank you for giving us a look at the beyond in transportation. read more

I waited in line for an hour and got right up to the loading spot. I was in the little slot to load onto the car and it broke down!!!! Then we waited another 10 minutes to see if it'd get fixed but it didn't!!! So they gave us lightning lane passes (which are a whole different rant! Screw those things - free fast passes set Disney apart in a good way, but these elitist extra expense lightning lane passes are unfair!!!). The lightning lane pass we got was good for any ride *except* guardians of the galaxy. We did the rest of the park, and went back to test-track which was working again, but then as we walked up to the lightning lane to use the passes inclement weather shut the ride down! The only other thing we wanted to ride (for a second time before leaving) was guardians, but that was the one thing the pass didn't work on!) By the time we got to the car the ride was working again according to the app!!! Scrap test track and build something that works consistently and is worth the hour wait!!!! Also boo lightning lanes. read more

Test Track is EPCOT's love letter to late-90s optimism -- when Disney thought "What if we built a thrill ride around... crash test dummies?" And somehow, it worked. It opened in 1999 after years of tech delays, software meltdowns, and budget headaches. At the time, it was the fastest and most technologically advanced ride Disney had ever built. GM was the corporate sponsor, proudly slapping their name on the thing as if to say, "Yes, America still makes cars, and they can go fast without bursting into flames." The history's half the fun: Test Track was supposed to debut in 1997, but the ride's prototype system was so complicated it made Imagineers cry into their Mickey ice cream bars. It finally opened in '99, ushering in a new era of ride systems -- computer-controlled vehicles that could simulate heat, cold, rough roads, anti-lock brakes, and high-speed acceleration. Basically, you got to feel what it's like to be a crash test dummy without actually being hurled through a windshield. Fast forward to 2012, and Disney gave it a Tron-like makeover: neon grids, design stations, and the chance to create your own "virtual concept car." Today in 2025, it's still a force to be reckoned with. You get to build a car that looks like a Hot Wheels accident, then test it for power, efficiency, responsiveness, and capability -- all before the highlight: the outdoor track. The car rockets to 65 mph, hair whipping, faces freezing, and for a glorious 30 seconds, you forget you're in Orlando and not Daytona. "Congratulations, you waited an hour to prove GM can still build something that doesn't stall on I-95. And your 'custom car'? It looks like it was designed by a caffeinated toddler with a box of crayons. But yes, my friend, you're smiling like a fool, and that's the point." Edgy truth? This ride shouldn't still slap in 2025, but it does. It's the most fun highway test drive you'll ever take without getting pulled over. And every time that outdoor loop hits, it feels brand new. Bottom line: Test Track is a survivor of late-90s tech headaches, a testament to American auto ingenuity, and a reminder that sometimes the best rides are just about going really, really fast. Still thrilling, still relevant, still worth the wait. read more

I love General Motor so I love test track. Waiting line was so long which it makes sense...If you need some adrenaline and excitement this is the ride to enjoy. We went through single riders only line which it eased the wait time in the long line...Still it was long! I enjoyed every second of it and because i love fast cars, speed and technology so this was one of my favorite rides in EPCOT! read more

A truly amazing experience. You build your dream super car and then drive and race it! 5 stars all the way for Test Track! read more

The "Cars/Test Track" ride is terrible. Not worth the 90 minute wait at all. Gone are the computers where you design your car. There's nothing to do in that long 90 minute ride. The fun things like the heat and cold test are gone. There is nothing to do with Cars at all. I was expecting to ride in a Lightning McQueen car no same old ones. It's a bust from start to finish! Don't bother!!!!! read more

Got yanked around like a crash test dummy and I loved it! Test Track was definitely one of the funner rides at EPCOT. Before the ride, we designed a wonky virtual concept car to test. Once we buckled up, we went for a spin on the test track! It quickly became clear that our design didn't affect the track experience. Instead, the track revealed whose design performed best at each test in the circuit. There were plenty of sudden jerking movements indoors. At the end, we zoomed across the outdoor track at 65 mph! After the ride, we raced our car around a virtual track with other users. The line was 45 minutes long. I'd wait in line again if we had spare time! read more

Used to be one of my top 3 rides although. The new remake took my favorite part out where you actually designed the cars.

Test Track in Epcot is one of the more popular rides here in the park. That also means that the wait times are though bit longer as well but if you don't mind breaking up from the group there is a single rider line which it is extremely helpful. There's tons to do in the queue or you can design a car and fix up elements of it to see how it performs with other designed vehicles. It's probably a bit controversial on how fun this ride actually is and some may even say this is a bit overrated. This ride starts off by going through a series of tests of mobility and then at the very end you speed off outside through a track. Be sure to pose for the camera to the right shortly after you start the high-speed section of the track. I believe that this is one of the fastest moving rides on property although it doesn't feel like it is. Test Track of the one of my go to rides whenever I come here to Epcot. There's a bunch of Chevy vehicles that you can look at afterwards in the show room too. It's a fun ride but it also depends on what the wait times are for this Epcot classic. read more

New and improved Test Track. Like many Disney fans, I have waited anxiously for the imagineers to reinvent this classic ride over the last few months. I finally got to try it out after it recently reopened. This ride is located inside EPCOT, on the northeast side of the lake and southeast of Spaceship Earth (the giant sphere). It is a very popular ride and so will have a long wait most of the time. In fact there is always a line when it is open for the people that do not have the Lightning lane or if they don't choose to ride as a single rider. Therefore, if you want to ride this in a reasonable amount of time or with limited waiting, I would suggest getting a lightning Lane pass, going early, or doing a single rider. I have been successful with the single rider option on almost every visit. In fact sometimes I have practically walked onto the ride since they use the single riders to fill the cars. The new, improved version has the same car set up which is 2 sets of 3 people across in a car. The ride and track seem to have the same basic design and bumpiness to it but almost all the graphics have changed. Before, you got to choose your car, I did not see that option in the new ride. The graphic right before the car drives outside is very impressive to see and was well done. Overall, it is still the fastest ride at EPCOT but now it has a facelift. Enjoy. read more

My group of friends had a really fun experience on this ride! We were split into two groups of three and designed our cars. Then once we got on the ride (we all sat in one car, 3 in front, 3 in back), the ride was literally like a test track where new cars are tested for safety, efficiency, and best of all, SPEED! Your design doesn't have any effect on the ride, but as you go through the ride, it shows you your car design and rates it on screens. At the end, you get 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place for overall design. I don't understand how our group's sleek car was 2nd place to our other friend group's Scooby Doo looking mystery machine design hahaha but that just made it funnier anyway. read more

What a great ride that has been around for a while. At the start you get to make your own car and play with different things that actually affect your score at the end of the ride. Then you get to use your car to do the testing in the ride, which is fast and jerks. It's really cool that you can make your car and then see how it actually performs. A must when you see in Epcot. read more

Probably the best "ride" at Epcot. You and 5 other passengers are placed in a "car" that zips through a course. This is the closest thing to a roller coaster in this park. You start by "building" your virtual car. This doesn't really affect the actual car you ride in, but at the end of the ride, they give you a score on how well your virtual car performs. When exiting, you walk through what seems like a Chevy dealership. TL/DR: the top attraction at Epcot as evidenced by the 90 minute wait in line. All the other rides were 15 minutes or less. read more

Great ride at Epcot. You get to design your own car and the properties that you assign to it gets tested in different conditions throughout the ride including the best part at the end, the speedy test around the track. For some reason this ride always has a very long wait, 45-90 mins I've waited before. It's a lot of fun, but I wouldn't wait over an hour for it. It also seems to have technical difficulties every time I go to Epcot and is temporarily closed for part of the day. read more

One of the first thrill rides at Epcot, test track is a must do for the entire family (as long as your family is tall enough to get on!) The rid queue is stunning and also very twisty-turny. The queue is very futuristic, showing prototypes of cars that may one day be designed, as well as some real cool designs of cars now and possibly in the future as well! The ride has an area where you load into, with a computer screen, and you get to design your own car and "race" it on the track against other people in your ride vehicle. Unfortunately because of covid, this section is blocked off for the time being. The ride itself is designed like you are a test dummy in a car that is being designed to handle the road and weather it may throw at you! The ride takes place inside AND outside! The ride involves going up hills, going down hills while checking the brakes, speeding up and immediate slowing down, as well as twisting and curving around some hills! Truly makes you feel like you're in the future on this right. On the outside, you blast off through a door that opens at the last second and you race around the outer part of the ride, reaching a top speed of 65 miles per hour, around an insane banking curve! There are a couple surprises to look out for while on the ride! Overall an amazing ride! At the end, you can even see how your car did against every car that was designed that day and have it displayed! They also have an enormous section with purchasable cars right in the exit of the ride! Definitely a must do ride if you are at Epcot!!! read more

I enjoy it!!! It's an Ultimate Test Drive Cruise over (the Eastern side of Epcot) to the Chevrolet Design Center to create (before Covid) your own virtual concept car. When you're done, buckle up in a 6-passenger "SIM Car" and take it for a simulated excursion through the (dark) rigorous testing procedures that General Motors uses to evaluate its concept cars. Accelerate through rough terrain and obstacles along a testing circuit including inclement weather, curves banked at 50-degree angles and scaling hills. You get to reach speeds of up to 65 miles per hour as you put you car through the tests, culminating in a high-speed drive around the exterior of the attraction. After each test, check the scoreboard to see how your vehicle performed! My video is on my channel PrettyJulsTravels & Living on YouTube read more

My daughter's first time at Disney World Epcot. She absolutely enjoyed Test Track. Test Track is located inside Epcot, next to Mission Mars. Disney World has put in-place proper social distancing guidelines for Test Track, with waiting in queue 6 ft apart. Hand sanitizers are located before and after the ride. With all of the new guidelines in-place, Test Track does not allow you to customize your own vehicle. The customization is turned off. Automatic designed vehicles are displayed during your ride through Test Track. Test Track is one of my daughter and I's favorite rides at Epcot. You buckle-up in a 6 seat car. Right now, Disney World is operating one car per family. Once you take off in Test Track, you run through several different simulations test during the ride such as efficiency and responsiveness. It is a dark ride and goes relatively quickly once you are outside. After each test, it will bench mark your vehicle against other vehicles. During the last part of the ride, you'll get to go outside on the test track, at about 65 mph. It's pretty fun! Afterwards, you're presented with a variety of Chevrolet vehicles. Pretty neat! read more

Great ride. Super fast and fun. It's a lot faster than Radiator Springs Racers at Disneyland.

Epcot (Orlando) FUTURE WORLD EAST We had a FastPass+ for this ride. Twice we had to get in line, the first time they had to stop the ride due to rain especially if there was any chance of lightning. We tried to wait it out but the rain didn't seem to let up. This ride is mostly indoors and maybe not required to close in mild or moderate rainy weather but we experienced sudden extreme downpour and got delayed because the last part of this ride was an outdoor ride. We left the line but they reopened again after the rain stopped and we got in for a second try. Before we began our journey we created our own turbo dream sim car. I don't know anything about creating a car but I did choose the color of my sim-car. At some point while in line we were shown tests performed on the cars and its parts before they were released. The ride is a simulated journey going through extremely thorough testing procedures that GM uses to asses its autos. The best part was the last part... the ride. Test Track reached speeds up to some crazy 65 mph, which was a little scary for a thrill ride but the track had no roller coaster dips or inversions or anything like that. Other than slight banking, it is really concentrated on acceleration and speed. Wheeee! That was fun! At the end of the ride, as we exited, the screens showed us how our car did from the parts we chose. Categories were Power, Responsiveness, Capability and Efficiency. Fun but boo! on the rain...

Great thrill ride!! One of the better thrill rides at Epcot (maybe the only one?). Good ride for kiddos who may not be ready for a Rock 'n' Roller Coaster but ready for a thrill ride. I remember going to Epcot in 2000 and Test Track was the talk of the town - even with a fast pass the wait was an hour. I also remember the theme of the ride being one of safety testing and crash dummies. I think guests were the test dummies! So I was surprised to see Test Track of today being all about cars and their efficiencies, capability, and speed! Test Track lets you create your own custom concept vehicle and "test" it out on the ride/track. The queue is super interactive and helps the time go by while waiting in line. You get a decent amount of time designing your car but this time still goes by fast. Your MagicBand comes into play with uploading your design to your ride. So make sure you scan it before loading onto the ride. Once you buckle in your ride - you go through four different tests to see how well your car stood up to each test. Most of the ride is inside/"dark ride". The tests are capability, efficiency, responsiveness, and power. The tests are not too thrilling - some jerking around and some quick turns but nothing like the end of the ride. After each test is complete you get a score of how well your concept car held up. The best part of Test Track is the final leg of the ride - a 65 mph high-speed drive! You finally break free from inside and take a spin outside. After the ride be sure to check out the Chevrolet vehicles - felt like I was at a Detroit Auto Show! read more

What a ringing endorsement for Chevy and American made cars... During the span of our pitiful ESTIMATED 60 minute wait time the ride broken down at least 5 times. (ACTUAL time was closer to 150 minutes.) They even had to rotate between a male and female announcer to deliver the awful news. The standby line people either chose to bail OR suck it up and waste away our lives. I should have resigned to defeat earlier and sat on the ground when they announced the mechanical issues. Part of the line is disguised by the back wall. When you get to that point it could be another hour until you actually get to design anything. By the time we reached the "team design" phase we lost all excitement. We wanted to just get on the ride and get through this horrible experience. We mostly selected random features. They only give you about 10 minutes or less anyway on the giant touch screen to customize it. Each vehicle seats up to 6 so you're better off just EACH zipping through the SINGLE rider. The team aspect only matters for the brief tablet screen section. It's also an amalgamation with digital stats of your selected performance. The actual ride experience is the same for everyone. You scan your card or fast pass before you get on the ride. I'm not sure if it randomizes a car if you personally haven't customized one? The actual ride itself in the beginning was a big jerky to test some of its features like steering and braking. Only at the end does it feel "fast". Even so it doesn't even break 60 mph. I'm sure the experience is more enjoyable if you've only waited a reasonable amount of time. At the VERY END you get to see how your design compared to the rest of the ones submitted for the day. However, NOT before you are forced to slog through their not so subtle Chevy Showroom. No I do not want to buy one of your vehicles if this piss poor engineering demonstrated in its frequent breakdowns is a preview of your shoddy workmanship. Seriously if you look through the reviews, the mechanical failures pop up rather frequently! Anyway my design scored 209 and the high was 231 for the day. It does not make waiting in line for nearly 2.5 hours any easier. It fatigued me for the rest of the day and other rides. As far as I can tell Chevy has nothing else to do with Disney aside from paying a huge amount of money to have this giant product placement in Epcot. read more

So this is one of the top level rides at Epcot along with Soaring. We have road it a few times and it is always fun. If you can get a fastpass it is highly recommended. The car will go through some test car sections with your car competing with everyone elses to see who passes that section. Once done with that you go outside and race around the build at 60+ miles and hour. That part is quick be lots of fun. I want to do it at night. There is lots of fun to be had even once you are done with the ride as you can drive your car in a few games out front as well as get some unique photos. This is a great ride if you can get a fast pass or want to go single rider but the standard line is usually pretty long. read more

Test Track was a big deal when it opened back in 1997, mainly because it was only Epcot's second thrill ride (the first being Body Wars). Even still, this proved to be a headliner attraction because it encompassed an entire pavilion vs. just being a component of another. I've ridden Test Track multiple times both pre and post refresh and agree with the consensus that it shouldn't be missed - especially if it's your fist visit to the park. Test Track replaced World of Motion, an omnimover ride that showcased the history and possible future of transportation. What people may not realize is that when they were constructing Test Track, they did not demolish the building World of Motion was in, so that structure is original to the park. Test Track is a much more exciting ride than World of Motion, giving the guest an opportunity to build a custom car and then testing it out. The testing includes different weather situations, speeds, and overall handling. The highlight of the ride was testing your vehicle on the motorway, where you'll reach high speeds while making sharp turns and sudden (small) drops. For a while Disney advertised Test Track as the "longest" ride in WDW, but I think they're referring to sheer distance you travel, because the ride is actually pretty short in terms of time. The refresh a few years back updated the facade and gave the guest more option for vehicle customization which I thought was a good thing, but for the most part the ride has remained the same since it opened. For me, it's fun but I don't make an effort to ride it every time I go - it's a great ride it's just not my favorite. That being said, if this is your first trip to Epcot or someone who seeks thrill rides I definitely recommend you visit Test Track. read more

It didn't click with me that this was a roller coaster until I was on it, which was a fun surprise for me! Fast, but fairly mild, loved it! It also meant my non-roller-coaster-loving friends were a little shocked, but they ended up enjoying it as well. read more

Such a fun ride. You start off building your own car and it's a race so make sure to scan your magic band or card. Cool cars (chevy) to look at on the way out of the ride. It's all together a very fun experience. The store is nice. Plenty of gear for those that like chevy. Definitely one of my favorite rides. Genie+ is a must. Lines get long quickly. Great times. read more

I love Test Track! I had not been on this ride since 2003 and I remembered enjoying it quite a bit. I was excited to come back nearly 15 years later and go on this again. The bones of this ride seemed similar, but I feel like the ride had changed a lot cosmetically. I'd say the thrill level on here is medium. You do get jerked around a bit on the testing track. You zoom around the track at the end at speeds of around 60 MPH. The vehicle you ride in has 3 seats in the front and 3 in the back. My pro tip for this ride is to hit the single rider line!!! This is perfect for adults visiting the park without young kids, you will be on the ride 3-5x faster than if you wait in the standby line. So go this route if you can and save your Fast Passes for Soarin' instead! I did single rider a few times here and the wait was maybe 10-15 minutes at most when Disney had moderate crowds. My husband and I always do single rider when we can at Disney parks since we don't mind the temporary split if it means avoiding a long line. There is a giant car showroom as you exit the ride, tons of Chevy cars to check out. The exit from this attraction also features a good sized gift shop with plenty of overpriced Disney trinkets. read more

Test Track was closed while we were at WDW last (January of 2020), but it was always one of my favorite rides in Epcot. Lines can get long for this one, so a FastPass is always recommended, or they have a single rider line option. I'm not a big car buff, but I like fast rides, so Test Track appeals to me for that reason. The queue area has been updated in the past several years with screens to build your own custom car which you then are "testing" through a series of tests. Capability, efficiency, responsiveness, and power are all tests you'll experience on Test Track. I love when you go out onto the outside track! The ride gets up to almost 65 mph, so it's definitely thrilling. Definitely try to get a FastPass for Test Track if you like thrill rides. read more

For those of you who have been on Radiator Springs Racers in Disney California Adventure in Anaheim, CA, think of Test Track as the older, much cooler brother. The race...or speed portion goes fast!! Maximum speed is 64.9 mph. And ladies, hold on to your weaves, strip lashes or lash extensions. I had no doubt a few of my lash extensions flew off on this. Your key words to avoid a 60+ hr stand by wait are ROPE DROP. Say it with me.....ROPE. DROP. That means sacrifice a few minutes of sleep, wake your ass up early and come to Epcot before it opens. Once it does, head on over here. We did that and our stand by wait was only 15 minutes. We even got to do this twice in a row. As we exited after our second time, the stand by wait shot up to 50 minutes. And this was within only 30 minutes after opening!!!!! You get (3) "Tier 1" options to choose from. This, Soarin and Frozen Ever After. My advice is pick one for your fastpass+ reservation and then try and do the other two at rope drop. If you arrive early, I'm sure you can get them done and out of the way. Maybe even go on twice with something you enjoy. read more

Even if you've never been to Epcot at the Walt Disney World resort, you likely heard of the ride/retraction test track. It goes without saying that test track is in a tie with saurian for best ride at Epcot... Sorry Elsa, the new ride just doesn't cut it! This is most definitely one of the two attraction to use your "good ride" (and Soarin but that's a separate review!) fast pass on. This is kinda a toss up because Test Track does have a single rider line, but you will not ride with your party....ever. One other thing is with the single rider you don't get to design your own car. You will be in whatever car someone else created. The line at Test Track is pretty long 60-90+ on a regular basis. So, it's a toss up because the wait time for Soarin' is always reallllyyyy long. If you're not concerned with seeing Illuminations, you could probably get on Test Track pretty easy around 8:45. If you definitely want a good picture, then make sure you're in the front row. The back isn't terrible, but my lil shorty of a girl and you can never see her. One other thing I will add is that there is something to be said about riding test track at night. It feels like you're going faster and you don't have to lose the illusion by seeing all the behind the scenes stuff below the exterior loop. read more

Test Track is definitely my favorite ride in Epcot!! I always have to make at least one stop here every time I'm in this park. The lines are always crazy, but at least they have a single rider option. Test Track is a part of the Future World, where you can design your own car and see how well it does with a few 'test runs.' you'll hop into an actual vehicle, and 'drive' throughout the course, which can almost feel like a mini roller coaster. Sadly with the single rider line you do not get to create your own car, but it is still fun to just ride. If you do go through the actual line, you'll at least get tons of cool cars to look through and have some time to create your own custom ride. Use Test Track as one of your three Fastpasses for Epcot! read more

I both love and hate the new updates they made. As for the actual ride itself, I love all the updates they made. It's the stuff before that is now annoying. Now before you go on your ride, you get to use a computer to build your own car and see how it stands up against the cars other people you are riding with design. It also compares your car with all the other cars that were designed throughout the day. Ok, this was fun the first time. it was definitely really, really cool. The second time, it was still a little fun. After the third time, I was over it. I just want to go on the ride! Even with a Fast Pass, this whole design building process postpones your ride at least half an hour. Total waste of time... at least for me. If you've never done the design thing, I think you should. However, I really, really wish Disney would give us the option to bypass this design building process. If it weren't for the design building, I'd give Test Track 5 stars because I love the ride itself. I just don't like throwing away a half hour of my time doing something I don't want to do again and again. read more

Long lines, fast cars and it's family oriented!!! Sign me up...well not for the long lines but hey this ride is worth it! I am in LOVE with speed, and a good time with the family! It's great how they have several cars on display for you to pose with for that perfect Instagram selfie! They have futuristic cars and just some of the luxury ones as well. Love how they have changed up the process of how you start the ride as well. Instead of going into a safety room, which yes is important they have made it more interactive for the group. You get to build your groups car together and then it's voted in to see if it will be featured. I would say if you have motion sickness, this is not for you due to the fact it does go fast and they are several sudden stops. If you are a thrill seeker like me, then it will get the adrenaline rolling but nothing too crazy! All in all this is a solid ride! Yes the lines are always long unless you take the single rider lane, but other than that it's a good time!! read more

A lot has changed since my last review, but one thing has remained the same. Test Track is an awesome ride. The new version of Test Track is even more popular than the original. Riders are given a ride card, or use their magic bands to create their own vehicle design on a computer in the waiting area. The designs are then transferred to your ride vehicle and you'll see the test results as the ride goes on. It doesn't really matter what type of vehicle you design, the ride will remain the same. I think it is just a way to kill time and show you that changes in performance affect other critical features when designing automobiles. The ride it self is pretty much the same as it used to be, but it's been made more modern with graphics etc. The vehicles are no longer labeled as Saturn vehicles since that company was phased out. The highlight of this ride is the high speed lap outside. Imagine what it would be like to ride in your very own slot car and you will have an idea what this ride is like. The ride tops out around 65, but you would swear you are going twice that. It is really a blast to ride. The ride vehicles each have two rows of seats and seat three per row. Smaller children should ride in the middle as that is the spot with the least leg room. This ride is really fun. If you like speed, check it out and enjoy the ride. Note: Get a fast pass unless you like waiting an hour or more. read more

Not having been to Epcot in several years, it took me a while to realize that it wasn't that I had forgotten much about the ride but that it had been revamped and updated in several positive ways. The pre-ride videos have been updated--sorry John Michael Higgins fans!--as have many of the queue elements, modernizing the ride. The biggest change, however, is that each pair of riders will get to "create" their own vehicle, and your designs are tied to your ticket or bracelet and are featured throughout the ride. You can even put together a short commercial featuring the vehicle that you created. While not perfect, these elements add quite a bit to the pre- and post-ride experience. Naturally there are Chevy vehicles available for your viewing pleasure on the way out to the gift shop. Yes, some may blanch at the blatant Chevy/GM references, but it's clearly defined on all signage that this is a sponsored ride by an American car company. If you feel this will hurt the feelings of your Toyota minivan parked at home, try something else. Everyone else, step right up and enjoy the ride! read more
