Although Test Track is not my favorite in Epcot, it's up there. And it's my travel buddy's favorite ride in the park! The wait can get really long for this ride quite quickly so you'll definitely want to go the FastPass route if it's available. They go quickly so grab one while you can! The preride video is so boring (maybe it's just me) and I always dread it and can't wait for it to finish up so I can get into the actual line queue! Test Track puts the car through different 'tests', testing the brakes, how it does in different weather, etc. It's all building up to the big moment when you speed outside! It feels great to go 65 mph at an angle outside with no top on and nothing holding you in but your seatbelt! It's a great feeling and makes for a lot of fun as you spin around the track! Test Track is under going some changes shortly so it will be interesting to see how it goes. read more

Love this ride. You get to design your own car, then put it through some "tests." The ride even goes outside at one point (from inside to outside), which really surprised me when I rode it this past summer. There's also a single rider line if the regular line is too long. Definitely the best ride at Epcot, and one of my overall WDW favorites, too. read more

In comparison to the Radiator Springs Racers in California Adventure, the concept is great but mediocre in terms of speed. My friends and I were lucky to get a Fastpass for this ride. If not for the Fastpass, we would have waited for 60 minutes. This ride has a single riders line for those looking to shave off some wait time. Before boarding your sweet ride, you're allowed a few minutes to design your own car and make adjustments to sustain certain terrains. Once you link your magic band to start designing your car, a countdown begins. We had no idea we could pick the paint jobs for our car, so we took our sweet time. So be quick on your decisions! While designing the car, I imagined how much fun my boyfriend would have designing his own car and wish he could join us. After creating the car to your liking, you hop into your vehicle after linking your magic band and take it for a spin. The ride begins with a test drive on various terrains and the final test is speeding through a race track. Your car is ranked in comparison to other vehicles created that day. I liked the concept of the ride, but wish it was faster. Upon completing your test drive are several fun activities you can play with the vehicle you created. I would recommend this ride if a Fastpass is available. read more

Epcot has a tiered FastPass system. Guests may reserve slots for 3 different attractions, but only one of those can be in Group A. Test Track, along with Frozen Ever After, IllumiNations, and Soarin' are the other rides in Group A. All other rides are in Group B. It's definitely recommended to use your FP for this one since it's one of the most popular ride (beside Frozen), for good reasons. If you want to do this and Soarin', I would recommend doing standby Soarin' since the wait time for Soarin' is generally shorter. OR get a FP for Soarin' and go the single ride for Test Track. So about the ride itself. First get to design a virtual concept vehicle and see how it preforms compared to other vehicles, then you board a 6-passenger "simulation car" and go on an almost one mile track that reaches a speed of 65 mph. The last time we went, I had selected it as a FP (eventhough we've been on it once before), but we missed the time slot so I kept on checking throughout the day and was able to get one for later that evening. It was still fun the second time around. I don't like rides that spins, so I really enjoyed one. It's thrilling without being scary. A fun ride for all ages as long as they meet the height requirement of 40". After the ride, on the way out there are hands on exhibits such as Photo Finish. You get to take a photo in front of different vehicles and change the backdrop and have the photos emailed to you. I found the image quality to be dark and pretty poor. Fun to do but maybe use your own camera just in case you have the same experience (you just won't get the customized backdrops). read more

I can't say enough about Test Track! It is my favorite ride at Disney World for so many reasons! REASON ONE - We had fast passes and it made our wait time almost nothing. REASON TWO - Lucked out on a second fast pass later in the day! REASON THREE - Designing our own cars was so much fun. I thought I'd put together a winner until I looked up at the cars my son and wife had imagined. Hers was an ultra cute speeders while my son went for the monster truck theme. REASON FOUR - You actually get results back at the end of the race for how your car design held up against others. Proud to say our family came in 1, 2 and 3 the two times we rode it! REASON FIVE - While I could have done without the "testing" part of the first half of the ride, that second half where you can put the pedal to the metal raised the chill bumps on my arms! I LOVE SPEED and that was totally awesome! REASON SIX - Even my wife, who normally gets sick on rides like this found it to be fun! After 19 years of marriage I discovered she can handle the speed, it's loops and upside down spins that get her. Since Test Track has none of that, it didn't bother her, which thrilled me to no end. She even rode it a second time with me! REASON SEVEN - The fun games for the kids at the end of the ride. REASON EIGHT - You can take a picture with your imaginary vehicle at the end either by yourself or with your family! REASON NINE - The amazing real life Chevy vehicles on display. What awesome marketing! We've actually been considering a Chevy and I was happy to have some time to view them without being hounded by a salesperson. Brilliant idea Chevy! REASON TEN - There is NOTHING else like this in all of Disney World! BONUS REASON - This was a trip with my 15 year old sons orchestra class. I knew he would likely want to spend time with his high school friends and not want his kid brother tagging along everywhere. So we gave him that freedom. In turn, we brought my 12 year old sons best friend with us so that he would have someone his age to share in the experience of Disney. This also got me off the hook from standing in line for a bunch of rides I wouldn't like anyway :-) His best friend is actually terrified of coasters, but was convinced to get on test track. He was so glued to that seat that I thought it might require surgery to remove him from it! His face on the pics was priceless! FINAL THOUGHTS I LOVED THIS EXPERIENCE!!!! I loved it for the thrill seeker in me, the kid in me, the father and husband in me, and the guy who just loves cars in me! I wanna hug Disney (and Chevy) for creating this awesome experience! PS - Can I buy a pass to just ride Test Track, Soarin', Tower of Terror, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Everest all day? Just a pass for just those rides that allows me to park hop all day! I don't need anything else! Pretty please? 2017/81 read more

This is the original car ride sponsored by Chevrolet. recently redesigned it is similar in nature to the Cars ride in Disney's California Adventure but it is more technical in nature and less Disney-like There is no side by side racing but the ride is good on its own merits if you are into car designs and engineering. read more

A fun filled Disney ride that takes you through a mock up of a car test track that is set up to see how a car performs under different environments. The line is usually a bit of a wait since it's one of a few rides in Epcot. It usually moves pretty quickly though. You'll go through different "tests" on the cars suspension, speed, brake capability, etc. The bumpy road and of course, the speed test are personal faves. It has been around for awhile but they've made some changes here and there to keep it pretty relevant. Cars seat 4, so if your party is bigger than that, I suggest figuring out seating groups prior to hitting the front of the line. Overall: A- A fun ride that keeps things interesting at Epcot. read more

This is the best ride at Epcot right now. I really like the whole dark ride / roller coaster combo. Definitely worth the wait, and it's usually not even bad. I think the worst we had it over Thanksgiving week was 74 minutes. FP line wait was almost that bad. read more

I was waiting for almost an entire hour in line just to be told that they "encountered technical difficulties" and shut down the ride. These employees should have warned us beforehand that this ride was so unreliable that it could break down within the minute and waste your and your friends and family's time. In the nicest tone I can muster, fuck this ride. read more

Despite being one of only three major flagship rides at Epcot, Test Track is super lame. The line to ride this thing is always crazy long but it's just because people would rather waste their time riding this "thrill" ride instead of being stuck watching some boring Circlevision film about China from 1985. Test Track still feels old, stale and stupid, although it recently underwent an "upgrade." This "upgrade" is laughable. It's still the same old track and ride but with a few "fancier" and more modern effects. I use the term "effects" and "modern" very, very loosely. You basically hop in a car (a cool ride vehicle) while you get to test out all of the amazing ways Chevrolet can make a fantastic car (OnStar is featured prominently in the ride). There's a swerve test, a braking test, and a couple of other way stupid things you have to ride through before you reach the sweet spot: the speed test! This is the most fun part of the ride but it's at the end and is far too short! You speed around the track at high speeds and it really does feel like you are in a race car. Note that the FastPass line is a joke here. There's NOTHING fast about it. Even if the wait time says 20 minutes for FastPass, you need to at least double -- if not triple -- that time. It's never, ever accurate and is always longer (sometimes much longer) than the stated time. Pro tip: check the single rider line for shorter wait times. It's for legit single riders only, but you can split up your party as single riders. Don't abuse my advice, though. Don't be THAT guy. At the exit, representatives from Chevy will be on hand to try to sell you a car. No joke. You have to exit through a car showroom and take care not to express any interest in one of the cars on display (don't open a door or pose for a photo or you will be bombarded by salesmen who take it as an open invitation to pitch their product). read more

Zoom zoom. One of our favorites every year we go. We did the single rider line twice each. Cut out wait time down by about 35 minutes. Hence able to do it twice. The outside speed part is the best. Inside testing part does seem a bit jerky and could be bad if you had a bad back. read more

Test Track - After dark - Amusement Parks Near Me - Bay Lake, Florida

By far, this is my favorite attraction in EPCOT! I've been coming to this attraction multiple times a year for more than 8 years now. This ride has been through such an overhaul over time. Prior to the renovation, it looked like an assembly line on a car production line, and just didn't really fit the future world theme at EPCOT. Now, it's a super modern attraction and is so cool. It is a tier one attraction at EPCOT and you can only pick one tier one attraction for fast passes. And this should be on your list. Typically if you don't have a fast pass, average wait times for standby range from 60-120 minutes. If you do have a fast pass, you're in luck, your wait time is only about 10 minutes. You walk into the ride queue, go into a second room, then into the room where you can design your virtual SIM car. I usually push the automatic door and go further into the attraction to speed up your wait time (if you haven't done the ride, design your car though, it's cool to do it for the first time.) After you go through this, then you load in to your car to go through a series of off road car tests, and then accelerate on to the test track where you hit a top speed of 65 miles per hour. This is the fastest ride at all disney parks, even beating the roller coasters. It's a really cool attraction and a must do. read more

Who would have thought riding in a car could be this fun?! This is my favorite ride at Epcot, even after they changed/"updated" it several years ago. They have done a good job of making the line more interactive and entertaining, which is great because the line here can get crazy. Near the end of the line, you have time to design your own car, which you will get to "test" later! You hop aboard a car and then get to experience all of the different road tests that a car must go through before it can be brought into production. The best road test? Taking it out for a joy ride at 60mph around the Test Track building! That feeling is like nothing else I have ever experience before. read more

Nice fast ride. Fun to create a car and the speed wasn't expected at all but it was thrilling for sure. I would ride it again now that I've experienced it once. It was pretty cool outside so that made the ride rougher bcus the wind was cutting our asses up but I enjoyed the ride. The pictures were self explanatory. I am the one ducking and with my hood on. I was freezing. Cool ride and definitely worth the wait. read more

"REVERSE Back In Time" - During my last two times when I was a little kid in Epcot, we went on this ride. Both of those times included two test proctors who administered the test on TV screens. The 2nd time, my dad's seatbelt got stuck, and the ride started moving. But then the ride suddenly halted with a robotic voice echoing "Seatbelt Inspection FAILURE", and everyone stared at him while an operator assisted him. Yeah, it's no fun to fail that. Sorry Dad! XD "DRIVE Forward To NOW" - After hearing so much about the renovations, I felt really excited to ride. Due to time constraints, my parents & I decided to split so they can go on Soarin' and I can go on here. As I waited in line, someone asked me if I was a lone rider. When I said "Yes", he said I was wasting time in this line & should go to the other line. Surprised, I politely thanked him and left. ***A SINGLE-RIDER EXPERIENCE - 2 HOUR WAIT REDUCED TO 45 MINUTES*** "Before & During Single Wait Time" - If it hadn't been for that guy who told me about this line, I would have wasted my time. When I entered this line, the staff verified me to make sure I was either single or agreeable to splitting up before riding. Because the line moved faster than the regular one, no one had ample time to design cars with the available touchscreens. However, myself & a few others were able to quickly design a car just to say we done so. After that, we were brought into the boarding area, where we checked in and boarded single seats. Now it's time for the fun... "Capability Test" - Once I boarded and passed the seat belt inspection, the testing began. The first test was "Capability". For this, we were connected to OnStar and had to drive through various weather conditions and environments. This included skidding through rain & snow, avoiding a lightning strike, and passing by a city. Next up... "Efficiency & Responsiveness Tests" - For the "Efficiency" test, we were scanned for "optimum eco-efficiency". A nice mix of lights, lasers, & sounds gave us the feeling that we were being scanned. Then we were brought into a cool wind tunnel in favor of the aero-dynamic test. Lastly, with the assistance of another nice mix of lights, lasers, & sounds, a "hyper-spectrum imaging" took place. During the "Responsiveness" test, we accelerated through various hairpin turns with nice, laser-projected trees. We then entered a tunnel to avoid a collision with an 18-wheeler truck (now presented with lasers). Now for the moment we've all been waiting for... "Ready, Steady, GO! - Pushing That Pedal To The Metal!" - POWER TEST!! OH YEAA!! First you stop for a brief moment, and then you immediately FLOOR right to the outside portion of the ride at MAXIMUM POWER!! You make various turns, followed by a long steep left turn at a HIGH SPEED. If you feel like yelling out "YEAH!!!!" during this favorable portion of the ride, then go for it, like what all of us did. Then the ride was over. "The Ride Has Ended, But The Fun Is NOT Over" - Believe it or not, there's a lot to see and do after this fun ride is over. 1st, you see your car's score (I.D.C.). Then you can create a free car commercial and e-mail it to yourself (LOL). After that, you can drive your own car on a small digital track with unique controls (Cool). Following that, you are brought into a showroom with various Chevrolet models on display for viewing (Nice). "Pose With A Vehicle" - Also in that showroom were 3 vehicles (including the CORVETTE), with unique backgrounds for photo-taking with a computer. For this, people had to scan their cards, and submit their e-mail address to receive the FREE digital photos. Once you're scanned, you are given 3 snaps with a certain amount of time to make a pose for each one. You can even sit inside the car if you like. After a period of time before each snap, the computer takes your photo. This was fun. "Gift Shop & Final Thoughts" - They also have a gift shop that sold die-cast models of Chevrolet vehicles (not for me), t-shirts and more. I spent 20 minutes longer than I had originally planned for this attraction. However, if you're a hardcore fan of Chevrolet and/or seeking ideas for a new vehicle, you may end up spending a lot more time than I did here. Overall, I had a lot of fun here. I got a few flashbacks from when I was younger here, and received some new, positive memories. I recommend this attraction to everyone of all ages. "Heads-Up" - If you're pressed for time, and traveling with older family members who don't mind splitting up, then you may want to consider the "Single-Rider" line so you can get to the ride faster than the regular line. Have fun, everyone!!!! read more

Clearly sponsored by Chevrolet evidenced by the build your own Chevrolet concept car and showroom at the end of the ride. This level of marketing is distasteful even for a ride at at a Disney theme park. If one can stomach the heavy marketing, the ride itself is unique and immersive. "Your" vehicle is sent through different climates and driving scenarios. Some scenarios such as the winter climate track were not realistic. It would have been nice to have real snow or ice ( not cost effective). The best part of this ride is the acceleration sequence that quickly launched our vehicle from 0 to 60. A good ride, especially for Epcot, but lacking in many ways. read more

Ended up doing this with a fastpass because Frozen crapped out and they credited our Fastpass for that back with one that could be used on anything. This thing is part Chevy propaganda, part awesome ride. All day I heard the loud test track and wondered exactly WTF the ride entailed. You go in and design a high performance car on a kiosk, then get in a dummy car. It will read your car off your magic band and apply those parameters to be shown in the dummy car. Then you go through a little test course with braking, etc (not that fast, but jerky...) (the ride crapped out in the middle of this and we were sitting there for 10 minutes) then you go do a lap around the track outside where you approach 60mph. You then find out how well your car design fared during the tests. Pretty fun and a good way to wrap up our day at Epcot! read more

Be warned: no matter what you do with your "concept car", it will NOT alter or effect your ride whatsoever. This ride was a major snooze fest letdown , which is what makes the front so misleading. Walking by/standing in line, you hear the roar and speed of the cars zipping by above the entrance, I'd say one every 30 seconds or so. It is the most exciting thing that happens in the ride and it's so brief that it is NOT worth the rest of the ride. You go through a short series of "tests" in some black light rooms before "testing for speed" which is what you hear from the outside of the building. Overall the few seconds of speed and the open air are not enough payoff for what all comes before. Oh-and did I mention the entire thing is brought to you, in part, by Chevrolet? Well I don't need to because THEY WILL STUFF IT DOWN YOUR THROAT THROUGHTOUT THE ENTIRE EXPERIENCE. IN LINE. ON THE BUILDING. WHILE BUILDING YOUR CONCEPT CAR. And then, to add insult in injury, instead of a gift shop at the end, THEY DUMP YOU OUT IN A NEW CAR SHOWROOM. Bad form, it left a really really bad taste in my mouth. This ride is a SKIP if you ask me, and a save your fast pass, totally not worth it. read more

Prepare to go fast! This is a ride where you're in a vehicle that tries to pass as a sports car, and boy do they make it go fast. You may not remember who you are when this ride is over. They also have an option for single rider which means you'll move through the line a lot faster. You'll be split from your loved ones when it comes to riding the ride, but you won't be waiting very long which is the way I like it. The family I sat with truly loved the ride as did I, just not at the same level as them. Overall, it's a pretty cool ride. Get this over to Disneyland! read more

What's there not to love about Test Track. It's always such a fun and exciting ride and it never disappoints. After replacing the beloved World of Motion, Test Track shot out and has been delivering thrills and excitement for almost 20 years. The new edition is really fun as you create your own vehicle and then test it out in the real world on the test course. Lots of fun and the 60 mph speed test outside around the building is a great way to end the fun... read more

The entire attraction comes across as a huge commercial for Chevrolet. In the first part of the ride, you design and customize a virtual car using a touch screen, similar to what you might get to do in a street racing video game. Kind of fun. All the cars bear resemblance to Chevrolet vehicles, coincidentally. After you've created your vehicle, you board a 'car' which takes you on a simulated vehicle testing track, which has NOTHING to do with the vehicle you just created. The ride was too rough for me, and started off with a large right-left jerking movement that was painful and just put me off. After a lot of heavy braking and swerving, you exit the building and circle a track kind of like a racecar. This was my favorite part of the ride. Post-ride, you get to walk through a Chevrolet showroom...oh joy. More opportunity for Chevrolet to promote themselves. The ride wasn't educational or even particularly pleasant and it doesn't seem to fit with the spirit of EPCOT. I don't know what it replaced but I am sad it did. read more

What I love about this ride is that it's fast enough to give you an adrenaline rush, but tame enough where you can talk people who don't like thrill rides into going on it. "Come on! It's just like riding in a convertible going on the interstate!" (that might not be completely true) The revamp they did of this ride was such a success. For the pre-show they used herd you into a small room with a bunch of other people (so much fun being that close to so many other people when it's been 95 degrees outside!) and make you watch a safety video. There wasn't anything wrong with it, but the thought of watching that every time I want to ride this? Blech! Now they usher you into a big room where each group gets its own large touchscreen. You spend the time modifying a futuristic car by changing its shape, wheels, color, etc. A plastic card you're given ties your group to the car you just designed. As you make your way through the ride you find out which car "wins" for the particular feature of the test car that they're "testing". I have no idea if these results are random or not, but it's fun for bragging rights with the strangers you're sharing the ride with. Better luck next time Bob and Sue from Arkansas! The inside portion of the ride has been completely revamped to a "Tron" theme. It's very dark with tons of bright neon lights everywhere. I love it and think it looks great. Once you reach the outside the ride is unchanged. That last section is just about speed, speed, speed. I always find myself laughing uncontrollably at that part. This ride is really popular and can be a bear to get into, but I always think it's worth the wait. I think that it is awesome that Disney does not care if you use your cell phone to take a picture of the picture of you on the ride instead of having to shell out $20 for it. Other theme parks have people standing by the monitors that will swat you on the knuckles with a ruler if they see you doing that. read more

One of the best rides in Epcot, if not the best. The line is usually long so a fast pass is recommended. We personally always take advantage of the single rider option at all rides that offer it. The line went quickly for us and we were to the point where we were allowed to build our vehicle in no time. I went for a truck with all-terrain ability while my fella chose a high performance sports car. Off to the test track we went. The first part of the ride goes through all the basic weather and road condition tests, which are fun. After each test all the vehicles are rated so you know who's are performing the best. The last part is the speed test and that's what every one is looking forward to the whole time. The best part of the ride and it's really so much fun. Definitely a must do ride while at Epcot. read more

Okay, for a girl that does like cars, I do not get the hype of this ride. When I was booking our fast passes I scoured Pinterest looking for tips on fast passes and what rides were considered "must have" for passes since each park does it a bit differently. Test Track was highly ranked for Epcot so i said "okay!" and booked our passes. I don't see why i bothered. We still ended up waiting about 60 minutes from the line entrance outside to the design room line. In that 60 minutes, we walked past the Chevy concept car "Tru", which is still a concept several years after placing it in the first walkthrough room(i scouted the previous pics for that reference...), followed by a few of the Chevy engines. Then you zig-zag up the ramp and into the line for the design room. It's like 4 people per colored line although you remain with your party if you're 2-3 people. You move to the design room after watching a 5-ish minute long video on designing your car and how you'll "race" your concept design at the end. You're given about 10 minutes to create your car - everything from the wheel base and how far apart you want them to be, the aerodynamic structure of the car, tail for speed etc, you chose your color and any additional decals you'd like before the time is up. The next part reminds me of Radiator Racer's in California Adventure. You go out and are loaded up into a little race car with about 6 people in total, so you see why I was skeptical in the whole "racing your own design" thing. The car goes through a series of tests much like what cars through in real life, speed, braking in different conditions, handling turns and whatnot, and the "emissions" the car releases. Then the car heads out for a test run, the track runs over the outside portion of the line. Countdown to green and you're off. Zipping around the track with quick turns, and one or two sudden braking moments. Exit the ride and you can scan your magic band to receive your photo from the ride. Although be warned, scan your band once or twice more after the initial scan to make sure you get your photo. At the end of the ride you walk through a display of Chevy cars and trucks, with a Corvette being on display at the end for a photo op. Can ya tell the ride is sponsored? NO?! Well..it is..it's sponsored by Chevy. All in all, with no bias towards Chevy, I would not waste an early fast pass selection on this one, although if another ride that i had a FP for went down, and this was available, yes I would use it then. It's just not that great haha but i guess it's all a matter of opinion. read more

Test Track always manages to be my favorite ride in the park thanks to its creative elements, and high-speed thrills. The experience first begins with guests entering the Chevrolet Design Studio to design their own Custom Concept Vehicle, which will be tested on four main abilities: Capability (stability and off-road), Efficiency (environmental friendliness), Responsiveness (handling), and Power (top speed). Your vehicles will be scored based on how well they do during the four tests, adding a competitive element to the experience. It's also possible for your vehicle to have the top score of the day. After exiting the ride, go to the "What's Your Score?" section to see how well your vehicle did overall. Before boarding the ride vehicle, it's important to scan your vehicle to the reader on your right. That way you can ensure your vehicle will be tested on the ride. The ride experience itself is quite enjoyable, featuring bright neon lights and special effects, with intense moments of acceleration and sharp turns to boot. This all culminates into the outdoor portion of the ride, the Power Test, where you'll be speeding through banked turns at maximum speed of 64.9 MPH, circling around the building. Overall, Test Track remains my favorite ride at Epcot, and I recommend everyone to go for a spin. Just make sure you use FastPass+ or the Single Rider queue. It's by far the most popular attraction in the park, and the lines can go upwards to an hour and thirty minutes. read more

I loved test track!! There is so much to do on this ride. It starts out with you designing your car...literally everything from the shape to aerodynamics to wheels, engines, hoods, and so on. Then you take your car out n a track and you test it to see how it handles different environments, from rain to mountains. I can't lie it was hella fun. I was also surrounded by two hot girls, the gorgeous girl I came with on my left, and a gorgeous girl from Idaho on my right. It was fun and made a new friend :D anyway if you are in Epcot in Florida this ride is defi Italy one of the rides to do :) Test Track gets a track rippin 5 out of 5 stars :) read more

This ride is pretty cool and fun. It's a pretty long line so try to get a fast pass here. You can design your your car, speed, and stuff. You use your pass or wristband to check in. The ride you sit in is also a shape of a car. The ride goes pretty fast. You feel the wind blowing when it's a bit cold outside. There's some turns and engine noises so it seems you're driving/riding the car. Later, you are able to see who's car is the fastest. One of the recommended rides at Epcot! read more

Love test track, but absolutely adore it at night! If you're looking for a ride filled with surprising thrills, turns, and speed, this is the one for you. You start out by creating your car. Will it be aerodynamic? Harness the power of the sun? Maybe it'll use nuclear power for speed. Is it good for the environment? The power is in your hands! Once it's created, you hop into your "vehicle" with several other folks where it is taste for speed, power, responsiveness, and others. Then, you head to the test track where it's a race... your car against everyone else! I love it!! read more

First time riding since 2012, designing the car was cool but the most memorable parts of the ride were taken away which include the hot/cold rooms and the last second garage opening before the outside portion of the ride. read more

As a bunch of other Yelpers have noted, the wait time for this particular ride is usually always up there. In fact because the wait time is usually always so long I have probably only been on this ride twice. A word to the wise that a 30 minute wait is considered a 'good wait' for Test Track. Having said that, I was lucky enough to be able to go on it the last time I was at Epcot seeing as it was later in the day. And it was honestly a really fun ride. Not to spoil the experience for anyone, but there are a lot of crazy unexpected parts of the ride that make the experience of riding in a car on a track more fun than you'd think it would be. Plus, it is a hybrid indoor and outdoor ride which in my opinion makes it very unique. In a sense Test Track is like a combination of Mr. Toad's wild ride and racing on a NASCAR track. Overall--long wait, fun ride. Not a bad tradeoff. read more

Wow! This ride has made so many incredible changes. I haven't been on this ride in a few years. I was expecting the same test track but wow I was totally surprised. The queue is alot more interactive, so basically you get to design a vehicle on a computer screen and the idea is that you get to test your vehicle on the test track. When you finally ride the vehicle you get to compare the stats of your vehicles performance on each test vs other passengers vehicles. The car definitely felt like it was going alot faster! I was expecting the vehicle to go through the weather tests like in the past and then test collisions (in the past the car would speed up and it looked as though you were going to crash into the wall, but then the walls would open and the car would continue at full speed around the track). Although I missed the collision wall we still had an awesome time. The car felt as though it was going faster and the ride also felt like it was longer. I am so glad we got a fast pass for this because the standby line was over 2 hrs long. A quick note, if you don't mind riding solo, I recommend standing in the single rider line as it tends to go by ALOT faster, you just end up riding with strangers. Buckle up everyone! :-D read more

This is one of my favorite rides at Epcot located in Future World East. The ride has been modified and tweaked throughout the years, but the actual ride still remains relatively unchanged. They seem to change how you pick and design your car each year. Afterwards, it's pretty much a Chevy showroom to try and plant a seed in your head so that you consider buying one of their cars in the future. :) read more

After designing our car to either A: Be as unhealthy for the environment as possible by only giving it power or B: Make it look like Thanos Car, we then enter our Sim Car and we prepare for our journey. We then drive up and head up a hill. We are then told that we are going through a Capability Test. We head down while our car connects to OnStar. We then head to the first launch. We get some good speed before swerving out of control. We then hit the second launch where Thor suddenly realizes that we MADE Thanos Car in the simulation room and decided to punish us with LIGHTNING! Fortunately, we dodge and we complete the Capability Test. We then head into the efficiency test which I'm pretty sure is going to make the simulation feel ashamed of us for making such an unhealthy car and/or Thanos car. We go through several scanners before going into the Responsiveness test. We serve through the road making several turns before we drive past a truck. With the snap of Thanos's Car's finger's though, that truck will cease to exist :) We then hit the best part of the ride. The POWER test! Some icons glow up as we then hit the launch. We are presented with some beautiful lights that sine across the room as we launch out of the building. We continue to build speed as we hit a banked turn and a MASSIVE turnaround. We then go faster and faster and faster as we are going 65 MPH which feels INTENSE. Now it's not X2 intense at all, but we are definitely feeling some forces! After zooming past the show building. We then slow down, enter the building again, and head into the unloading platform. Test Track is without a doubt one of the coolest and best dark rides ever built. Now, I unfortunately never got to ride the old Test Track as I heard it was actually better than the version I've ridden. But I still LOVE this version of the ride. It's cool, you design your own car, it's got cool props and music, and it's just a fun ride overall. Go ride it when you're at Epcot. This ride kicks ass!

This was sooooooo awesome! But get this attraction out of the way FIRST and do the others after. The line is 50/50 inside/outside so if you don't like the sun/heat do this first early in the day. Still totally worth the wait! read more

I fell into an EPCOT trip on a fall weekday just before it closed for the night. Test Track was one of two rides I went on. It had a good-sized line, hmmmm. So what was it like? Think a combination of Indiana Jones, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and Cars. The excitement and tension level is kept high, as you have an idea of what will happen in a few seconds but think you'll be surprised (and sometimes you are!). It's educational, like what happens when GM puts a car through a test run. But it is definitely a thrill ride. Disney's description is that it's the longest, fastest ride in Disney history. It's not long in time, but in distance; at times, you're over 65 MPH, going through steeply-banked curves. That's enough for thrillseekers like me, but Disney and GM threw so much else in there that it's worth the FastPass. The queue is unusual, too. Cars seat three across, so you can line up as either a single rider, two+ riders, or standby (the longest line). Not good if you looove "It's A Small World" (see my review of that for a good laugh!), but a big "Wow!" if you have the need for speed. read more

Even after the redo I'm still really not feeling this ride. The day we were there in mid-December it had rained in the morning so naturally Test Track had a delayed opening of a few hours to get the track ready/dry. If you read one of the big boards that Disney has in EPCOT to let you know about FP times it either said that there were no FP available or that the ride was closed. But naturally when we got to the ride it had just opened and they had the FP machines open for over an hour and of course FP were not unavailable nor were they sold out. Great job Disney to keep information updated. So after our two hour FP wait we come back to the line and it's complete chaos in terms of loading. The cast members were letting people in with FP who had missed there times and people with times for a later window. We also never got to customize a car because the wait to do it was insane. There were so many people at/milling about the stations that is was gumming up the line and the cast members were quasi-yelling at people to "Move it along" and to "Get another FP and try again later because the line is too long to just stand there". Very Disney like. The ride itself was decent even though it started to drizzle and the outside part is less then desirable when you're doing 70MPH with raindrops that feel like tiny daggers hitting your face and eyes. But as others have already reviewed, the outside part is so clipped and short that it's almost done before it begins. This ride is truly a great idea but it's poorly executed and once again Disney's queue management skills could use a hell of a tweak because it's a very long and mismanaged wait for a very cool but super short ride. read more

I'm not really a fan of fast rides and roller coasters, however Test Track really can be a lot of fun. You go slow, then fast, then make a quick turn, rinse and repeat till the grand finale where you get shot outside to go around the parking lot and park until you hit around 65mph, then come in to depart the ride. Once you leave the ride you are let out into an area where you can see a bunch of different Chevy cars in there many showrooms. Let me be clear, this isn't a roller coaster, but a fast thrill ride. They added this feature that in the queue line you can create your own car, then actually test it out versus everyone else in your ride, and see who has the best one in all the various areas (performance, and such). I know they recently added that feature and updated Test Track, so it's pretty cool and dark inside. Don't Wait Longer Than 60 Minutes: It's pretty crowded throughout the day, but this ride does have its lulls. If you don't mind splitting up from your group, going single rider can cut your wait time in half.

This is one of the best attractions at Epcot, along with Soarin'. Sadly, you can't get a Fast Pass for both rides because of the structure of the tiers they use for Fast Pass Pluses, but I hope someday they will remedy that. Test Track can have a crazy long line. It's really best to ride first thing in the morning. The single rider line is also a great option because you get to bypass the majority of the line, but you also skip designing your own car if you do this. Part of the fun of this ride is getting to design a car and then seeing how it compares to other designs during the performance testing. The BEST part of the ride is the end when you race around the track at speeds reaching 65 miles per hour. It's so much fun! Definitely, head to Test Track when you visit Epcot. I never experienced this ride prior to when the renovated it a few years ago, but I definitely love the current version. Wouldn't change a thing (except the crappy Fast Pass situation). read more

Call me nostalgic, but I miss old test track. Sure, the ride is still great, but there is just something missing. The futuristic element removes the fun from about 75% of the ride, whereas beforehand it had actual meaning. Now, the only interesting part is the final loop. Designing cars is an interesting addition to the ride, but it just doesn't have the same appeal for me. Take single rider to avoid the longer lines. The only negative is that you do not get to design your own car. read more

It's one of the better rides at the park but my rating is comparing to other standard roller coasters. This ride is a glorified version of driving with your windows down. read more
