About Test Track

You become the test dummy at a GM proving ground. The guest buckle up in 6 passenger cars through bumps,brake test, temperature changes,banked curves, and the barricade test. One of Epcot's most thrilling and fun-filled attractions. You go up to speeds of 65 mph. Making it the fastest attraction that Disney has ever created. This can draw some of the lonest lines in Epcot so I suggest the FastPass or the single-riders line if you don't mind riding on your own. -- Last edited by Christopher Combs

Great high speed finish...concealing the cars to the outside would be a great way to build up even more anticipation as this one tends to have a long line. - Christian Baggett

Theming is okay. A little more camouflage to conceal the track in the indoor parts might be an idea. Other than that Test Track is a fun ride with an exhilarating spin on the track in the final phase. I like it - Rob P

This is a pretty cool ride, I enjoyed it a lot. The idea is really original, and my favorite part is at the end where they test mileage. - Scott Harris

We enjoy the last blast around the outside track; be prepared for breakdowns though although Dinsey do give you a fastpass if you are in line at the time. - Mark Moore

Mediocre. This gets worse every time I ride. Constant breakdowns, long lines, corny elements (especially that ridiculous ABS portion), and a very disappointing "speed" test all combine to produce what I've come to expect from GM - mediocrity. - Joshua Counsil

My favorite ride at Epcot and one of the best in all of Disney World. This ride has great theming and the last part of the ride is very fun. The first section of the ride with the different car tests are interesting and well themed. The highlight of this ride is the speed test which is exciting. Even the waiting areas is one of the best. This has become a Disney classic and can't wait to see it on the west coast as the Cars themed Radiator Springs ride at DCA. This ride is extremely popular and forms long lines almost immediately when the park opens. Waits of up to 90 minutes are common at peak times but diminish as people start going into World Showcase in the evening. Anyway just to be sure get a fastpass as they do run out fast or ride the last two hours when the wait will be around 20 minutes. Whatever you don't miss this awesome Disney experience. - Manny Barron
