- TEST TRACK at EPCOT: The Original Ride Experience 1998 - 2012
Test Track is a high-speed slot car thrill ride manufactured by Dynamic Attractions and located in World Discovery at Epcot, Walt Disney World Resort, Florida. The ride is a simulated excursion through the rigorous testing procedures that General Motors uses to evaluate its concept cars, culminating in a high-speed drive around the exterior of the attraction.
The attraction soft-opened to the public on December 19, 1998, after a long delay due to problems revealed during testing and to changes in design. As a result, the attraction officially opened on March 17, 1999. Test Track replaced the World of Motion ride, which closed three years earlier in 1996. Originally, guests rode in "test vehicles" in a GM "testing facility" through a series of assessments to illustrate how automobile prototype evaluations were conducted. The highlight of the attraction is a speed trial on a track around the exterior of the building at a top speed of 64.9 miles per hour (104.4 km/h) making it the fastest Disney theme park attraction ever built.
Test Track closed for refurbishment on April 15, 2012, and re-opened on December 6, 2012. It is now sponsored by the Chevrolet brand instead of General Motors as a whole. Guests now design their own car in the Chevrolet Design Studio. Then they board a "Sim-Car" and are taken through the "digital" testing ground of the "SimTrack". Throughout the ride, guests see how their designs performed in each test. After the ride, guests can see how their car did overall, film a commercial, race their designs, and have a picture taken with their own virtually designed vehicle with a chosen backdrop in the background.
Test Track is located in World Discovery, formerly known as Future World East. On September 9, 2023, it was announced that Test Track would be receiving another retheming.

Seeing this brings back so many memories. I worked at Disney 99-00 so seeing all the old footage of the millennium celebration speaks to me! Younger people will never know what they missed out on before everyone’s face was buried in cell phones and social media plus no crazy vloggers!
Todd, That is so true of today! Thanks for watching and commenting
The original test track look is still my fave. But, hoping with the 2nd re-vamp coming to it'll bring back the OG feeling!?
finger crossed 👍
Excited to see the nods to World Of Motion
I think the first version was more interesting aesthetically, even the line was great.
I was on it.
I haven't been on it before unfortunately but hoping to go on it in June when am there I've enjoyed watching your videos over past few months 👍
Thanks for watching my videos, Have a great time when you visit in June
I will always love World of Motion. The original Test Track was a downgrade from the dark ride, but still way more fun than the bland, stripped down sim-track version. I've been a passholder since the early 1990s, and decided not to renew in 2021. WDW is in a downward spiral.
We had some friends that went on the first one for the first time when she saw the test car crash and we faced the crash wall she started to panic and grabbed her hubbys hand almost breaking the bones in until the wall opened up she got so mad at us for scaring her we had a great time telling this story over and over again ha
great story lol

A ride that’s going to so have a second unnecessary makeover soon. It’s was better before, it’s okay now, but there’s so many attractions in Epcot that are in dire need of attention before it.
totally agree with your there Patrick 👍
But another company isn’t going to pay for the other rides. This is happening because they’re not really paying for it.
The original feit more realistic! Epcot is becoming more science fiction!🙄
agreed 👍
