Description And Comments

This attraction is expected to reopen in Fall 2012 as a Chevrolet-themed automobile design experience.

Visitors test a future-model car at high speeds through hairpin turns, up and down steep hills, and over rough terrain. The six-guest vehicle is a motion simulator that rocks and pitches. Unlike the Star Tours simulator, however, the Test Track model is affixed to a track and actually travels.

Though reader comments on Test Track have been mixed, most like it.

From a Westford, Massachusetts, family:

Test Track was the favorite ride at WDW of all five members of our party. Even my mom (age 56), who has always refused to go on roller coasters, was coaxed onto Test Track and loved it. Five stars from one preschooler, three over-30s, and a senior citizen!

But a Monona, Wisconsin, couple were somewhat underwhelmed:

Based on the loud whoosh coming from the ride, the buildup in the preshow area, and your comments, I expected a much more intense experience. Compared to the Tower of Terror, Test Track is a Sunday drive in the park.

Touring Tips

Some great technology is at work here. Test Track is so complex, in fact, that keeping it running is a constant challenge. When it's working properly, it's one of the park's better attractions. But as a London, Ontario, mom reports, "working properly" seems to be a challenge:

Test Track breaks down more than any other ride I've ever seen. We went back there over and over again, got Fastpasses, got in line, and then had to get out. Fastpass lines would have a 40-minute wait because no one got to ride at the proper time. What's wrong with that ride?

If you use Fastpass, be aware that the daily allocation of passes is often distributed by 4:30 p.m. If all the Fastpasses are gone, another time-saving technique is to join the singles line, a separate line for individuals who do not object to riding alone. The objective is to fill the odd spaces left by groups that don't fill up the ride vehicle. Because there are not many singles, and because most groups are unwilling to split up, singles lines are usually much shorter than the regular line.

Test Track Wait Times

This chart shows you roughly how long you'll wait for Test Track when you visit on a day with a given Epcot Crowd Level. The blue bars represent the average "peak" wait time (that is, how long the line will at its busiest). The bottom and top black lines represent the range of peak wait times to expect (for you fellow nerds out there: it's the 5th percentile and 95th percentile of peak wait times). Please note that these are estimates, and for a better forecast for your travel dates, see Test Track Wait Times.
