Test Track breaks down more often than almost any ride in Walt Disney World—roughly 4 out of every 10 days of operation. It’s also one of the attractions most likely to be down at park opening. Ask a cast member whether it’s operating before you trek to this corner of the park.

When it’s working properly, it’s one of the park’s better attractions—but for this London, Ontario, mom, such instances never materialized:

Test Track breaks down more than any ride I’ve ever seen. We went back there over and over again, got in line, and then had to get out.

A repeat visitor from East Aurora, New York, suggests that all is not lost when the ride malfunctions:

If the ride breaks down, tell a cast member. They’ll most likely give you a slip that allows you to skip the line and ride again. This happened to us twice during the busiest time of the year, and we rode again with no problem.

Because most groups are unwilling to split up, the single-rider line (when it’s offered) is usually much shorter than the regular standby line.
