Test Track
is one of Disney's newest and fastest attractions. The story is
that you're going to take a car on its first test run. You have
to go through all different tests for the car such as the hill
climb test, the suspension test, the brake tests, the steering
test, a crash test, and the most fun the speed tests. From the
outside you can see the cars speeding around the building that
looks like a giant tuna fish can.
In the queuing
area there are a lot of different min-test going on. It is very
loud in annoying the queuing area. After the queuing area you
go and view a short pre-show. They just introduce you to what
exactly you'll be doing and they make the test up there. After
the queuing area, you proceed into another short line before boarding
you cars. The cars seat 6 people, 3 in front and 3 in back. After
boarding you car, you start with the hill climb test. Once up
the hill you go through the suspension test, which is just riding
over bumps in the road. Then you'll come up upon the braking tests.
You first brake without any anti-lock brakes. You spin out all
over the place it's really fun. Then with the anti-lock brakes
on, you come to a controlled stop. Next are the steeting and handeling
tests. You speed around sharp turns, avoiding barriers along the
way. After that, you line up for the crash test. I won't give
this part away; you'll have to ride it yourself! After the crash
test, you head outside for the speed tests. This is the best part
of the ride. You speed out the back and around the building hitting
speeds of 65 mph! With that, you're done all your tests for that
car and of course you exit into the gift shop.
I think this
attraction to be one of the best in Epcot. The only downside to
it is that it breaks down a lot, and it takes an hour to get it
running again. Other then that, the whole ride is great. Some
people seem to find it boring, that it's anything but boring.
It keeps getting exciting with every test, and the best part the
speed test is the absolute best. You may say that 65 mph is a
car isn't that fast, but when you ride it you'll see. 65 mph is
fast!!! This ride should be done first thing when you get into
the parks, and the same with EE days. Don't miss this attraction!!!

"test
track is great. since it is basically the only thrill ride in
Epcot it is always packed. my friends and i always go in the singles
line because the stand bye line is close to 2 hours whenever we
went. one tip if you want pose for the picture it is right before
you almost hit the wall, before the outside speed test, not during
the speed test. not many kids were on this ride. Mostly adults
and older kids. the fun thing is riding with the drunks that just
finished the world showcase "drinkin' 'round the world," definitely
some funny moments. Also check your picture you'll see a hidden
Mickey on the floor behind your car." Kevin, ma.
