Test Track was one of the rides we had planned on riding during our trip to Disney World. First time, the wait was super long (70 minute wait) and the second time we went, they were out of fast passes and the wait was still long. BF and I tried it a third time on our last day. We went at 8am (extra magic hours) and found out that Test Track was closed until 11:30 am. BF and I were so bummed since we had plans that day already. We ended up getting a fast past and stayed in EPCOT until 11:35. Finally got to ride it and it was just OKAY! I expected a lot more from the ride since the wait is always long and fast passes are out by noon! The best part was the outdoors, but it was only for like 2 seconds. :( Overall, I'd ride it again if the wait isn't so long. I suggest to get a fast past for this one in the morning just to see what all the fuss is about. :) read more

Test Track is a high speed car ride. The attraction allows use to design a Chevrolet car and "test" it during the ride. I loved the last part on the outdoor track. The wind rushing your car as you zoomed through the track was quite exhilarating. The only part I didn't like was the beginning "testing phase". It kind of got annoying and I was just ready for the real thrill part. It typically has long lines but I enjoyed the ride and would recommend either getting a FastPass+ or riding in the single rider line. read more

Fun, fun, fun. You enter and design a concept car from engine to wheels. I think this is one of rides that checks fun for adults and kids. The ride is essentially a six seater convertible that whooshes through a track. Your concept cars are ranked against your travelmates as you travel through different "checkpoints". We couldnt get our magicband to register our car so that was a mild bummer as its also a photo op spot. I found this ride exhilarating but I'm no adrenaline junkie. I just like fast cars. No major drops just high speeds and whips through turns and an acceleration at the end. I would say unless you have fears of speed or jerky movements you'd be fine. This reminded me of driving a mustang, just fun. We used fast passes and I can't wait to go again. read more

Awesome ride. Awesome experience! This is what I expect all Disney rides with a wait time of 45mins or greater to be like. 1st off, get a fast pass. 2nd, read #1 again and make sure you do it. This is an "early in the day ride", ie, don't wait til the end of the day if you don't have a fast pass! This ride is over the top with creativity and is basically a Chevrolet commercial. We did not have a fast pass for this ride, but we went on a non-early entry day and had breakfast reservations at 8 am inside the park, so we were in line for this ride just before 9am. The wait was pretty short. As you walk in, you have several opportunities to practice designing cars and experimenting with how changing the main line of a car affects its performance. Be sure to practice because you will design your own car just before getting on the test track. Next, Enter into a design room in which everyone gets to design their own car. Make it your favorite color, make it big, small, fast, eco friendly... Make it your own. Scan your magic band and the car is saved to your account. Next, as you are getting into the test car, scan your band again, and your car is raced against the other riders in your test track car, so try to make your car well-balanced in all of the areas so you can place well in the races. The experience does not end with the ride. NEXT, step into the extended Chevrolet commercial and photograph yourself in some of Chevy's most desired vehicles. There is also a race track game in which you may scan your magic band and then race your car against other Disney guests. An extremely fun experience. We spent a lot of time at this ride. It was well worth it. Return Factor:100% read more

The ride is a fairly basic concept - you're "testing" out a new type of car under different conditions. It's an excuse to jostle you around and send you into high speeds. But the recent "re-imagined" Test Track was one of the most enjoyable parts of my 2015 Disney trip. You enter a room pre-ride that has a bunch of touch screens, where you (or you and a fellow rider) create your own car concept. Being the ridiculous minded people we are, each of me and my friends made the dumbest looking, most impractical cars possible. We laughed to tears at how dumb our cars were. Then you get to see how they would perform on the track! After each "test" on the ride, they send up a rating for all the car concepts the riders in the current vehicle created. We cheered and booed and our cars either won or lost on each test. At the end, my car (a green monster truck with sparkle paint and what appears to be boats for tires and multiple jet propulsion engines on it) came in first place... somehow. We all died with laughter at this result. Then AFTER the ride, you get to test out the handling of your concept car in a mini-game against other racers, take pictures with your concept car on a giant screen, and even make a commercial for your concept car! All of these activities were hilarious, and we all enjoyed them more than it seemed anyone else (including the children) were. We did it a second time and laughed again and again at more awful concepts. No one seemed to be getting into it but us... so have fun with it and make some ridiculous cars! read more

Test Track - My ridiculous concept car! - Amusement Parks Near Me - Bay Lake, Florida

Spectacular experience at Epcot that I highly recommend. Build your own super car and then put it to the test in a virtual simulation which is exciting and fun for all ages. I had no idea what this was about going in only that it was highly recommended and to get a fast pass for the ride from my wife who ironically didn't end up going on. My 7 year old loved this attraction and I did too. One of the highlights from our trip to Disney World and one that is worth your time. Drivers.. start your engines! 5 Yelp stars in my book and an all systems go for Test Track at Epcot of Disney World. read more

Just boring and takes too long to get to the actual ride. I don't want to design a Chevy I just want to ride on the car. Music is incredibly annoying read more

My favorite ride at WDW. It is actually the fastest ride too. It's not too jerky and has a smooth feel to the ride. There is s design your own car during the line part do its a fun way to have a contest in the family read more

This ride was awesome. To create your own car and then, digitally, have it compete with other members in your ride was quite unique. Making your own commercial with your car afterwards and emailing the video ad was over the top. read more

TRASH, mine as well call it "hey wait in line to not design a car track". The point of test track is to design a car and see how well it compares to other rides. Instead it's wait in line to not design anything and ride a not thrilling ride I have no emotional investment in. Terrible 0/10 would recommend! read more

Test Track - Not being able to design a car but still have a touch screen - Amusement Parks Near Me - Bay Lake, Florida

Can we all just collectively agree that this is the most fun ride in the parks? Ok, maybe it might not be for people who don't like fast moving rides; but if you enjoy a moderate amount of thrill, this is the ride for you! For starters, the solo rider is your friend! You can turn a 50-70 minute wait into a 10-15 minute wait easily. As you go into whatever line you choose, you can use the kiosks along the way to design your ideal car. You want to try to balance the different categories and your concept will be "tested" during the ride, so give it some effort. The ride itself will take you on an immersive adventure, just like you're living in a REAL LIFE ADVERTISEMENT *wow* *surprised emoji* But you'll forgive the On-Star and Chevy product placements once you hit the open tracks and turn up the speed from jolty to FAST miles per hour per second per kilometer! With the solo rider line so short, you may even want to give it some more runs ;) read more

My youngest daughter had an absolute blast on this ride . She still talks about it to this day . The wait admittedly sucked , but in the end the look on her face was well worth the wait . The speed test is by far the most enjoyable part . Hold on and have fun ! read more

Test track is all right. You are able to design a car before you go in and you will see how the choices you make affect the performance of your designed vehicle. A little blah to me. The ride itself is fun. You zoom around the track into the outside and the most fun for me was seeing the reaction of the smaller kids. They really seemed to love it. Overall, it gets just an all right from me. read more

This ride is very overrated. We have waited an hour and 30 mins. The ride broke down twice and the ride is Notorious for breaking down and closing. Don't waste your time with this ride! Disney should do a better job keeping up with the rides! Overrated and Untaken Care of!!!! Very displeased. read more

Super fun ride! Kids for all ages would enjoy. As adults we loved this ride! Custom make your own car and as you're in the ride your racing the other models that the other people in the car made. Favorite ride in Epcot! Fun photo ops when you're out of the ride as well! read more

This ride is super fun. It is a lot like cars land in Disneyland California. You race around a track and it seems to go relatively fast at some points I was even slightly scared. It is a short wait on a weekday on off-season. It was an intriguing ride and it's good for kids of all ages and adults. read more

If you like cars and speed, this is a don't miss ride. First you build your car, then you test it in different elements during the ride. You're grouped so it's one car per party, but once you're in the build room, if there are empty stations you can move and build your own individual cars. On the ride, they save the best for last, speed! Every time I ride, which is every visit, which is usually once a week, people of all ages get off the ride with a look of excitement and talking about how much they loved it. Tip: If you've done the ride before and want to skip the car building part, you can continue through the exit doors, leading to the next part of the ride. read more

Going 65 miles per hour when there are no windows or roof on your car feels really, really fast. We have so much fun designing our car, especially the little ones love it. The ride pictures never come out so good for the females cause all your hair is blowing everywhere. It's fast, it fun, it's funny. Make sure you buckle in because you're in for one fast ride! read more

Use your fast pass. Got on in under 20 minutes and the stand by line was an hour and 40 minutes. We had a blast designing our car and then testing it. Our car was powerful. It was a total blast. You can make a commercial for your car after and then have it emailed to yourself. It was fun! read more

Probably one of the best rides in Epcot in my opinion. Why?.... Because it has interactions and "personal customizations' to the ride which is cool especially for kids. It ends really well with a speedy finish.. something to compare with the Cars ride in Cars land at the DisneyLand LA location. They take you to several stations to customize your car by its power, responsiveness, durability and efficiency! They also take you to these touch pad screens where you can change how your car looks by exchanging tires, bumpers, shape etc etc...this is a great way to make wait time seem shorter because of everyone being occupied! During the race you travel through the race track, racing the car model you designed with others in your car as it is saved on your magic band! Neat technology! The past portion of the ride when tasting the power of the cars is actually pretty fast... Faster than the cars ride in cars land LA! One thing that I think makes this ride stand out is because it tells a story rather than just a ride with loops and dips! After you exit the ride, there is a room full of interactive mini games which are car themed where you can play against everyone! Oh also.. Sponsored by Chevrolet.. Great way for advertisement I must say!... Overall... A neat ride which should be knocked out during early hours or with fast pass because the wait can get crazy! Bravo test track!! read more

I thought I would never get a chance to ride this one because it had closed down for updates and then I never got there in time for a fast pass. It is such a popular ride, and now I see why. I really enjoyed creating the vehicle and then taking it for a test drive.really great, enjoyable ride. I only wish the last part, which includes speed lasted a little longer! read more

This ride is so cool you get to design your own futuristic car here my son wants to ride this ride so bad by the time we got here he feel asleep...maybe next time... that just means another full price ticket for Disney smh read more

I love the changes they made to this attraction. It was an awesome ride before the changes, but it's even better now! I really like that you are in charge of designing your car. I found the new version of test track to be way better than the original! It's a much smoother ride and just all together more enjoyable! If you're at Epcot and looking for something fun and fast to ride, give this one a try!! read more

Now this ride in Epcot was pretty cool! At the start of the ride while you are waiting in line you will come across several Kiosks' that will allow you to pick a car to your liking there were about 8 if i remember correctly. After you are done saving your design you will be put into a car with some other passengers and go through a test run. I believe the 4 catagories were, Performance, Eco friendly, something else and speed. Each part of the test track was simulated to test one of the four attributes. Of course the speed test was pretty cool cause it just accelerates and you go through a short track at a high speed! At the end there are some display cars that you can look at and take pictures with while changing the backgrounds to your liking. 3 photos are taken and have about a 10 second delay between each so be ready! At this time you will also find out how your car did during the test. My car beat my girlfriends by I think 5 points woohoo! The line can get pretty long so fast passes may be needed! Have Fun! VROOM! read more

Oh my gosh what a WASTE of time! If you want to wait over an hour (or waste one of your precious fast passes) for this ride, be my guest but don't say I didn't warn you. If you don't like fun, then you might enjoy this exhibit. I hesitate to call this a 'ride' because there's so much more to it, but not in a good way. Step 1. Wait in line. A loooong line. Step 2. 'Design' a test car on a computer screen. Stats on power, efficiency, handling, etc. are shown so you can attempt to optimize your 'car'. Please note there is a time limit, and you might run out of time before getting through all the options. Step 3. Wait in another line. Step 4. Get in a 'car' that's somehow supposed to handle like your test car. Not sure how this works, because they put 6 people in each car, with up to 6 different 'designs' in each car. Go through the track and then shoot around the outside pretty fast- up to 65 mph. Step 5. Look at Chevy cars and trucks and then keep redesigning your 'car' to try and make it better. I felt like it was more of a way for Chevy to get free design services than anything. Also, it's a lot of waiting for about 15 seconds of fun. Skip this if possible. read more

Cool concept, but the ride itself, meh. It's like me driving on a reg. I prefer Cars ride in California Adventure over this one... but again, very cool concept. Solid 3 stars. My babies love it. Which is the only reason I will wait in the crazy long line, the same reason I'll wait in line at Tomorrowland Speedway. This mama bear will do anything for her kiddos... If you don't need to sit with people you know... opt for single rider line! read more

Kudos for making patrons think what they are getting into. I have never owned a Chevy in my life. And having heard such negative things about their cars and such - this ride made me believe that maybe GM isn't as bad a car manufacturer as I used to think it was. But anyways.... Coming strictly to this ride - I would like to describe it as - intelligent, educational, thrilling and fun. Now that's a tough combination to achieve. The ride is divided into 2 parts. The initial phase is when your team gets to design your vehicle. The design covers aspects like exterior design, power, efficiency, and such (I don't remember the exact terminology). A high tech touch screen guides you through the process for your allotted time. When done with the design, it is time for some real action. You sit in your car and experience all the various aspects that you designed your car to succeed in, on a fun race track. The rest is for you to experience and enjoy. I cannot disclose the different twists and turns you go through all the way to the exhilarating end of the high speed action on the track. So no spoilers here. Like Space Mission, this ride is highly recommended if you are in Epcot. read more

They recently updated Test Track, and it's definitely a bit different than the last version. In this update, you're asked to design a car and pick the features you'd like it to have. You put your design on a card, which is later scanned once you're about to step on to the ride. The problem is, I had a difficult time seeing what the design I made had to do with the actual car. It didn't seem like I was riding in the car I designed, so what was the whole point? Perhaps it was something that would have made more sense had I stuck around after the ride to use the interactive games. Pros for the ride are that it is fast as ever and definitely fun, especially when you're going around the open air track. Cons are that they took the "test" part out of the ride, and it's not quite as fun anymore in that sense. The ride tells you it is testing the 4 different components, but it doesn't appeal to the senses as much anymore. I basically just felt like we were starting, stopping, and moving around turns. In the last version, you could feel extreme cold and heat on the car, feel the car running over rough terrain, etc. It's worth going on, but I liked the last version better. A tip for anyone interested: My dad and I decided to get in the single rider line rather than waiting in line for over an hour. The thing about the single rider line is that you are not going to be sitting together. We assumed we'd be in separate cars, but we actually ended up in the same car sitting in two different rows! Might be worth doing for those of you who don't mind sitting apart and don't want the wait. read more

I have been going to Disney ever since I can remember. That being said, Test Track has always been one of my favorite rides. I remember one of my favorite things about it was waiting in line because I liked to look at all of the cool stuff, especially the giant hammer things that would hit the dummies. To me it always felt like, well, a real test track kind of thing. It was slightly outdated but to me that will always be the real Test Track. Fast forward to present time and you will see that it is now updated and sponsored by Chevy. Of course when I heard that they had change the entire look of the ride, a little piece of my inner child died. Test Track went from being this cool little industrial testing type of feel to basically one big Chevy showroom/commercial. Waiting in line has become boring now because there's nothing to really look at except a couple ugly prototype cars and watching the same video on repeat over and over again. However, I will give credit where it's due and say that the design your own care feature is pretty cool. It makes the ride more interactive and it's fun to compete against other people in the car. The ride itself is still the exact same ride, except now it's basically one big light show. They also have gotten rid of the hot and cold rooms which again broke another little piece of my heart. I guess it's fair to say that I am only giving this ride 3 stars because of my feelings towards the original ride, and I would agree. Before it actually deserved the name Test Track because it fit with the theme. If you had never been on the ride before the remodeling and update, then I would understand why you may like it a lot, but for me it will always be the runner up to the old Test Track. read more

Test Track is awesome! I go to EPCOT a lot as I do have cast passes. I love the imagination and designing a car with my sister. All the different tests are entertaining and amusing in their own ways. At night, it looks so cool! You have so much control! A bad thing is the line is very long, usually 100-150 minutes for the normal and 30-60 for the single rider line, and fast passes are rare. It is easy for people to skip you in a few places, so hold your spot! They have too big of a fast pass limit, probably due to angry people wanting passes, so either way, lines are long. In conclusion, Test Track is most likely the best ride at EPCOT. read more

Rode "my Chevy concept" 3 days ago and it was okaaaayyyy. When we got off the ride we were impressed but we just had a long day of walking the World Showcase and we were desperate for some thrill. The next day when we were talking about it, we decided that it wasn't all that. Didn't like the stop and go where it featured different curves and a quick stop. Really enjoyed the speed test because we were sent outside and it WAS fast but then it was over. I wanted more and it wasn't worth standing in line again. Totally agree with a previous review from Ashley M. it was difficult to see how your concept performed. You were able to scan your card so it seemed cool but then that was it. I never saw my concept again. Chevy did a great job on showcasing their vehicles in a showroom after you got off the ride and when you were on the ride during the speed test. Only thing is there wasn't any "concept" cars. I've seen better at an Auto Show. read more

It's now a crazy, fantasy sim of a car design ride. I'm glad it's GM instead of some lame company (you can focus on who that is), because the car display at the end is cool. You'll be jerked around and whipped thru the paces-your hair will stand on end and your body will wonder what happened-but you'll have a blast! read more

Test Track has been a staple at EPCOT for a long time now and when it opened it was definitely a top notch ride that took advantage of modern technology to speed around a test track with bumps and curves and fast banks in and out of doors. I was definitely a fan when I was younger and re-tried it recently following the modernizing face lift of the facility. To my eyes, it seems like the big changes were superficial and attempting to engage the people who were waiting in line by having them design a vehicle that would ostensibly be tested on the track during their ride. Big focuses on eco-friendly and the like of course but the ride is the same regardless of what you do during the design so who cares. The ride itself was polished up with that sleek futuristic shine and while in many way it looks nicer, the edges were taken away from the ride including the bumps and some of the harder braking and turning sections. It just feels a bit dumbed down and PC for whatever reason. I know it is a big GM showcase in the end but before it just sat better with me than it does now. I'd ride it again but would have almost no interest in waiting more than a few minutes to do so. Better off riding The Land again! read more

What a great attraction! Thank you WDW and Epcot for having this attraction first, so that Cars Land and Radiator Springs Racers has a model to go off of! The design your own car aspect is neat, and the upload the specs is pretty awesome.. I really love the whole thing. Since this was for fun and entirely fake, we went with "more power, more speed, more torque, low efficiency (are we to believe we should care about global warming or something while on vacation? LOL) and even the single riders that came in our car admitted that they'd never gone that fast before. LOL! That's how the West Coast plays! read more

Why do people like this ride? What is the appeal of Test Track? For some reason the line is always huge, but they have a single rider line. I wish Disney would do that with other rides like Space Mountain where people waiting in line watch the constant stream of vehicles go by with one or two empty seats. If you don't use a Fast Pass or the single rider line, you do get funneled into stations where you can design the features your car will have. Except you're getting into a ride with six other people. How is that car going to have your features over someone else's? The ride itself consists of a short series of switchbacks with some sudden stops in the form of brake checks, but aren't particularly jerky. After a few of those you do go outside to the track itself where the car zooms out on a speed test. It moves fast, and that's it. It doesn't last long enough or offer enough gee forces to be exciting. This ride is neither thrilling nor interesting. read more

I love this ride! The last time I rode it was 2008 and it was much different then. This new version allows you to design a car and makes it very interactive. To avoid a long wait, we chose to break up in single riders. It was such a good move. Wait was max 5 minutes! You start indoors and go through a bunch of tests. All really fun. Then you go "outside". Even more fun in the rain! You exit through an area showing several new and concept cars (all US made), view a (not so flattering) photo of yourself and then the gift shop. Definitely do this one! Even if it has a 40 minute wait! read more

"Welcome to the Sim Track". Although the semi recent makeover has attracted a lot of criticism, I actually LOVE it. I'll give a quick rundown of the ride experience and tell you why it's so amazing. Before you even get on the ride, you design your own car! Although you don't ride it, you do get to test it out. It's just adds a whole other level onto the attraction. Once on the ride, you first enter the Sim Track. After riding it a few times, it almost feels like being in a computer testing software--you enter and go up a hill with pixels and futuristic images displayed on the walls. There are lots of neon lights, almost like Tron. You then test your vehicle in rain and downhill conditions, which is not as fun as the old version. But the next part where you test the braking ability is exciting. You speed toward a wall before losing grip. You then do it again, but you almost hit a lighting bolt before you regain control. It's feels much faster than the old version--darker and no points of reference. After this is the efficiency testing. It's pretty cool, but not as cool as the hot and cold rooms. However it is cool seeing the aerodynamics of your car. The next part is my personal favorite: handling. You navigate hairpin turns along seemingly laser projected laser trees. It's very cool, and there is a surprise in the tunnel! You ten proceed to speed testing, where you go 65 mph. It feels much faster! Finally, you reenter the show building and you get off the ride. You can then see who got the highest score for their car--just scan your Magic Band! Overall, this is an awesome ride! There is usually a long line, but just get a Fastpass or use single rider. Just don't be afraid to get your hair messed up! read more

The initial waiting area has some fairly interesting concept car stuff to help pass the time. You then move into a design area to build your concept car. The idea is that your design is put through various tests on the test track. All the stuff leading up to the ride itself is only OK, it is the ride on the test track that makes the wait worthwhile. The outside portion with the relative high speed and banked turns is a blast. I wouldn't wait more than 40 minutes to go on this. read more

Test Track - Amusement Parks Near Me - Bay Lake, Florida

Absolutely breathtaking refurbishment of a classic Epcot attraction! No longer are you a Guest getting a tour of a GM test facility. Now you ARE the designer and get to customize your own car for the test track ahead. Touch screen computers are your tool and there are endless options to compete against your friends and other Guests. Choose FASTPASS for a shorter wait, but be warned that you only get to pick a pre-made car. The hair-raising turns and twist are still there, but with a great new overlay using state-of-the-art technology to really make for some awesome looking scenes. This is a ride that you cannot miss on your visit and will certainly be fun for everyone in your family! read more
