Attractions: Test Track

Attraction Quick Facts

• Riders must be at least 40 inches tall.
• FASTPASS is available. I recommend grabbing a pass, then heading next door to Ellen's Universe of Energy until your ride time comes up.
• The ride is both indoor and outdoor... warm and cold.... bumpy and smooth... It's a little bit of everything :).
• The que winds through a GM testing facility where you can learn how vehicles are made and tested to be as safe as possible. There are some pretty neat things to check out while you wait.
• There are six passengers per car. Since the most frequent party size is four people, if you split your party into pairs, or ride as singles, you're more likely to move to the front of the line, as they're always asking for parties of two to fill the empty seats. (Trust me, it works!)

This is one of my favorite rides at Disney. You step into the shoes of a crash test dummy and take a wild ride through automotive safety and durability. I won't give you too much of an on-ride tour for this one, because there are a few things that are better left as a surprise, but I will tell you that you will NOT be bored on this little road trip.
You'll test everything from brakes to steering to shocks to speed. At first, the tests are simple, not-to-thrilling experiments with different road surfaces and environments, followed by a winding road course of brake and steering tests. After that, it really gets fun ;).

What I really love about this attraction is that before and after the ride is just as interesting as the ride itself, especially if you love cars. I mentioned earlier that throughout the que there are exhibits to look at that show about vehicle design, testing and safety. There are more similar exhibits after you exit the ride, as well as an entire showroom of new GM vehicles. Here you can also see a glimpse of the future of automotives with the hydrogen car.

Another plus: If it's a hot day, the little ones will also love the car wash themed mist station just outside the building.

I know this is a really really short attraction overview, but like I said, some things are just best experienced :). Bottom line, this is one of Disney's best attractions. It's fun, family friendly, and oddly educational. You'll love it!
