Test Track puts you through the paces of a rigorous testing process designed to push you and your vehicle to the max.
After you’re safely strapped into your car, you’ll go up a series of steep inclines and over some rough terrain. Next, you’ll get a chance to test out the automatic braking system with some high speed runs and quick stops. Afterwards you’ll get a chance to catch your breath as you experience some environmental tests (you know, heat, cold and…acid??).

Next up is a series of hairpin turns and then what looks to be the final test-a high speed crash into a concrete wall. What’s that, you don’t want to be a crash test dummy? Too late now! Your seemingly soon-to-be-crushed vehicle races towards the wall, but at the last moment the wall drops away and you’re outside for the high speed runs. Racing through banking curves your speed increases steadily until you hit a top speed of 65 mph on the final straightaway (but it feels much faster than that) before screaming through the final curve and back to the testing facilities.

Whew!

Magical Moments

  • It’s nice to know that the testing facilities are professionally run with every proper precaution taken as you make your way…HEY, WATCH OUT FOR THAT TRUCK!!! (Yes, that’s what they call an Evasive Maneuver!)
  • The indoor portion of the ride may be fairly easy-going (except for a few hairpin turns!), but it’s the final test that will get your heart pumping. Your car will quickly speed up to 65 mph, making this the fastest attraction in all of Walt Disney World!
  • After you complete the last (and fastest) high speed turn, look up to see an infrared image of your car (yep, that’s you, the one that’s all red!).

Hidden Mickeys & Other Secrets

  • See if you can find the logo for World of Motion, the original attraction at this location. Here’s a hint: look for the trash cans outside the building!

Did You Know...?

  • At 65 mph, Test Track is the fastest attraction in Walt Disney World, even surpassing the speeds of the Tower of Terror, the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster and Expedition Everest.
  • Due to the lengthy start up time and nightly maintenance required to keep Test Track operating smoothly, the attraction is usually kept running 20 or more hours every day.

Touring Tips

  • You must be 40” to ride. Test Track is actually fairly tame as thrill rides go. It’s fast and exciting but not especially frightening. There’s nothing that should give you any problems in terms of motion sickness, but if you have back issues or other medical conditions be aware that the beginning portion of the ride features a few sudden stops and some bumpy terrain.
  • Test Track is the most popular attraction at Epcot, so FastPass+ is usually a necessity. You can also try and ride first thing in the morning before the crowds arrive.
  • Another way to avoid long waits is to get in the Single Riders line. This line is usually half that of the regular standby line (sometimes the wait may only be a few minutes). The only thing to be mindful of is that you won’t be able to ride with other members of your party.
  • As you make your high speed approach to the crash test wall, smile! Your picture is being taken (you can see it at the conclusion of the ride and be able to purchase a souvenir copy if you wish).
