Test Track

Did you know?

  • Test Track changed to its current format in 2025, following a second updated version that debuted in 2012. The original attraction opened in 1999.
  • General Motors currently sponsors Test Track. General Motors sponsored the pavilion, called “World of Motion” before Test Track’s debut, from opening day, October 1, 1982.
  • Both the queue and the actual ride course of Test Track exude a colorful, futuristic vibe. In fact, Disney fans have compared the setting to that of the Tron movies (1982 and 2010).
  • Test Track was the first attraction at Walt Disney World to offer a single-rider queue. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and “Expedition Everest” at Disney’s Animal Kingdom also have single rider lines. Also, Rise of the Resistance and Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run also periodically offer single rider lines.
  • By virtue of the 65 mile-per-hour speed test, Test Track is the fastest Disney attraction in the world. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith, which also tops out at 60 miles-per-hour, places second in this regard.
  • Test Track’s had a delayed opening from the spring of 1997 to the spring of 1999.  This as a result of technical problems.
  • The original version of Test Track featured a more generic, less futuristic, atmosphere. Guests did not design cars, and tests included a break test, a hot test, a cold test, and a barrier test prior to the outdoor speed portion.
  • Disney has subsequently used Test Track’s ride system for “Journey to the Center of the Earth” at Tokyo DisneySea and Radiator Springs Racers at Disney’s California Adventure.
  • Test Track replaced “World of Motion,” an educational yet humorous attraction about the history of transportation, which operated from 1982 to 1996. There are nods to World of Motion in the newly updated version.

Top 5 Tips for Test Track

 

  • Don’t be afraid of experiencing Test Track because of the 65 mile-per-hour speed. You are riding in a traditional car, and the speed test is more fun than scary.
  • Consider utilizing the single-rider line for a shorter wait.  However, keep in mind you will likely not ride with your family.

  • The end of the attraction features vehicles you can view from General Motors lineup.
