Remembering Test Track (Presented by GM)



Hello Disney fans, Collins here.  If you've been on this site in the past, you know that this summer I visited Walt Disney World in July.  One of the things I was most anticipating on the trip was riding the new Test Track "2.0", a refurb of the original Test Track which operated from 1999-early 2012.  Aside from the track layout, which hasn't changed from the original attraction, the new Test Track is a totally different ride.  Instead of testing a test car in real test scenarios, you now test your custom-made "SimCar" in a virtual "SimTrack" (which is actually physical), putting it to the test of "simulated" scenarios including slippery road surfaces, responsiveness, off-road handling, and of course the high-speed loop.  While the new incarnation of Test Track is obviously cool and very futuristic, I can't help but miss the old ride which was my favorite in WDW.  So today I wanted to give you a side-by-side look comparing the old to the new, so you can see what the old World of Motion has undergone in it's most recent update.  Below is a video by Inside The Magic comparing the two rides side-by-side.  You'll see a lot has changed!

So what do you think of the changes? Are you like me and wish you could have the original ride back or are you more of a fan of the new attraction? Let me know in the comments! Thank you so much, and as always, have a magical day!
