Test Track Pavilion hosts the popular Test Track attraction, a high-tech automotive testing facility and a gift shop with exclusive merchandise in Future World at Epcot theme park. The interior of this industrial-themed, glass and steel complex was designed by Disney Imagineers after studying General Motors test facilities to achieve authenticity.

The Test Track attraction is a 5-minute, high-octane thrill ride that takes Guests through a series of vehicle prototype tests on what is one of Disney’s longest, fastest rides. Hold on tight as the cars reach 60 miles per hour on 50-degree banked curves!

General Motors’ latest vehicles are displayed throughout Test Track Pavilion for Guests to explore, as are exhibits featuring the latest advances in automotive technology. Learn about aerospace design as you view real cars in various production states, as well as a futuristic-looking concept car.

And don’t forget to make a pit stop at the gift shop, where Test Track riders can view and purchase photos automatically snapped during their rides. You can also pick up General Motors merchandise or whatever happens to drive you wild.

Test Track is an attraction at Epcot. Sponsored by General Motors, Test Track is a simulated excursion through the rigorous testing procedures that General Motors uses to evaluate its cars, culminating in a high-speed drive around the exterior of the attraction.

It opened to the public on December 19, 1998 after a long delay due to problems revealed during testing and changes to the ride design. The ride had many opening dates that it missed like May 1997 and August 1998. It replaced the World of Motion, though it uses the same ride building. It did not receive its official grand opening until March 17, 1999.

Guests ride in futuristic “test cars” in a GM “testing facility” and are taken through a series of tests to illustrate how automobile prototype evaluations are conducted. The highlight of the ride is a speed trial on a track around the outside of the Test Track building at a top speed of 64.8 miles per hour (104.3 km/h) on a 50-degree banked curve, making Test Track the fastest Disney theme park attraction ever built, next to California Screamin’, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, and Tokyo DisneySea’s Journey to the Center of the Earth (which uses an improved version of Test Track’s ride system).

The ride remains powered up 20 or more hours a day, due to lengthy start up times and nightly maintenance.
