Test Track
OK, Epcot, that peaceful park hidden amongst the hubbub of Disney and Universal - not any more! Meet the Test Track, a thrill a minute journey through the proving ground of the motor car. This experience is not to be missed so make sure you fast track it early as the queues get huge with a capital H. The idea behind this attraction is to introduce to the general public the rigorous testing that goes on during the development of a motor car. As you pass through the substantial pre ride area you are shown the many facets of engineering and testing that go into making a new vehicle. This is very well done and highly informative. At the end of this you meet the ride. I wont spoil it for you but believe me you will really want to go on it again as soon as you are of it!

Test Track is awesome! The speed is great and they have great banked curves. They also have some surprises like when you barrel into a wall and it opens up at the last second. This is the order you do things. First, you go into the queue area. It is VERY LOUD! It has bangs, clanks...whatever you would find in a car test lab. Next, you watch a 2 to 3 minute pre-show. It tells you what you will encounter. You will also see the date it taped but that is unnecessary info I won't go on about. Finally, you board the cars. I say the front is better because it tells you what speed you are going. First, you go up a tire squealing, engine clanking 3 story hill. The suspension test is next. You go over a variety of "road" surfaces. Next is the brake test. You stop sharply with and without ABS. Without ABS comes first. Guess which one is better? Then you go into a Hot Chamber, a Cold Chamber, and a Corrosive Chamber. In cold and corrosive you get sprayed by "robots" with mist but don't get wet. Next, the Ride Handling Test comes where you go into a tunnel full of surprises. Next, the Barrier Test. This is when you barrel into a wall. You feel like a crash dummy. Last, the High Speed test. Outside the building, you and your vehicles scream around a 50 degree loop. The loop does not go upside-own...it is more liked a banked curve. Then you can buy an on-ride photo. You don't see the camera. One thing that was weird was that my mother was smiling during the picture..what a coincidence! The ride has been sponsored by GM, but again it not useful information I won't talk about. After I rode I just had to go on again. Two rides to avoid after you go on Test Track are Body Wars and the ride at "Norway". I call it the Norway ride. So I recommend Test Track to everyone! (Lizdon89)
