Test Track: Ride Review

Name: Test Track
Type: Ride, fast-moving, racecar type thing
Location: Epcot, in Futureworld
The Gist: See how manufacteres test the cars we drive, and finish with a 64-mile-an-hour jaunt around the track. This is billed as being the longest ( meaning amount of disntance covered) and fastest (meaning speed-wise) attraction in Disney history.
A Must-Do For: Car buffs, people who want to do a thrill ride that is not too thrilling.
Avoid if: You think you would be bothered by high speeds.
Fear Factor: 4.5/10. Honestly, this ride is not that scary. It is not a roller coaster, there aren't really any drops, the speed is really just the thing. Originally, I was too scared to go on this one, but then my boyfriend made me, and I ended up loving it. I kind of thought that the speed would bother me more than it did. It actually doesn't bother me at all. This, to me, seems so different than when you go fast on a roller coaster. It basically happens on one plane, you aren't twisting and turning and droping and looping like on other rides. Kids love it, too. So does my mom, who freaks out on the Barnstormers. So that should tell you something.

Lines and Other Tips: Unsurprisingly, this is one of the most popular rides at Epcot, with the average wait times being the second highest in the park, after Soarin', natch. Go right when the park opens, though, and there's a good chance you'll get on with little wait. If not, definitely get a Fastpass, unless you don't mind having to wait at least on hour. Also, this ride has a single-rider line, which could cut your wait time greatly, as long as you don't mind having your party spilt up.

I love this ride. Probably my favorite at Epcot. We have to try to do at least once everytime we go. We have the dialogue from the pre-ride video memorized by heart, that is how many times we've done it. Try not to miss this one, it is really a ton of fun (hence the reason it is always so crowded!).
