The ORIGINAL Test Track Ride Through 2011 HD 1080p POV Walt Disney World EPCOT

Take a ride on Epcot's Test Track in High-Def! Filmed & edited by Robb Alvey - www.themeparkreview.com

[@everythingthrice2582]

I always enjoyed how you were given the feeling that you were the crash test dummy and that there really was a crew of researchers monitoring your car in real time through each test.

[@epicunillama2242]

The original is so much better

Out dated AF

One of the most disappointing things about the new version is that they completely eliminated tests like the rough road blocks and the hot and cold rooms. The latter two now consist of dark walls and a mirror with a projection that looks like it could be on an Iphone app.

[@potterfandf]

Honestly, I can understand if you like the old version more, but it doesn't do any good complaining about it now.

[@disneyscott98]

You mean this completely outdated ride from the 90's that didn't fit in Future World like the newer one does?

[@matts.6904]

@@disneyscott98 It showed real tests that cars at GM go through- that's not something that becomes "outdated-" they still test cars that same way today. The only thing possibly outdated was maybe some of the aesthetics of the ride (paint jobs, old video)- they could have easily spruced that up and still keep it the way it was. The new one doesn't fit in Future World because it is a make-believe video game to cater to 6 year olds. Future World is about real life practical technologies in innovations, not make believe.

This is the best version of Test Track. I think the Tron theme is ridiculous. Thanks for archiving this wonderful ride.

[@themeparkreview]

Oh, we really like the new theme a lot! We liked the old version, too. But whatever...

[@metronorthrailfan2244]

@@themeparkreview Personally I think it’s way too futuristic it makes it feel like as if you were living in the 22nd century. I think the original one is better as it definitely fits into our 21st century timeline

[@23imansaray]

I've been on this version back in 2010 and I like this one better. I saw the video that you guys did for the new one and it just looks to high tech for me. This one looks and feels like you are actually testing out your "new" car.

[@schwarzerregen9338]

+Isatu Mansaray it's because the newer version is just one big Chevrolet advert!

[@23imansaray]

More like a Tron knock off

[@StephyDee]

It's the old one, the one most people fell in love with. My brother and his family are in Disney right now and said that the new one, while good, just doesn't feel the same. Imagine a TRON theme, without the hot/cold/corrosion chambers, and that's what the new version is like.

you just had to be there as a kid with major nerves and anxiety man. such a chill but exhilarating ride

[@DJBiv788]

I rode this version in March 2003 and the refresh in April 2022. I feel like the old one was more informative and more interesting. Given that Epcot is more of a learning experience, this was better back then.

[@soapfan97]

Hahaha I LOVE this mans commentary: Speaker machine: Hey thanks for being such a good test crew Man: Your welcome Speaker Machine: Come back and ride anytime man: We will speaker machine: Bye now Man: bye

Am disappointed when I go on this now because as I'm riding it, I can't help but imagine what it was like in the original ride- and all it is now is dark walls and video game graphics.

[@Umbra_of_Emberspike]

Dammit. I went last year. That truck jump scare would have been so much fun to experience.

[@taraaverie]

Going back to Disney world next year and am so excited! I'm upset that they changed the original Test Track when it was awesome, but changes are required of them I'm sure. It will still be fun to be there again none the less!

Riding for the first time as a kid I really thought they were gonna crash the car into the wall, that’s a once in a lifetime feeling lol

[@micahh9351]

I made a car out of a 67 impala, back when you chose from existing gm models rather than wind tunnel. I gave it the jet engine spoiler, purple paint with flames, and police lights. The car ended up scoring 202 overall and beat my brothers car by 1 point. I never saved the card, but I still remember the photo of it to this day

It's more fun to ride when it's dark out.

[@zach8870]

Can't believe it's been six years.

[@disneylandguy10]

It's amazing how well they've hidden the test from each other in the the new one. In this one, you could see what was coming up next. In the new one, everything looks so much more spread out!

I still cant belive disney would take this ride out and try to replace it, I was devasted when i came back and they told me they removed it a week ago ;P

[@clemenza1234]

this is nearly identical to "radiator springs racers" in disneyland's california adventure. a VERY fun ride too, i might add. thanks for the video!

[@LEGOtemper]

Don't get me wrong; the new one looks awesome and more up to date with the newer car technologies, but it seems less realistic and more science-fiction like. I liked how (for a kid), it felt like I was driving an actual car (and had a taste of what adults might have experienced) rather than a fancy video game version. Plus, I like the industrial "test" aspect over the "future" version. No point complaining, since it'd be a huge waste of money to remove all the updated technology~ ;)

[@Oneofakind407]

"We never get to go to track course B" That's because Track Course B is not part of the ride, it is actually a repair and maintenance shop for the ride vehicles.

Thx so much!!! im going tommorow and wanted this sneek peek. thanks so much!!

wish i was old enough to remember going on the original

[@itbemarkyo]

i remeber waiting 3 hours for this when i was 10 and it wasn't that fast but it was interesting to look at all the stuff on the walls. still is a great ride though. oh! and i remember getting stuck on that when i was 7, it was very hot or cold outside(i can't remember) and we either got stuck in the freeze test or the hot test and all i wanted it to do is go to the room that was either hot or cold b/c it was either freezing or burning up

[@LeahLela]

This is one of my favorite rides xD

[@mrknowitall600]

this one looks alot more fun then the new version i went on!

Does this ride really go 70 mph like it says when you're going outside?

This is so much better. The other one isn’t even a test track. It’s just a futuristic car capability tester. They shouldn’t have changed it.

I've never ridden version 1 or 2 but from watching these POVs I would probably prefer V1.

[@jacquelinebendall9181]

Me too.

[@whyareapples3037]

For the people who are saying the original felt more realistic and that the new one isn’t fun because it doesn’t feel like your actually testing a car, that’s a fair point, however I feel like the new version was necessary because the whole theme around Epcot is the future and the new one seems more “futuristic”. I also love designing a car and I think kids from new generations will love it as well. I’ve grown up with the original and I loved it, but the new one isn’t the worst thing, I still have the same amount of fun and it’s pretty much the same ride with different theming.

[@Jasminacoco12]

Thank you and it looks very fun!

Great Video!

[@cyclicmusings2661]

It wasn't just the ride itself but the queue and post-show was also better then. I liked the industrial car factory feel of the place. I first rode it in late 2000 as a child and that is the version I'm most nostalgic about. Test Track "2.0" has a boring queue and the post-show area is just more showroom space. The ride itself still holds up but feels flat with a bit too much reliance on screens. I'm not nostalgic about the 2.0 version of the ride but nonetheless I'm thinking of revisiting for one last ride as they're closing the ride down in a few days for an overhaul and we'll see in 6? months if Test Track "3.0" is any good but my hopes aren't really high at the moment.

[@SlushysSecret]

While the new retheme is not going to be in a crash test setting it will show the advanced technology of cars in nature, which I think is still better than being replaced by some IP based attraction
