http://www.attractionchecklist.com - Test Track 2.0 is now gone, but let’s head to EPCOT in Walt Disney World and ride it one last time on this episode of Attraction Checklist.

Attraction audio recorded on June 6, 2024.

TRANSCRIPT:

Welcome to Attraction Checklist.

This episode we visit EPCOT to ride Test Track

The Walt Disney World website describes this attraction by saying: Design a virtual concept car and put it to the test on this thrilling, high-octane attraction.  

Guests must be 40” or taller to ride and the Thrill Level describes the ride as being a Thrill Ride with Small Drops.

Before we hop in a SIM Car, here are five fast facts about Test Track.

1. Test Track officially opened at EPCOT on March 17, 1999.  The attraction replaced the original Epcot attraction World of Motion.

2. The version of the attraction we are hearing on this episode is known as Test Track 2.0.  This version of the attraction opened on December 6, 2012.  This version let riders design their perfect test car and then see how well that card did on the attraction.

3. Test Track vehicles can reach speeds of up to 64.9 mph or 104.4km/h.

4. The music for Test Track 2.0 was composed by Paul Leonard-Morgan who has composed music for television, film and video games.

5. On June 17, 2024, Test Track 2.0 closed to make way for Test Track 3.0 which Disney has said will be inspired by the original World of Motion attraction.

Let’s go ride Test Track 2.0 one last time.  Now I will say it was really difficult to get a good quality recording of this attraction.  The first time I rode it John B. deHaas was with me but the people in the car with us were so noisy and vulgar, we pretty much decided that that audio couldn’t be released publicly. Though it will be released at the same time a this episode as a Patreon Patron exclusive to those Patrons who want to hear.  We even included a review, of our fellow riders.

But forgetting about that, here now is Test Track 2.0 and afterwards I’ll give you my thoughts on this attraction.  This is a binaural recordings so if you have headphone put them on now as we experience Test Track 2.0 at Walt Disney World’s EPCOT.
