AJ, Mike, and Chris accelerate to 64.9 milers per hour to take you back to the development, opening, and evolution of Epcot's first(ish) thrill ride, Test Track. We take a look at the history of GM's sponsorship of this pavilion from its origins at the 1964 New York's World Fair to the building's original opening day attraction, World of Motion. Learn how the concept of an automobile testing facility inspired by real life test tracks such as the Milford Proving Ground had played a role in Epcot's development longer than you'd think. Through its problematic development, Test Track would go on to inspire attractions in Disney parks around the world, and has seen its fair share of change. We hope you enjoy this dive into a modern classic, Test Track!
