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.

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.

@@disneyscott98 It showed real tests that cars at GM go through- that's not something that becomes "outdated-" they still test cars that same way today. The only thing possibly outdated was maybe some of the aesthetics of the ride (paint jobs, old video)- they could have easily spruced that up and still keep it the way it was.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.

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.

Heat chamber in summer "NOOOOOOOO!!!" Cold chamber in summer "YEEEEEEEEEEESSSS!!!!

not a killer time since they removed the old intrance line sextion

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!

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!

"let's see how sexy we look" LMAO

dude I even remember that smell in the "stinky" room LMAO. I absolutely adored this version. The new one just didn't cut it for me

Can't believe it's been six years.

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~ ;)

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 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

this one looks more like an actual test track. the new one looks like an idiotic version of the from ride in Shanghai Disneyland . I wish I had a chance to ride the old one : /

they honestly should've just rethemed it to Tron. The old one was pretty cool- I remember the heat room the most tbh.

The warm and cold bit is like Valhalla in Blackpool !!!

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.

Last time I rode this was 15 years ago. It felt like a fun educational journey and a thrill at the same time.

"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.

"88 miles per hour" haha

This was like the best ride ever

@themeparkreviewTPR YOU HAVE KILLED THE MAGIC. KILLED IT ALL. WHYYYY?!!

been on this 7 times!

this version is timeless, the new one has a minimalist futuristic aesthetic that already looks outdated.

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!

I love it! And i miss it so much, since i live in norway, and i were in USA Orlando epcot and Disney, and all that stuff! I miss this one so much!❤

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

The commentary was great! "It's warm! Oh no, now it's cold. I'm gonna get the flu." - "Don't spit on me" - "We never get to go to track course B!" - "It's like being on Rocket Rods that doesn't suck" - "Oh it's dark!" - "I didn't' sign up for a barrier test" - "Cool I've always wanted to be thermal imaged!" - "Let's see how sexy we look. That's not very sexy".

Thankyou

wish i was old enough to remember going on the original

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.

Honestly I really appreciate the effort Disney has put into keeping all of their rides current. Even though a lot of people say the old version of this is better the technology they used to give a totally new ride experience is impressive. There's only so much they could have done to update this ride given the restrictions of a prebuilt track, so re-theming was really the only option.

I miss this Test Track

What Rocket Rods should have been...I think. Announcer: Don't forget your personal belongings. Gordon Freeman: Oh, I wont. In fact, I wont forget YOUR personal belongings either. Heheh.

Now that Test Track is getting yet another upgrade, I'm curious to see how Test Track 3.0 will compare to the other 2 versions as well as World of Motion

This is one of my favorite rides xD

That is a really cool Rollercoaster :D

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

the ride was amazing i whent on it and i had a blast! the part that made me and my best friend scream was the part were it whent pitch black and it looked like the huge truck was ganna crash into us x)

Weeeeeee!! I can't wait until this opens at DCA!

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

I miss this version.

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

since it broke down, we got to ride it again no wait once it was fixed.

Just rode the new one and came here to show my friend how much fun the old one was! The new one was cool, but not nearly as fun!

The minute he said '88 miles per hour' I found myself humming the back to the future theme...

I waited like 5 hours when it opened. Should have got those damn passes!

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.
