Test Track Through the Ages

Test Track's evolution from GM's original 1999 proving-ground simulator through Chevrolet's design-studio 2.0 to a reimagined World of Motion-inspired 3.0 attraction.
1. 1
  
  Mar 17, 1999New
  
  Opened as Test Track presented by General Motors, replacing the retired World of Motion (closed January 1996); the GM-themed dark ride simulated automotive proving-ground tests and ended on a high-speed outdoor loop reaching about 65 mph, the fastest Disney ride of its time.

  Dec 6, 2012Changed
  
  Reopened as Test Track 2.0 presented by Chevrolet after an April 2012 closure; the retheme added a Chevrolet Design Center pre-show where guests design a virtual SimCar, replaced the show scenes with a neon TRON-style 'SimTrack' and a new score, and restructured the experience around four tests (capability, efficiency, responsiveness, power). The track layout and ride vehicles were retained.
