While I do think that the new Test Track is really good, there are many things that they should have kept. The old Test Track felt more 'complete', with the suspension and weather tests.
The new Test Track replaced those two with 'scans' of the car, which is really nothing but a cruise through what was originally there. I can see why they took them out (maybe some riders felt uncomfortable with the bumps and heat) but I still think they should have remained on the ride.
My favorite part about the new Test Track is how you can create your own car and view the test results. Being someone who likes coming up with designs and prototypes of cars, that is a great addition.
It’s kinda like a game, try to get the highest score.
@@bobalinx8762 That sounds pretty fun. Some healthy competition.
@@ima.m.1658 We need more game rides in Disney World.
The old one was more realistic (born in 93, don't attack me) I loved the hot and cold room and the fun of it! Was more like an OPEN ROAD!
Hot and Cold scenes were definitely one of my favorite parts.
@@teamexplorers2.0 love ur lego profile pic
93 here too, the old one actually is big enough that if they filled in the "scalextrix" rail I could drive my real British car around that as a test run. The Tron style one I hate
i rode the old one and loved that hot and cold room. very cool and the photo at the end
As a 2000's kid, I can say the exact same thing
The old one also tested suspension, heat, cold and corrosion, the new one just accelerates and stops.
I feel like that's a great statement.
The old one just accelerates and stops.
@@vernxen3498 you're joking. The old one was much better, actually looked like you were out on a road. New one makes it seem 'high tech' but we already have a lot of that.
The 1st one went faster and rougher. A lot more bumpy. Like they had break test twice that went fast and break, but the 2nd one was 'icy conditions' and 'rainy conditions'.
1st one had suspension test going over actual rocks and bumps, 2nd one literally was just smooth.
@@vernxen3498 true
Original is way better. They took out the hot, cold and acid rooms...those were my fave. Plus...the commentators were so much fun on the first. The second just seems a little too serious...
I will say that the original one will always be my test track, it was cool for its time. It was very unique and it made you think that you were at a test track. 2.0 looks fantastic. I love how much it has changed, I will miss the cooling chamber. I think this will add a better thrill to the ride not that it is dark.
I can relate to the people who like v1.0 better and I personally do also(as a ride). BUT v2.0 fits the theme of Epcot a million times more and it makes perfect sense that they updated it. I'm on the fence about it, but oh-well I'm glad Disney is trying to improve!
Everything you said was wrong
Watch the pre-show of 1.0 and it will make sense
I disagree. 1.0 fits the original educational theme of Epcot and had a lot of relevant information. 2.0 is a soul-less sci-fi ride with no educational components. Of course now IPCOT is turning away from edutainment and is loading the parks with their intellectual properties.
I'm glad the they kept the truck, but I'm also kinda upset they removed the robotic arms, they were cool.
and the hot and cold rooms after the break test
Agreed
And the rough road test

Dib Membrane 2.0 was better 1.0
The new one is no test track, it's appearance doesn't match the name at all. The first one was a more homegeneous attraction because it told a story and you were a part of it. The new one has no theme and does not refer to the future at all, nothing is tested, there is no story and there is only darkness and neon light. However the track- and the movements of the car are still the same. Alas, progress has it's price and nothing stays the same forever.
-appearance fits the name cause its still a test track in a simulated test environment
-it has a theme. See above.
-the story that youre apart of is testing your concept cars in a test setting. Almost the same as the original. Only youre not a CTD anymore.
-its more futuristic than the old one
- the sun is not a neon light
I like the first one better than the newer one as well, but the new one isn’t bad. But last time I checked, there was no story for the first one except testing cars, which is exactly what you do in the second one as well so idk what point you’re trying to make. The newer one does have a theme and idk, it seems pretty futuristic to me.
@@JDaTopo actually, the first one HAD the story. maybe it wasn't obvious but, based on the theme, test track is supposed to let YOU feel what a "test dummy" should experience when a car is being tested. the story build up is actually brilliant upto the last segment where you would expect to be a "crash test dummy".
Track 2.0 in my opinion would it called "TRON: THE RIDE"
I was thinking the exact same thing :)
And instead of cars, we ride light bikes
Ironically they’re building a Tron roller coaster in the Magic Kingdom
@@railfanjackson4531 that makes no sense it should be in epcot
@@papingosstudios161 But it is in Tomorrowland which fits the theming
the new one looks cool.
but the old one fits.
the old one fits in future world?
^ cars will always have to be tested on, never gets outdated
I like the idea of the new one, it definitely needed it and I love all the high tech stuff, but in the new one there's too much nothing. What I mean is where there was bumpy roads, brake tests, hot, cold, thermal imaging, etc. now there's just going fast randomly or looking into a mirror and nothing's going on to "test" the car... Like at one point it says weather test, but the car and road is exactly the same, they just put a video of lightning on the wall!
It all depends on what you’re looking for:
If you want substance then the old version is for you as it was based on the actual processes used to test cars.
If you want Sci-Fi eye candy and some fun designing and comparing futuristic (but not very plausible) vehicles you’ll prefer the new version.
As for which suits Epcot better I’ll go against the trend and say the old one as Epcot isn’t about fantasy but the future based on what we can almost do today.
Thanks for the comparison video!
I like 2.0 better but I miss the heat and cold part lmao. I love how you can build your own car now, me and my family always have a little competition to see who's car will win!
I think they got rid of that feature afterwards
bruh that’s the worst part
never mind the fact that your car almost NEVER syncs up to the ride lol
You have every right to critique me but I think the new one is an improvement. It’s absolutely GORGEOUS, more modern, and just like the old one, very creative (there’s absolutely nothing like it, same with the old one). And the new version does a great job presenting what Epcot is supposed to be about: the future!
If they combined both of them together, the ride would be even better.
*EDIT* But the worse part about this ride is that the line is always so long ;n;.
To be perfectly honest, I like the new Test Track a bit better than the old one.
Why?
Well, while the original was a great thrill ride, it's aesthetic was just sort of unpleasing, to me anyways., I don't like my "Immersive" Disney rides looking so, Industrial. I know that was the appeal for a good chunk of people, but it wasn't for me.
The new one on the other hand, has a great aesthetic. Many people have compared the new ride's aesthetic to the world of "TRON" and, to be honest, That's part of the reason I like it so much. I've been wanting a "TRON" based ride ever since I saw "TRON: Legacy" in 3D a few years back. And,So Far, This is the closest thing we have to a "TRON" ride.
And Let's be honest, It's still the same ride just with a new coat of paint. Some people don't like the new one,some people do.
In the end,it's all opinion based.
I like the new version much better. I feel that it is like your in a virtual testing environment, rather than an actual testing environment, which I think adds to it, because it is like a world that you can't actually go to, unlike the old one which was just "warehouse-ish". I do wish they would have kept the heat and cold tests, because the new things in that portion of the ride are very dull and lazily done, but overall I think that the new version keeps it generally more exiting throughout.
Personally, the old version has my heart. While I love the new color scheme and the ability to design your own car to "test", I feel that the ride lost a lot of its original character, and it's fun nature of the warehouse feel. The subtraction of the heat and cold tests really made the ride rather dull, and while the new technology is very cool, it sometimes lacks the ability to be fun to be a part of.
I always enjoyed playing the role of the "test dummy" in the old test track with thee practical tests and warehouse feel. Not only that, but I really enjoyed how the old test track went through a lot of car safety, whereas the new test track deals mostly with specs.
(I may be a little bit biased, however. My grandfather actually invented the airbag, and it felt that the space for the airbag in queue was a tribute to him and his colleagues who collaborated on the invention. It was a very neat thing for me personally to see)
SEH221 that basicly sums up why I LOVED the old one when I was 5 THANK YOU
@@SEH221 exactly
The 2.0 version looks more like Tron, or Hotwheels acceleracers. Although the Car design station is unique, it's still annoying. It takes LONGER to wait for the ride for a stupid graphic not real car, and you can only use it ONCE. The 1.0 original one had a preview video instead, that showed much quicker. The original has more of the real design, instead of the new one with a video-game-like appearance. Honestly, I like the original better. The new one is fun too, (My parents work at Disney World) but it takes longer and takes away the perfect "testing" experience.
I do like the appearance of the 'new' Test Track. The indoor segments are very reminiscent of a 1980s arcade game, as your car is going through a simulation. But I do agree they should have kept things like the bumpy road, and the hot/cold room.
Finally! Someone who actually dissects it and looks at how this represents Epcot instead of favoring the original Test Track and comparing how accurate 2.0 is and saying "I don't like it". Gotta learn to let go and look at what 2.0 represents, what it is and what it has to offer.
I highly agree with you. 110%
I like the tron esque design with the light outlining everything, and I also like the computer voice it makes Epcot seem like its constantly evolving, I love it, I actually might want to ride it
left-Test Track; right-Test Track: Legacy
left-Test Track right-Test Track: Chevrolet.
Having rode the original myself, the updated version looks very interesting, and I can't wait to ride it someday.
Nobody's even mentioning the fact that you get to create your own car before the ride and see how it scores against everyone else's and you get to do stuff with it after the ride like make a commercial and race it against others. The new version is way more interactive and entertaining than the old one.
Snowy4091 Making a car takes time and is boring
You make the car during the time you are in the lineup. You could personalize a car or stand still for the time.
@@disneyfan9099also wasn’t the feature to making your car removed ?
I think it was
I Understand that, but you don't feel any sensations like the hot or cold room, or anti-lock braking test or even a rough road test. This is all computer screens and tvs with pretty neon lights
I think the new Test Track is great! Everyone gets so worked up over changes around the parks and I think a lot of people let it go to their heads. I absolutely loved the first one as well, and I'll miss it, but the new one definitely fits EPCOT's Futureworld a lot better than the original. I really think everyone needs to relax a bit when it comes to change and embrace it. A lot of times it's for the better (Ex. RFID with everything).
I just think they could have changed the heat and cold tests to be more futuristic rather than doing away with them altogether. They could have done the same with the brake and suspension tests. I hope they bring it all back in a new and exciting way. It’s not really TEST Track without any tests.
Stop making fun of test track. It's what's on the inside that counts! She's just going through a phase!
Yeah ,everything on the inside has change and nothing on the outside
Yeah, so the new Test Track is kind of a Disney take on car testing in computer programs. Besides, test track needed at new "tomorrow" theme (it was like that when it opened) because ABS breaking isn't "cutting edge" anymore.
"Why does it all look futuristic?!"
I don't know, maybe because it's in Future World?
Grant Turner Maybe people are confused because little else in Future World looks futuristic
Thank you somebody understands!
Ya know that Disney is closing the ride for maintenance in January right? Wonder what that’s gonna do…
def 1.0 much better
xPusheen yeah but it looks like tron not a test track
xPusheen Everything in Future World's outdated lmao
I've ridden on both versions but for some reason the only thing I remembered about the og version was the Heat Chamber. But watching this video really proves how much more I love the new version over the old one. I'm upset that I won't get to ride it again on my next trip as it'll be closed by the time my next two trips come
Thumbs Up For the Old One!
If you were to go to the GM/Chevy test track, I garuantee you would see Test Track 1.0 and not the 2.0 version. What purpose does a tron look serve in building cars? I highly doubt that test tracks and proving grounds of the future will look like this.
2.0 fits the theme of technology and the future better but 1.0 is a more appealing ride as it feels like you are learning (and experiencing) how they test cars. 1.0 also has a better queue with so much to look at and 2.0 it boring because they only have a few cars on display. I do like how you get to make your own car and test it in 2.0 though.
you are right in some areas, but you have to keep in mind... test track is supposed to teach people how companies (or more detailed chevrolet) test their "test" vehicles before they release them to the market. this new version of the ride, however, leans to a completely new theme that i cant understand. the old verson shows anti-lock brakes, barrier tests and etc, this new verison doesn't explain anything. they have some of the same test but they dont get explained enough. lack of theming.
Did they slow the track down at some point?
I say that new test track was marginally quicker than the old test track
Just noticed that the new test track vehicle moved seconds before the old test track vehicle moved
People are really upset about the design your car element. It's not geared to you, it's geared to young minds that would find such an interactive element really exciting. I bet the same people complaining are the same willing to waste hours on an Angry Bird type game. It's just another way to engage people while they wait. Who wants to pay hundreds of dollars to stare at posters and cheesy videos for two hours in a line?
thats what "Test Track" is all about. Have you ever been to a real one
Actually I like the design your own car. It teaches you about engineering a little bit, not to mention it kills time while waiting.
1.0 will always be better because it was more varied, had a better theme, and was overall more of an experience.
Also...when I rode 1.0 for the past few years, I never heard the "Push it! Harder!" "You got it!" part during the final outside loop. Did that stop working/get taken out?
Because if you think of an actual car testing zone which one would you think resembles it the most? The 1.0 or the 2.0
Sorry i think this one looks more like it is unfinished. It looks like they put up some black drapes turned on some blue lights. The old sequence with the brake tests was exciting because you didn't know what was going to happen and also in the old one the truck only turned it's head lights on as you were right in front of it. The beerier test part has nothing to suggest why you are going to full speed and crashing into a wall.
That was very cool for the comparison of both rides, great job!
THE OLD ONE IS BETTER THAN THIS NEW JUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know right? I don't know what Disney was thinking when they designed the new version of test track. They should've kept part of the old version, but make it where you could design your own car. THAT would be way better than screwing up one of their best attractions.
King B Awesome but this new one is better than NO TEST TRACK AT ALLL
King B Awesome but the old one is best
Exactly
King B Awesome exactly
Honestly, the second one looks a lot more fun but both have their own luster. The second one is more futuristic and eye popping plus its actually very appropriate for current Epcot. The old one is more science and truthful cause (in Disney's fun way) it showed how cars are actually tested. Even though I will miss the old ride, the new one is a welcomed change :).
have you been on it? it looks slow in the video but trust me it feels alot faster than the original! :)
does the new one have the hot and cold rooms?
I guess they changed it since it was outdated and it was sorta dangerous since the ride could break down due to it being too fast. I rode the 2.0 version and it's pretty decent, considering I had to wait in a really long line while looking at Chevrolet cars but it's all worth it! Yes, the new one does look like Tron but I like it since I'm a video-game junkie. The design thing was annoying since my cousin and mother were complaining that the car won't work. The Power part was fast enough for me, you're just wearing a simple seatbelt so it won't be as fast as Expedition Everest or something.
I prefer 2.0 since it allot more safer and has a more futuristic feel to it.
1.0 was decent it had more of a actual testing feel
They had the heat chambers a corrosion chambers and the barrier test where your photo was taken
I think with modern saftey standard s they could have modifyed the original
Pretty different type this car ride test track isn't. How similar ride like this??
Thanks for posting this! Doesn't it kind of look like someone REALLY wanted to do a TRON ride, then someone told them they had to make it "GM" ish? Seriously - how cool would a TRON "realworld vs inworld" be?!?!?
I'm not gonna lie, while I'll probably still like this ride when I eventually ride it again, I'll always prefer the original Test Track. The Hot/Cold chambers were my favorite part, and now there's just some pretty holographics in its place. I was so excited on planning on having my dad ride this for the first time with the original theming, but I don't think he's a fan of TRON, and 2.0 reminds me of that. Oh wells. At least they didn't remove it completely.
I cant comment on the new version or the old version as i haven't seen them in person but i will say is, Very interesting seeing both side by side like this
BAHAHA Ok that made me laugh! Marlin can't you watch your kid for more than 5 seconds?! Stop losing him!
Not much of a difference but adding a bunch of neon lights. What was the point again?
i like the new one, Walt Disney World is always changing, and improving every year, that's awesome!
I am pretty partial to the old Test Track because I had a blast riding it as a kid, however, that being said, the new one looks really homogeneous. On the old Test Track you went through a series of real-life tests, but on the new one you're mainly just looking at a bunch of test results on futuristic displays, which doesn't look fun, thrilling, or educational. I appreciate the work the Imagineers put into the new version and like the futuristic concept, but it could have been better.
I went to Disney at the beginning of summer this year and was so excited for test track cause it was one of my favorites. I had no idea they changed the ride until I was on it and it just didn’t feel the same the whole inside part feels pointless and kinda boring I for sure preferred the old one (I still rode it like 12 times btw)
IMO, 2.0 is very "EPCOT" in the original sense of the word. Its looking toward the future rather than taking an existing thing through its paces. It fits in much better with the whole Future World theme. That being said, this is the first ride that opened in my lifetime that has truly changed (I was 7 when 1.0 opened), so my first thoughts when I saw 2.0 was "I miss my Test Track". But I think they did a great job, and I can't wait to ride it in January.
Anyone else like the old one more? It is more realistic and doesn't have neon lights for everything
Yes yes yes!
I think I like the 1st version better but i'm not sure unless I actually ride it. Which I will do when I'm there in January!
This was fun, thank you!
I liked the old one brtter but the new one is good the old one was better cuz of the chambers and in the beginging we went soooo fast I thought it wouldent stop the fast part still feels the same but i wish it was faster :/
I loved the first one. It was like and actual test track. The ride narration of 2.0 is horrible and can be ignored. No matter how many times i rode 1.0, I was still excited. Also there is no longer a paint room or the hot and cold simulations. Those were great!
Thanks for posting the side-by-side. I understand that a lot of the color/visuals of the new version are not visible here. New version seems to be a kinda futuristic dark ride. Old one had a "storyline". I couldn't tell what the heck the audio meant on the new one. I'll hold off more opinions until I ride it later this month.
Actually it feels more like a testing thing more. It feels like you are in a computer program since they also say "sim ride" its supposed to feel like a simulations. Also when you almost crapped yourself were you at the ride or does it also happen when you see videos because if it only happens when you ride it I can probably guess you have not riden the new one yet so maybe you dont know the whole thing.
I honestly think the new one is better. Mainly because of the challenge aspect of it. It makes you feel as if you are a real part of the ride and you helped create it. And also I like that you can’t see the track so it’s more of a surprise
WOAH at 2:54 you can see the old symbol still there on the new ride!
I guess it's just a matter of opinion. At first I shared your skepticism. But then I rode it. I think it's cooler than the original, although the original was fantastic. And you're right, the theme and story of the old version was awesome. But the tron-like theme of 2.0 is equally interactive. Maybe you're not a physical test dummy in 2.0, but in a way you're still a test dummy of sorts. Either way, opinions are going to vary about 2.0. I'll miss the original, but I absolutely love 2.0.
not true at all they still do a lot of testing on test tracks. You can actually see the one ford has if you go to the Henry ford museum in dearborn Michigan. If you go by it on a weekday you will see cars out on it.
It does.. It's suppose to look futuristic looking, but it kind of reminds me of space mountain with those flashing lines and sounds. Epcot is all about change, and that's what they did. I'm not really liking it, but still, great ride.
Then when you enter the actual ride, it immerses you into the full design aspect of a car because face it, we are in a world where everything is made by computers. You're in this world going through obstacles and actually knowing what you're doing and why. It's visually compelling and actually really fun! The only con I miss are the hot and cold chambers but the good far outweigh the bad. This is what EPCOT was built to be. About innovation and the step toward tomorrow. This is real Epcot enter!
I will say that both of them are great in their own way. The only thing I miss however is the Heat and freezing chamber, but hey, at least they kept the truck. I also think they should have renovated a little more on the outdoor tracks, along with the fact when being on those tracks would be much better at night since the indoors are all nightime theme. Just that blinding light hitting you after escaping that dark indoor area can be a little strange an irritating. But yeah, thats my thought on it.
But I'm glad they renovated the theme anyways. Gives a more futuristic feel when you're inside a park that relates to the theme of the future.
No it was a bit more than that...What about the whole lab in the queue and some of the more detailed bits like the hot/cold/corrosion chambers.
Its not necessarily about the "look" of one ride versus the other, rather how the experience plays out.
I loved the old/best test track as a kid but the new one just sucks, it is so boring and not as industrial, the open and bright areas where the best part, and the thermal, cold, and paint rooms were my favorite, but they ruined it with the new one!
How did it got even ruined?
While I agree the old version was superior, the new one seems much more in-line with the futuristic theme of the Futureworld section than the old industrial theme.
The old version didn't even have storyline. Not everything in disney needs a storyline. Sometimes it's just about being immersed in an experience. Also, you're in the future world section of Epcot. Of course it's going to be futuristic. The original opening day rides were all futuristic [for it's time] 1.0 was just taking something that already happens and has happened for years and added 90's techno and reflector tape and you had a ride. This is about taking that step into the future..
When did they make 2.0?
Fromp4 it opened in 2012 I believe
It seems the entire 2.0 ride portion is a justification of the RFID card design system, and has very little to do with the premise of the original Test Track. I need to experience it myself before completely writing 2.0 off. Perhaps it works better in person. 1.0 made you feel as though you were in a testing facility, without experiencing 2.0 first hand I can't really comment on how strong its theming is. I look forward to riding it soon and finding out for myself
I may be in the small camp that prefers the new one overall but there are things I miss like the trick barrier test, they coulda kept it but I guess people got freaked out too much (but isn't that the point?) The Paint robots seem to have lived on in some way in Radiator Springs Racers with Ramone, so It's pretty much a nod to the old TT (along with Mack replicating the truck in both TTs). I like the visuals of the new one better because it's more retro and fits in with Retro Epcot feels. I hear there is a new version in the works that will play into retro Epcot even more so we will see.
I vote for the old one!, It had so much more detail to look at.
Thank you for the upload! I don't like the removal of the hot and cold test chambers. I do like that now you can't see the other cars on the track much or the warehouse look of 1.0. I could do with less Tron but, admit that now this really fits Future World!
Ok, I'm fine with all the changes, BUT! They neeeeeed to bring the Heat and Freeze Chambers back.
I agree.
I like 1.0 it looks like a test track not like 2.0 looks like nothing but future.
Which is why the area of the park the ride is in, is called "Future World". The ride was outdated before.. This fits the theme so much better.
King Buck well it's in a area called future world so um
Um.. it was outdated.. its meant to look like that, it's in the future area.. -_- learn your Disney better..
cuz its in FUTUREWORLD
great comparison. thanks for this!
I could agree with that, but I just really enjoyed the theme of the other ride better, and it seems like you only see the design of your car at the beginning and in the scene where the hot and cold rooms used to be...again I still need to ride it, but so far I liked the theme of the old ride better. Who knows, I could be wrong!
I think they both have their pros and cons. 2 ultimately wins out for me because I love the goofy in-car competition.
Plus if you take the single riders row in 2.0 you just or have no time to design or just can change very few features to your vehicle.
Bring back the first version
I am not surprised they took out the heat/cold room as those rooms were very uncomfortable if you were unfortunate enough to break down in them. This is one of the original rides when Epcot opened, and except for the "Tronification" of the ride, it really has not changed. I liked the older version better personally. Note when you go outside in 2.0 you see how much older the ride is. The white lines on the side are nearly gone, and the lines in the middle of the track are completely gone. It is just an aging ride in a park that is aging. I just went back to Disney a couple of years ago and back to Universal this past year and to be honest, the parks have flipped. When I was growing up in Florida Disney was a better park. Today, Universal is better. My 10 year old kids told me that Universal is better and I have to agree.
1.0 and 2.0 was fantastic
ok well there exactly the same ecept with some special effects go on the new test track its really cool u cant say anything inless you have been on it
How fast does it go?
64.9 mph usually
I do think that the old one was great, but I do think the new one looks like it actually fits in "future world" and is better.
Kieran Eliuk Idk. It does look more futuristic but having everything be neon lights is overkill.
Why did they get rid of the old one :(
I see this is 10 years old, but we just got back from Disney World and I honestly didn't know the ride had changed at all. I knew it was going to be different when I saw there wasn't crash test stuff all around the queue. I kept saying it was different but it had been 25 years so I was questioning myself. The ride is completely different. I 10000% prefer the old one. Everything about it I prefer. I'll ride it again, but I still definitely prefer the original. I'm sad it's different. 😢😢
I totally agree.. the old ride actually taught people something about cars... the new one looks futuristic but fails to teach the riders anything about the future of cars... Epcot was built to get people interested in technology and innovations using fun... Walt Disney always wanted Epcot to become a city of the future.. so I'm kind-of sad that test track was altered in such a way.. (^_^;) (well as least the new fantasy land looks great..!)
now everybody is gonna trip all over themselves to prove they are the biggest test track hipster. things change, deal with it. we all rode the original test track tons of times. time for something new
I guess it's kind of a cool upgrade. Wish they would've done more to the outside other than adding colored lights.
I haven't been on the new one yet but by the looks of it, they should have never changed it... I'll miss the old one
