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@@disneyscott98 It showed real tests that cars at GM go through- that's not something that becomes "outdated-" they still test cars that same way today. The only thing possibly outdated was maybe some of the aesthetics of the ride (paint jobs, old video)- they could have easily spruced that up and still keep it the way it was.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.
@@themeparkreview Personally I think it’s way too futuristic it makes it feel like as if you were living in the 22nd century. I think the original one is better as it definitely fits into our 21st century timeline
I've been on this version back in 2010 and I like this one better. I saw the video that you guys did for the new one and it just looks to high tech for me. This one looks and feels like you are actually testing out your "new" car.
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.
I rode this version in March 2003 and the refresh in April 2022. I feel like the old one was more informative and more interesting. Given that Epcot is more of a learning experience, this was better back then.
Hahaha I LOVE this mans commentary: Speaker machine: Hey thanks for being such a good test crew Man: Your welcome Speaker Machine: Come back and ride anytime man: We will speaker machine: Bye now Man: bye
Janine Frei He is awesome but man he kills me with the weeeeeee. On every ride....The guy that would annoy me if I didn’t know him at a theme park, but the guy I’d have a ball with at a theme park lol
As a kid always seemed so awesome. When I finally went on when I was 17 the fast part wasn't as epic as it seemed lol also I had no idea most of it was slowly moving around :(
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!
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!
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
oh my friend....you missed the good old days when Test Track looked more original...now it's all high tech and it takes away from the good experience....
"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.
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
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
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 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
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~ ;)
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)
So I only got to ride this once before the retheme, and right when we got to the barrier test, the ride shut down due to inclimate weather, and I actually got to walk down this track
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.
While the new retheme is not going to be in a crash test setting it will show the advanced technology of cars in nature, which I think is still better than being replaced by some IP based attraction

i like this version WAY better
emma stephens i agree

i guess them karens couldn't handle it...
"OH NO IT'S WARM! OH NO IT'S COLD! I'M GONNA GET THE FLU."
That’s not how it works baby
The original is so much better
Out dated AF
how exactly is it outdated? you realize they still test cars right?
@@squidward_tentpoless outdated in technology
@@eagerphoenix966 its the same fucking ride with tron lights LMFAOOOO
@@squidward_tentpoless no the preshow. Their computers are still on dial up.
i like this old version better
Honestly, I can understand if you like the old version more, but it doesn't do any good complaining about it now.
You mean this completely outdated ride from the 90's that didn't fit in Future World like the newer one does?

Sarah ohyeagirl i agree
@@disneyscott98 The old one had a story. The new one doesn't even know what it is. It's terrible.
Track course B was (and still is) a maintenance area. Just so you know lol
That isn't maintainance that's only the car storage aka GARAGE that's where these bootiful cars come out from.
He was being sarcastic
This is the best version of Test Track. I think the Tron theme is ridiculous. Thanks for archiving this wonderful ride.
Oh, we really like the new theme a lot! We liked the old version, too. But whatever...

+Isatu Mansaray it's because the newer version is just one big Chevrolet advert!
More like a Tron knock off
+Isatu Mansaray well they did the actual Tron ride , right in China!
Isatu Mansaray this was the one I went on
Isatu Mansaray Shutup .

Heat chamber in summer "NOOOOOOOO!!!"
Cold chamber in summer "YEEEEEEEEEEESSSS!!!!
you just had to be there as a kid with major nerves and anxiety man. such a chill but exhilarating ride
I rode this version in March 2003 and the refresh in April 2022. I feel like the old one was more informative and more interesting. Given that Epcot is more of a learning experience, this was better back then.
i miss this version
Hahaha I LOVE this mans commentary:
Speaker machine: Hey thanks for being such a good test crew
Man: Your welcome
Speaker Machine: Come back and ride anytime
man: We will
speaker machine: Bye now
Man: bye
lmao i love how sacastic the guy was: oh no its hot
oh no its's cold. ima get the flu
lol xD
Gotta love TPR's commentary.
Yeah he's always like that
Janine Frei He is awesome but man he kills me with the weeeeeee. On every ride....The guy that would annoy me if I didn’t know him at a theme park, but the guy I’d have a ball with at a theme park lol
Riding for the first time as a kid I really thought they were gonna crash the car into the wall, that’s a once in a lifetime feeling lol
same, nearly pooped my pants, also just being on that high speed made me nearly want to pass out
I was too young to ride the original so I'm glad this exists
This ride was much better than the new
My favorite ride at EPCOT! Love it!
Dammit. I went last year. That truck jump scare would have been so much fun to experience.
so much better than the new version
Yet the new version gets longer waits.
@@tny1757 Everything at Disney has longer waits nowadays...
My favorite ride of epcot centre :-) Especially good thing to do, when you go in the summer and its 35-40 C outside.
That ride looks Really fun!
As a kid always seemed so awesome. When I finally went on when I was 17 the fast part wasn't as epic as it seemed lol also I had no idea most of it was slowly moving around :(
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!
I love this! thx for uploading
I wonder why they changed it? The new one is just too dark..
Rosescarletful They want to make it more futuristic.
To promote tron back when it came out.
GM no longer wanted to sponsor the ride so that's why it changed when Disney got a new sponsor
I LOVED THAT RIDE it was so much fun...for the people who have not ben on it yet...(trust me you will have a killer time in this ride)
not a killer time since they removed the old intrance line sextion
In love with this ride
lol xD "Oh no, it's hooot! Oh, no, It's the cold! I'm gunna get tha flu" lol
I LOVE TEST TRACK SO Much
This was like the best ride ever
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
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!❤
Thank you and it looks very fun!
I LOVE THAT RIDE
This is one of my favorite rides xD
Can't believe it's been six years.
Love this ride!
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!
I LOVE THIS RIDE! So excited for Route 66 Racers!
that looks pretty awesome!
Last time I rode this was 15 years ago. It felt like a fun educational journey and a thrill at the same time.
Thx so much!!! im going tommorow and wanted this sneek peek. thanks so much!!
Weeeeeee!! I can't wait until this opens at DCA!
The warm and cold bit is like Valhalla in Blackpool !!!
"let's see how sexy we look" LMAO
been on this 7 times!
Omg I loved this ride
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 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.
This ride looks really awesome! I wish I can go to Walt Disney World some day!
oh my friend....you missed the good old days when Test Track looked more original...now it's all high tech and it takes away from the good experience....
I miss this Test Track
I first went on this ride when I was seven, then I came back this year and it was closed until the fall :( now I have to wait another six years.
one time for my 8th grade field trip like 3 years ago me and some friends rode this 22 times, its AMAZING :D
wow that looks even more.fun.than.what i thought it would be your
I love this ride

I loved the old version and the NEW ONE TOO!
This and Tower of terror are the BEST rides
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 miss this version.
that looked awesome
since it broke down, we got to ride it again no wait once it was fixed.
this one looks alot more fun then the new version i went on!
this ride is EPCOT's best ride ever!!!! my friend posted a video of the ride which i filmed!!
That is a really cool Rollercoaster :D
wish i was old enough to remember going on the original
Great Video!
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
seeing that saturn vue made me tear up, i love my car
I love it!

No point complaining, since it'd be a huge waste of money to remove all the updated technology~ ;)
this version is timeless, the new one has a minimalist futuristic aesthetic that already looks outdated.
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)
thanks for the info! definitely going to magic kingdom.
I like the new one.
@themeparkreviewTPR YOU HAVE KILLED THE MAGIC. KILLED IT ALL. WHYYYY?!!
So I only got to ride this once before the retheme, and right when we got to the barrier test, the ride shut down due to inclimate weather, and I actually got to walk down this track
Ah, the old days that I don't really remember anymore...
"it's like boeing on rocket rods that doesn't suck" hahaha
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.

While the new retheme is not going to be in a crash test setting it will show the advanced technology of cars in nature, which I think is still better than being replaced by some IP based attraction
2:51 Enjoy!
Love the silly lines
i wish thay had rides like this in cali!!
In Disneyworld they're aren't just rides...they're experiences
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!
It is so different I just went the other week and it is nothing like this anymore
I've never ridden version 1 or 2 but from watching these POVs I would probably prefer V1.
Me too.
Here after hearing that we are getting a Test Track 3.0
Gotta say, I love your commentary throughout this video. Haven't seen the updated version yet, but this was one of my favorite rides in the park
