Should I finally go on Test Track?

[Mrs Bus Driver]

Go for it, you will most likely wonder why you waited.

[IamBelle]

I say go for it! My mom and I don't really like thrill rides, but we decided to give test track a try two years ago and loved it! My mom was a little winded when she got off, but she admitted she loved it and went on again this last trip! The outside portion isn't that bad, its like driving on the highway with the roof down.

Have fun!!

This is the favorite ride for the majority of our family. We ride it several times every vacation. My children started on it as soon as they were tall enough -- when they didn't even show on the majority of ride photos (back then it was only front left that you could see them, at all ). That being said -- we have convinced other people to ride with us many times and I have to say that the ride does feel too intense to some.

The two people that we have brought who have ridden it and then said NEVER again have very different likes. The one thing they have in common is a fear of heights. While outside, in the high speed loops, both were very aware of tilted view below. This is in the "fast" area - but I have not had any speed complaints. It was the height at this area / the banked turns that was the complaint we've heard. For us, this is nothing -- we highly recommend the ride to all -- but, apparently, it is an issue for some.

Heavens to Betsy. Do it and ENJOY.

This is a rather mild ride. If you drove to Disney I guarantee you went faster than this ride AND you weren't on a "track".

Please don't be afraid...it's a lot more hazardous to miss things in life than to live them.

[EJS-Houston]

I agree with everyone: it's not frightening...give it a go!

I just got back from my second trip to WDW and rode Test Track for the second time. Although I'm not wild about the ride, it's because I find some segments a little uncomfortable. I don't find it scary, and I'm a pretty big chicken about thrill rides. I also get motion sickness easily and this ride doesn't bother my stomach at all.

TT is, in my opinion, not what most people mean when they say "thrill ride". The speed is no greater than normal highway speed - you do feel it because you're in an open car, but it's like a convertible rather than a roller coaster train. There is one, very short, downhill. There are a few startling effects in the indoor part of the ride, but they go by quickly.

If I were you I would give it one try. You might like it, you might not. Either way, your husband will quit bugging you to try it

[cather74]

You'll be fine. It really is like riding in a speedy convertible.

[ajpa]

I am a total weenie (never go on coasters) but I love Test Track. It makes me scream around the bend outside but it's over before it can get scary.
I just read somewhere that the engine noise is fake -- the cars are electric, so they pipe in all the revving. LOL.

[figgie]

YES! I'm not the best thrill ride person, but I ride with my husband in his Miata on I-4. Test Track is just another day on the highway as far as I'm concerned!

[PAYROLL PRINCESS]

A coworker told me that this was a scary ride so I didn't go on it for a few trips. Then I went on it and couldn't believe that she thought it was scary! And I don't believe it really goes 65 mph as others have ridden on it when it was not operating properly and were limping back in and said the speed limit still read 65 mph. Go for it, you'll really like it.

[Belster]

In my po this is not a thrill ride....there are not drops...or loop de loops. The most intense part of the ride is when it goes fast around the track...just like being in a convertable on the highway.

It is so much fun!!

FYI it will mess up your hair...lol.

[Momof3BNL]

my six year old who won't ride anything hardly loves Test Track

[kemps@wdw]

63 -65 mph on a mostly flat track. And that doesn't come til the end of the ride. It's a must-do for us on each trip. But the journey to get to the fast trac is just as fun. Taking your car thru it's other "testing" is pretty cool. My goal this next trip is to video the entire ride from start to finish. Then, I can "ride" it anytime I want!

[Laughin' place]

Go for it! You will most likely find it mild and scare-free, and you may really enjoy it. Might be a real "thrill" (pun intended) for you to try it and find no fear.

Well everyone, I did it!!! Thank you for all the encouragement! Did I like it? It was ok, I think that I was mostly a nervous wreck because of the anticipation. My stomach did turn a couple of times (I am such a wimp!), but again, I think it was just becuase of not knowing what was going to happen next. Will I go on it again, mmmm, I think I will

Had a great birthday in Disney (except for the recored temps!)

[Laughin' place]

Congatulations, and Happy Birthday!

[StitchplusTink=STINK]

I love this ride!!! it is a definite must. Its only about 3 minutes long and it is so much fun!!!!

Congrats! You made it! Sometimes all it takes is a little encouragement.

[beksy]

Congratulations and Happy Late Birthday! I'm glad you had a great time and got in a new experience.

[Joannelet]

yay I'm glad you went on it and see it really wasn't a big deal!!
Of course its the unknown that makes you sooo nervous. When you go on it a 2nd time now that you know what to expect, it will be a breeze!
Hope you had a fabulous birthday too!
