Take a Ride on the New Test Track!

Somewhat lost a bit in all the news about the New Fantasyland opening…is the fact that Test Track…a huge favorite over at Epcot….is back! And it looks awesome!

The attraction zooms in on how meticulous vehicle design influences top performance on the open road and lets guests see how their virtual cars would perform.”

And if you, like me, are a huge fan of Test Track, then check out the video below to get an idea of what to expect:

Terrific Tuesday: Future World Attractions

   

As you walk through the gates of Epcot, you enter the Future World.  The first attraction encountered is the giant sphere that houses Spaceship Earth.  Here you’ll take a ride through the centuries and learn about the history of communication.  You will also create your own future with the touch screen computer located in your “car”.  Following the ride, there is an interactive post show where visitors can play virtual reality games and even send your trip to the future via email post card home to friends and family.  Read more
