Test Track to Reopen December 6, 2012

Posted on by AllEars
When Test Track reopens, this reengineered attraction will allow guests to experience the fun world of automotive design first-hand. Guests will first enter a Design Studio and make a series of selections (as an individual or a group) to create their ideal virtual custom concept vehicle. They then board a six-passenger SimCar for a test drive to see how their own design compares to the attraction's SimCar in Capability, Efficiency, Responsiveness and Power.

Visiting the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival can be a wonderful evening for adults. In fact, many Disney fans and local residents look forward to this special event all year.
