Test Track
(more photos below)
This is one of my favorite attractions at Epcot. Imagine a
life-size version of a slot-car set with lots of curves and
hills, hand the controls over to a devilish hobbyist, and you
have a good idea of what's in store. After going through a
number of tests--like the hill climb, the brake test, extreme
temperatures tests, and more--you narrowly avoid a collision
with a truck before you zoom into the speed test, which is an
incredible rush! You finish the course after reaching top
speeds of about 65 mph--and around a very sharp curve, to
boot. Be sure to check out the photo of your experience at the
image-capture station.
After your stint as a test dummy, be sure to stop by Fuel
For Thought, a new (late 2006) exhibit about the Flex Fuel
system that allows specially-equipped cars and trucks to run
on ethanol-rich fuel.
