Test Track. So much more going on throughout the ride. Loved the older edition and queue better but even with the redo TT wins.

Slinky Dog is the Shortest Ride in all the Parks

Shorter than 'mine train'?

 

[DisneyWall-E]

I thought Barn Stormer was the shortest.

I'd really like to see Test Track replaced at EPCOT as an aside. I don't hate it but they could do much better things with the space. And why did 2.0 ever happen again?

Technically yes it is but I wasn't including Kids Rides You also have to take into account that SDD has a pause in the middle of it for relaunch

Slinky needed to be a minute or so longer.

Test Track has been ruined since the update they did many years ago. Of course the end speed rush is still nicely done.

I'm not crazy about the theming and some parts of Test Track, but it's more fun and interesting than anything in Toy Story Land.

Test Track used to be a great ride. Now, it seems more like a Chevy advert with no real point to the ride.

The original concept of LEARNING about how cars are tested was vastly superior and fit the EPCOT theme.

At the risk of rummaging through 2000 odd pages on this forum - why did they actually make Test Track an actual worst attraction than the original incarnation ?

A brief synopsis will do.

It fits Epcot more and hides the infrastructure far better than in 1.0 so it doesn’t look like an open warehouse. It lets guest be more creative and learn about the design process and has an actual post show and not just a giant showroom with one little off to the side exhibit. It’s also far more aesthetically pleasing

TT is very dated imo. But I dont see Disney spending money updating that ride for another decade or so.

but yes Test Track is a very middling attraction.

Totally disagree. It’s terrible now and the design process is a complete beating after once. Then, nothing works from the design when you’re on the ride.

I don’t know the reasoning, but I think it has something to do with Chevrolet wanting to showcase their cars as “high tech” and what not. LOVED the old Test Track, but in the world of cars, people want the newest and best. 2.0 makes it (from a 2010s lense) seem like Chevrolet is technologically advanced and thus makes their brand more enticing for the consumer. On the other hand, nothing was “newer or better” with the testing and car design processes in 1.0.

I think 2.0 was made to showcase their cars through the 2010 lense, when everyone wanted “high-tech” cars.

Test track is more immersive, has better theming, and is a much more complete ride… but Slinky makes me giggle like a little kid every time I ride it and for that reason alone I voted slinky.

Slinky Dog Dash was a one and done for me.
