Its a ride at Epcot that simulates a GM Test Track experience. The old version took you through an assembly line queque, then you watched a short video. Then boarded a Test Vehicle and became a Crash Test Dummy.

This is actually kinda funny to see this on here. I just went to Epcot today and went on that ride. When you come out at the end it puts you into a showroom, and you can actually take pictures with that ZL1 (which of course I did), and Disney will email them to you. They also have the Stingray concept (Sideswipe) in the showroom. My son got a kick out of it (probably not as much as me though). That other car is a concept that you will see as soon as you get into the building as you stand in line. I forget what it is called (got lots of pics though). From what I understand it is a mid-engine hybrid. They play a video of it out on the test track, that you can watch while you stand in line. The ride is so-so, but the whole experience of it is pretty cool. They also have lots of Corvette and Camaro gifts in the shop at the end, which I thought was pretty cool. I had to pick up a die cast replica Black 2010 2SS of my car while I was in there, which was actually pretty reasonably priced at $14.95. On a side note, if you have kids that are into Disney's Cars and Cars 2, you can find a couple of the movie characters in there that you have probably never seen in stores.

Highly recommend getting a fast pass early in the morning. When we got there at 10am today, they had given out all fast passes for the day already. The park wasn't even remotely close to being packed, and the regular line was an hour and a half. Even with a fast pass, the line was 40 minutes.

Rode the Test Track on my honeymoon 2 years ago and it was awesome. I can't wait to get the money for us to go again, especially now that the new Test Track is sponsored by Chevy!
