I liked the old one and I like the new one.
The only reason I was glad they changed TT is because everyone had been on it, to the point where they talked through the pre-show, or they talked along with it. Annoying.
My only complaint is that I have yet to design a car because we don't stay on site and we haven't done FP+. Will this ever be open for us regular folks?

The new one is very confusing to me. This is because the old test track was a perfect representation of feeling like a "test dummy." The new ride does not have that feel its almost as if they should of just changed the whole name and made it an entirely new ride. Test Track is still one of my favorites though, shooting out through the wall and out onto the track is a blast, but the concept is now lacking.

Well, at least I can save a premium FP for another ride. The old version was ok to me, but was becoming boring, so much so we'd do single rider just to get through it as quickly as possible, now I'm not even wasting my time over there !!

I like the new one fine. I liked the old one as well...liked the idea of being a crash-test dummy.
I've ridden the new one a few times. The first time I didn't like it at all...it was confusing and disjointed. I got off of it thinking that it was much like trying to push a square peg through a round hole with the repurposing of some parts of the track (such as the tractor trailer). The second go-round, I liked it much better.

I completely agree! I'm really not one to mourn the changing of rides (except alien encounter into Stitch).
I think it looks good, but you're right, it's missing a little dash of salt or something. Battles would be cool.
I do agree with the original poster about the queue. I actually don't mind most disney lines because there is stuff to look at. Not the case here.

My son called me at work from Disney just yesterday...complaining about it...he was quite upset. No more Hot/Cold room, no more "bumps"... What were they thinking????
(PS...We really liked "Alien Encounter" over "Stitch" by a long shot...the "Grown Ups" were hilarious......some of them seemed to believe the aliens had REALLY landed in Disney..."People watching" amused us so much, we rode it multiple times....)

Not a fan of the new Test Track. I think it's Tron in box. Nothing about it excites me.

It's riding in a car. Though test manuevers. Do you get sick in a car?

I don't know, maybe I'm misguided, but I tend to prefer the current version. It has ambition that suits Epcot in a way very few attractions in the park still do.
Sure, the plot is utterly incoherent. It makes no sense. But it has ideas and at least makes an effort to belong in Future World. The old Test Track was soulless. And while it was easier to follow, the story that was there was vapid and lame.
Test Track now as an eye on the future. It could use a pair of glasses, though.

I def preferred the old version, but one thing kept coming back to me.
Today, cars are tested on computers many times before being actually built. While the final test may be on the old style test track, they never make it in reality before being simulated. the old test track was great IMO, but to be more relevant to today's time I think they did an amazing job. It's a nice spin on an older classic.
but who wouldn't love a modern version of World of Motion?

I agree !!
You are not the only one longing for the old version. I liked it, outdated or not.

I can't say that I hate the new one... I did enjoy the old version, but I enjoy the new one as well- that is, when it decides to work. ><

Although I am normally very nostalgic I have never been a fan of Test Track's original version. I have not ridden the newer version, although it looks like an improvement to me on what I thought was...well, kinda boring. I wouldn't mind if they totally revamped the whole thing and went entirely to a Tron theme.
That said, I would prefer World of Motion so I guess my purist side still shines through.

I will be riding the new one for the first time in September. These comments are not making me excited.

I like the new one better. My son never wanted to ride the old one. I showed him videos of the new version prior to our last trip and it ended up being his favorite ride. He rode it over 10 times. I rode it about 5 times with him. I think it is a huge improvement (visually) over the old version.

I prefer the new version of the queue and line. I think it is a faster way to pass the time. As far as the ride itself, I do prefer the old version for the most part.
