— a note from the studio

“A ride at Epcot in Walt Disney World. Guests design a virtual concept car at a touchscreen kiosk, then board a six-seat SimCar through tests of capability and efficiency before a final outdoor lap at about sixty-five miles per hour. It opened in 1999, was rebuilt in 2012, and is in another refurbishment that began in June 2024.

Test Track, on ceramic.

Each tile is finished by hand in our Knoxville studio. Artwork is slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, and rests beneath a thin glossy finish. The colour lives in the surface, not on top of it.

— about Test Track

The place, in three passes.

A little of what's known, in case you fall down the rabbit hole — or want to go see it yourself.

— the place

Test Track is an attraction in the World Discovery neighborhood of Epcot at Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. It opened on March 17, 1999, replacing the original World of Motion pavilion. A second version, reskinned around a Chevrolet design studio, opened on December 6, 2012. A third refurbishment closed the ride in June 2024, with reopening targeted for the summer of 2025. At about 65 mph on the outdoor speed loop, the attraction is the fastest at any of the four Walt Disney World parks.

— the visit

Test Track sits in the World Discovery section of Epcot, accessible with a standard park ticket. The attraction uses a Single Rider line and the park's Lightning Lane multi-pass for shorter waits; standby times routinely exceed 60 minutes during peak periods. The minimum height is 40 inches, or 102 centimetres. The ride is partly outdoors and operates rain or shine within Disney's lightning protocols. The 2024-2025 refurbishment is reverting the design theme closer to the original World of Motion lineage.

— the year

Epcot runs four annual festivals that shape Test Track waits: the International Festival of the Arts (January-February), Flower and Garden (March-July), Food and Wine (August-November), and the Festival of the Holidays (late November-December). Waits are shortest at park-open and during the late-evening Luminous nighttime show around the World Showcase Lagoon. Florida's summer afternoon thunderstorms briefly close the outdoor loop; the indoor portions usually keep running through the storm.

— common questions

What people ask.

A few questions we get about Test Track — and about bringing the piece home.

— about the place

A guest-designed ride at Walt Disney World's Epcot park, where a six-seat SimCar runs through capability and efficiency tests before a final outdoor speed loop at about sixty-five miles per hour.

Around 65 miles per hour on the outdoor speed loop, making it the fastest attraction at any of the four Walt Disney World parks. The indoor portions run slower for the test-track theming.

The original Test Track opened on March 17, 1999. A Chevrolet-themed reskin opened on December 6, 2012. A third refurbishment began in June 2024, with reopening targeted for the summer of 2025.

Riders must be at least 40 inches, or 102 centimetres, tall. Guests using mobility devices transfer at the load area. The attraction offers a Rider Switch service for parties with smaller children.

Yes. Single Rider routinely cuts wait times by half or more, with the trade-off that members of a party may ride in different SimCars. The Lightning Lane multi-pass is the other shortcut.

— about the piece in your home

We have customers who collect WenderVista pieces of meaningful Disney memories — proposals on the speed loop, first rides with their kids. A Keepsake or Small carries the memory without overtaking a shelf.

The Voynich palette and the curved track give the piece a mid-century-modern energy. It sits well in retro-futurist, mid-century-modern, and atomic-age interiors next to brass and walnut.

Retro-futurism — Googie, atomic age, 1960s concept-car aesthetics — has held as a steady decor current alongside mid-century-modern. A Test Track tile reads as that lineage without quoting a specific brand.

A single Large reads at sofa scale. A 4-tile Mural fills a longer wall; a 9-tile Mural carries a great room. A Medium or pair of Smalls works above most consoles.

Yes, in the Dura Satin or Matte finish. Both are scratch-resistant and hold up in humid rooms. Glossy is best kept to dry wall installations.

A soft microfibre cloth and water. No abrasive cleaners and no solvents. The colour lives in the ceramic surface and the thin top finish keeps it stable for ordinary household wiping.

Yes. Every WenderVista piece is curated by Reid Wender and hand-finished in the Knoxville studio. We do not license images in or out.
