Review
I've never been a huge car person. I appreciate cars, but I'm not one to drool over a new Hemi. Actually, I'm not even sure what a Hemi is. However, I am a big fan of Test Track. The ride starts out with a very entertaining video that lets you know why automotive tests are so vital. Then it's time to hit the road. The tests that they put the convertible through are varied and fun, but this ride shines when it goes outside and cranks the speed to over 60 MPH. While this sounds more like regular highway traffic than a thrill ride, the convertible nature of the car and the pitch of the track make it an exhilerating experience. A must ride.
