I was searching RCDB and I noticed Test Track at Epcot is not considered a rollercoaster. I really liked the ride. Anyone know if this tye of ride is on RCT3? If so, what is it called?

Test Track isn't listed as a coaster because it isn't one. Each car is computer controlled, with it's own engine(electric I believe). It is attached to the road surface by many wheels(73 I believe)similarly to how a coaster train is attached to a track(road wheels, guide wheels, upstop wheels)but ultimately it's an electric car with all wheel steering clamped to the road and controlled by a computer. As for being able to build it on RCT3, I don't think you can. I wish you could though.

I heard on The Secrets of WDW from the Trave Channel that each car has a computer 5x as powerful as the computers in airplanes

Sorry Test Track is just a very big slot car not a coaster. Yeah you could make a copy of test track in Epcot with the go-karts or the little cars that go very slow.

hahaha thats true but you cant bank either of those

The car reaches 65mph and its a really fun ride. I actually been on it and it is very welled themed. I loved that ride!

Yeah it is fantastic, Disney does the best job at theming a ride

My only problem with it was the "rough road" test part. I live in WV so I'm used to rough roads, and believe me that wasn't rough at all. Other than that it's a great ride.

A lot of people thought IJST was going to be like that ride

Yeah, thats what I heard. We'll my girlfriend told me she heard they were taking out Vortex and putting in a ride like test track.

I don't know of many parks that could actually build a test track like ride. Except for Disney and Universal (which universal has yet to build a ride like it to my knowledge but I bet they could). The technology is similar to what is used on the Indiana Jones ride in California. Its a 250 HP electric motor driving the car it gets its power from the slot the car runs in. The car also actually has 22 wheels the 4 you see plus 18 that clamp the car into the track. All the tire noises are just speakers no tire on test track actually should have a squeal during the ride. Also interesting to note is the amount of stuff that ends up falling off the track onto guests as they walk under the car that goes by overhead at 65 MPH. And about the computer on board its actually 3 computers which I am not sure if its total or each one but its more powerful then the computers on the space shuttle (which is not really that hard to do).

One thing I am not sure about is the shaking of the car and the rough road test. On Indiana Jones in California its all done on the ride vehicle and the entire path is smooth. I would think that test track does it the same way but I am not sure.

From what it looks like on the ride, I think its actually like on the track. I can't say for sure though. Who knows?¿
