Is Test Track open again?

[WillJenDisney]

I know it was closed for part of Jan and Feb, wanted to know if it was open again and if it was working better (not stopping as often). Thanks

From what I've read elsewhere, it has indeed reopened. They resurfaced the roads, painted everything, and put some new monitors in the preshow rooms. Also , someone on another board said that they upgraded the software that runs the ride, so hopefully there will be less breakdowns. They haven't done anything about the audio doesn't work sometimes-- I rode once last year with no audio whatsoever, which meant no engine sounds or squealing tires or voices-- just silence. It was pretty boring.

I talked to a CM once who said that Test Track "breaks down" so often because there are so many variables in play. It's probably the most technically complex attraction at WDW, hence the frequent down time. I'd be curious to find out if Journey to the Center of the Earth at Tokyo DisneySea breaks down that often, because it uses the same ride system.

It is, indeed, back up and running. But from what I've heard, it hasn't really improved much. A fellow CM rode it and the audio in his car didn't work, lol.

We rode it last week on the 15th, first day it reopened. Worked great, had audio and other sound effects, only thing that didn't work was they didn't take our picture. We did the single rider line and got on quicker than the fastpass line - only 10 minutes.
