We were just at Disney the beginning of this week. It was my DBF's first time to Epcot and we wanted to ride Test Track. We first decided to ride Universe of Energy which is a 45 minute show. When we were leaving it was pouring, so we headed over to Mission Space where DD11 rode as a single rider, then her and DBF went on as single riders (he loved it). We then went to get lunch and see "Honey I shrunk the Audience". It had stopped raining for over 2 hours, we decided to go see if Test Track was opened, it was. The single rider line said 30 minutes and regular stand by said 55 mins. Since this was BF first time I said lets go Stand by. HUGE mistake. Since Test Track was down for 3 hours there were alot of Fast Passers. Our wait time was about 2 hours. They would take about 5 FPr's for every 1 stand by. By the time we got to the front of the line there were no Fast Passers. A lot of people were complaining because it said 55 minutes and waiting 2 hours is ridiculous. Its just too big of a time difference.

Just wanted to warn people that if it rains just know they will let all the fast passers on first. I understand thats what the whole thing is about. But for every 100 fast passers only 20 stand by. Poor little girl in front of us had to use the bathroom and dad kept telling her to wait. I told him take her and we will hold your place but he waited.
 
yes, test track gets very crowded every day and not just rainy days. The wait for the ride is always anywhere from an hour to 2 hours plus. Its just a very popular ride. I love it though :teeth:
 
Yes, I agree. Test Test is very popular. There are lines every day and when it closes for any reason the FP people will cause a mess on the stand by lines.
We also love it and try to get there first thing, grab FP, get on the stand by and ride again with the FP.
I have seen FP return times many hours later if you don't get there early. The FP also run out early in the afternoons on some days.
 
Agreed, we ride TT first in the morning. Then we ride the less popular and less likely to break down rides after that, Like UOE, Imagination, Spaceship Earth.

Glad you had a good time though!!!!
Did you DBF like EPCOT besides the TT line!??
