Tell us more. The Generations of GM Wiki is about expanding the story of General Motors to include as many relevant voices and perspectives as possible. If you have information that is pertinent to the narrative of GM, please add to the history.
The World of Motion opened at EPCOT’s Transportation pavilion on October 1, 1982 and closed January 2, 1996. Using the same ride building, the Test Track, a high speed simulate test track thrill ride, opened March 17, 1999 after various delays. Test Track, a partnership between Disney Imagineering and General Motors Engineering, was one of the most anticipated rides in Walt Disney World’s history. It remains open today and is one of the most popular attractions. If you go, look for the hidden Mickeys.
