Can kids do Test Track?

Height Requirements: Children under the age of 7 cannot ride Test Track without being accompanied by an adult and a height restriction of 40" is in effect but parents may wish to use the "rider switch" option.



Yes, children can ride Test Track at EPCOT, but they must meet a specific height requirement of 40 inches (102 cm) or taller. Because the attraction involves high speeds (up to 65 mph), sharp turns, and sudden braking during the "simulated test" sequences, the restraint system is designed for a specific body size to ensure safety. For children who meet the height requirement but may be nervous, it is helpful to know that the first half of the ride is a slow-moving "indoor" section where they "design" their own virtual concept car; the high-speed thrill only occurs during the outdoor loop at the end. In 2026, Disney utilizes a "Rider Switch" (Child Swap) program for Test Track, allowing one adult to wait with a child who is too short or unwilling to ride, while the rest of the party rides. Afterward, the waiting adult can board through a shorter queue without having to wait in the full standby line again.

If test Track was just 2 laps around the outside track, I'd say it would be a 100% improvement. All of the indoor stuff is just filler. The kids enjoy “designing” the cars, sure, but let's face it, nothing really changes about the ride, just theoretical performance stats. It is a sweet rush once you get outside though!
