Did Test Track used to go faster?

If so, TRON should be on your list! It's not the fastest ride in Disney World (that title goes to Test Track, which tops out at about 65 MPH), but it's pretty close. During the initial launch, TRON riders get close to hitting 60 MPH. Essentially, it's about as fast as if you were riding a motorcycle on the highway.

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!
