As long as they meet the height requirement of 40 inches, most young children should be able to enjoy this low-level family thrill ride. We think ages 5 and up are generally good to go, but even younger can experience Test Track if loud noises and darkness do not upset them.

Test Track at Epcot is generally considered a "family-friendly" thrill ride, but it carries a 40-inch (102 cm) height requirement that parents must respect in 2026. The ride is divided into two halves: the indoor "testing" portion and the outdoor "high-speed" loop. Most kids enjoy the creative aspect of designing their own "SIM Car" on giant touchscreens in the queue. The indoor portion involves some sudden braking, sharp turns, and a "near-miss" with a semi-truck that might startle very young or sensitive children, but it contains no major drops or inversions. The final outdoor segment is the highlight, where the car accelerates to 65 miles per hour on a banked track; while fast, the sensation is similar to riding in a convertible on the highway rather than a plummeting roller coaster. If your child is brave enough for Big Thunder Mountain or Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, they will likely handle Test Track with ease. However, for those with a profound fear of loud noises or wind in their face, the final 60-second speed burst might be a bit intense.
