Test Track began development in 1992, as a replacement for the World of Motion. General Motors had sponsored the World of Motion pavilion (which focused on the history of transportation) since 1982; however the pavilions popularity had been waning. When GM’s sponsorship ran up in 1992 the company was unsure whether or not to renew. After sponsoring the pavilion on a year to year basis, General Motors chose to renew their sponsorship, but with the understanding that a new attraction would need to be constructed. When developing a new attraction for the pavilion, General Motors gave Disney the instructions to narrow its focus to the automobile (as opposed to all of transportation). With this in mind, Disney Imagineers went back to an old idea. During the initial development of the World of Motion, WED Engineers had gone to a GM testing ground in order to get information on how cars were tested. Taking their inspiration from this trip, Imagineering pitched the idea of Test Track- an “E-ticket” attraction that would allow guests to experience the rigorous training that General Motors automobiles went through before they were brought to the public.
