===Original Test Tack (1999-2012)===
====Queue and Preshow====
The story that the original Test Track told began when guests entered the queue. Once in line, they entered an area that was themed to look like an industrial testing laboratory. In the laboratory, there were two different kinds of tests. First, in the Quality Zone, guests could see how General Motors used various technologies in their vehicles and how these components were tested. The second part of the queue consisted of the Quality Zone, where guests could see how brakes, wheels, airbags, suspensions, seat belts and the windshield were all tested. As guests moved further into the queue they could see various "Snap-On" tools and GM's test machine, while television sets showed other tests being performed.
After passing through the turnstiles, guests reached the preshow room. Here, they would watch a video hosted by Bill McKim. Bill told a technician that he wanted to set up certain tests, as guests watched a short clip showing what each test would entail. Before guests boarded their cars, Bill told the technician that he wanted a "surprise test", which was accompanied by a clip of a car crashing into a barrier. After watching the video , guests proceed to the loading area, where they boarded their cars.
====Main Ride====

'''Environmental Chambers'''- After going through the brake test, the cars entered the Environmental Chambers. Here, guests were exposed to extreme heat (110°F) and extreme cold (10°F), before they were sprayed with a corrosion mist by robots.
'''Ride Handling Test'''- The next test that the guests endured, tested the car's handling. In the handling tests, the car climbed up a series of hills, while increasing its speed and making blind turns. At the top of the hill the car almost drove directly into an oncoming semi, before dodging it at the last second.
'''Barrier Test'''- After completing the handling test, guests experienced the test shown in the preshow film: = the barrier test. At this time, the car lined up with a barrier and began to accelerate towards it. Just before hitting the barrier however, a series of flashes occurred and the barrier flew out of the way. At this point guest's picture were taken, which could later be purchased in the pavilion’s shop.
'''High Speed Lap'''- After the barrier moved away, guests found themselves outside and moving at a much faster rate. As the car took a lap along the banked roadway, guests could reach speeds of up to 65 miles per hour. After the lap had ended, a thermal scan was taken of guests before they unloaded into the gift shop.
NOTE: As opposed to designing their own car within the design studio, FastPass + and Single Riders are given 30 seconds to choose a predesigned car.
After boarding their SimCars, guests first perform the capability test. Here, the car connects to OnStar before accelerating past rain and snow, and skidding out of control. The car's path then disappears and the SimCar speeds up again, before taking a sharp left as lightning strikes nearby. The SimCar then passes a futuristic city, completing the capability test. After the test, guests can see which car scored the highest, before guests they move on.
Following the capability test, guests go through the efficiency test. In the first part of the test, the cars are scanned for "optimum eco-efficiency". Following the scan, the cars go through an aerodynamic test and a "hyper-spectrum imaging" takes place. Following the efficiency test, guests once again see their car's score.
The third test that guests go through on Test Track is the responsiveness test. Here, the SimCar accelerates and takes sharp turns around laser trees, before entering a tunnel and narrowly missing crashing into a semi. After seeing their responsiveness scores, guests go through the power test. After momentarily stopping, the SimCar accelerates through a series of flashing purple arches and into a wall, (which has the Test Track logo on it) , that flies open. After passing through the wall, guests find themselves on the exterior track where the car continues to accelerate, taking a right turn, a wide left turn, and then finally one more long left turn. Following the power test guests arrive back at the loading area.
