VIDEO: Travelocity Takes a Spin on Disney’s Test Track

Earlier this year, Disney and Chevrolet teamed up to re-invent Epcot’s Test Track attraction — the longest and fastest attraction in Walt Disney history!  On my latest visit to Walt Disney World, I felt the need for speed, and decided to take a spin.  Maybe you can’t tell from the video, but I was flying at speeds of 65 miles per hour!  Using Disney’s Fastpass (don’t go to Disney without one!) I was able to skip the long lines and get right to the high-octane fun.  Add Test Track to the list of attractions that both parents and kids can enjoy.  It’s educational, innovative with just the right amount of adrenaline-pumping action.

The Wave…of American Flavors is Disney’s foray into the realm of a sustainable, environmentally-friendly and market-inspired approach to casual dining.
