New Test Track Tip for Fastpass Experience

Have you experienced this problem yet a the newly redesigned Test Track? You get a Fastpass to bypass the long lines in the stand-by line only to find out that you don't get the full design experience Imagineers made for Test Track. You only get to choose a pre-designed vehicle configuration when using FastPass.

Here is a tip to get the benefits of fully designing your vehicle. Before you enter the Fastpass line at your return time go in through the gift shop you normally exit the attraction. Ask for a keycard from one of the cast members in the Chevrolet showcase area.

Keycard links your design to the different stations in Test Track

Once you have your keycard then find a design station and fully design your vehicle to your liking. Once you have completed your design you can then take your keycard with you on the ride. After you enter the Fastpass line, by-pass the area where you collect new keycards and select a pre-configured design and head to the Sim-Car track. Using your keycard that you configured your personal design, load the design prior to getting on the ride as shown above. Enjoy the ride and see how your design did. 

This way you still enjoy the full experience of the ride AND the benefits of Fastpass!
