HTP 36: Test Track at Disney's Epcot


We are at the high speed Test Track ride at Disney's Epcot in Orlando, Florida. Test Track emulates a GM testing facility. Lugnut's car locks up as he takes the Test Track ride. Lugnut keeps recording as he and his fellow riders are taken back-stage and into the garage area. Lugnut takes a few photos before a cast member tells him he is in the official back-stage area and must turn off his camera. Check the Hung Throttle Flickr page to see the photos. A few audio clips have been added to the end of this episode for our DFs (Disney Fanatics) listners. (46:50)
