As guests enter the pavilion, they are surrounded by an informative and entertaining pre-show that describes – in display models and videos – the incredible amount of component and safety testing GM engineers perform on individual systems prior to any commitment to production. Exhibits explain testing on everything from engines to door latches to structure and suspension.
Guests enter test vehicles get a firsthand look at how GM cars and trucks are tested before being brought to market. The test vehicles are powered by three onboard computers which together have more processing power than the Space Shuttle. Riders experience road handling, impact testing, suspension testing on variable road surfaces, and more. The testing schedule includes an engine-roaring, three-story ascent; a wildly out-of-control skid; and a 50 degree banked curve outside the pavilion at 65 mph.
The Test Track post-show takes guests on a multimedia assembly plant adventure, showcasing the latest GM models. A specialty shop features high-end automotive collectibles and merchandise.
