Sometimes a test dummy character walks around Test Track to entertain people. With the test dummy character is always a "Test Track Engineer" type character dressed in a laboratory coat who helps to ensure the test dummy's safety. The clipboard that the engineer is carrying has a Hidden Mickey on it formed by perfect circles.

The giant billboards out front contain photos or pictures of the globe, well just off the west cost of Africa is a newly formed island chain, its at where the equator would be. That's right its a "Hidden Mickey"

CONFIRMED: Kaylin 07 JUL 99
Shortly after entering the Preshow area, there is a machine with a "3" on the front. When viewed straight-on it looks pretty Mickey-like, although since it's a real machine it's probably a coincidence. Although they might have picked the machine for that reason!
REPORTED: Paul Asente 10 JAN 98
While standing in line for Test Track, there are four poles holding up the white car in the midde. If you look at the front of the poles there is a number on a circle attatched to the pole such as 7. Stand at eye level in front of the number on the circle in front of it, and there are two canisters right above it that form a hidden Mickey when you look at the number from eye level.
REPORTED: Michael 22 DEC 98
It is the "Lab Test Car", station 2A. The 4 poles mentioned extend out under the front end of the car, but there are also two shafts or pipes on each side of the car, one under the other. The top one on each side has the identical Hidden Mickey as the front end ones. The lower one on each side has two smaller shafts attached to it, which also form a Hidden Mickey (though not as well-proportioned as the others.) So this one car has EIGHT hidden Mickeys -- 4 in the front, and 2 on each side!

My family and I were stuck on Test Track for a few minutes. We were stopped just at the point where you can see the dummies being crashed into the barrier ahead and to the left of us. From where we were sitting, to the right of our car was a white wipe off board. On the board in brown marker, someone had drawn a Mickey head.
REPORTED: Patty(PA) 08 NOV 99
On Test Track, right before the barrier test and right after the close-to-collision with the truck, there is a white car, on the left side as you turn the corner, next to the car is a drawing board. In about the middle of the drawing board, close to it anyway, there is a Mickey drawn and colored in with a marker. I think this may be one that was placed by a cast member working the ride and it might not always be there.
CONFIRMED: Derek Henningsen 26 MAR 00
I just want to state that the hidden Mickey that they are talking about on the drawing board before the barrier test was there, but it was wiped off and new things were written there. If they had looked close enough they would have seen my name there right by it. I was a cast member at Test Track and I put that on there one day while I was in training. I was surprised to see that someone had noticed it there. I am working in the Magic Kingdom now. But I just wanted people to know that it was there and that I was the one who had done it.
CONFIRMED: Heather Lalone 15 FEB 01
You could have seen this one if you look behind you to the the car's left when you have your picture taken during the ride right before the crash barrier but you probably are going too fast to see it. After the ride, like on so many others, you have the chance to purchase a picture of yourself. Look on the top right of the picture. There are hoses lying on the floor, guess what shape they're in?

Post Show
I just returned from a week at Disney World and was on the lookout for those hard to spot Hidden Mickey's. As I was going down the exit ramp at Test Track, I got my first glimpse of the shy creature. After I stepped out of my vehicle, I made my way down the ramp. Just as I got to the first u-turn, there it was. Hanging on a fence cleverly hidden within a STOP sign. The "O" looked vaguely familiar. I looked at it a little longer and then it hit me. It is the famous profile of the main mouse himself. This is out in the open but since it is hanging right at the spot where the ramp makes a u-turn, it can be easy to miss if you are not on the side. I did not see anymore in the ride but I am sure that they are there.

At one point in the video it shows the man rubbing his hand (in the white glove) over the hood, this is a close-up shot that just shows his hand and arm. On three of the screens, it is the man's hand, but on the other three YES its Mickey's!!!! You can distincly tell the large white glove and Mickey's small black arm.
