World of Motion, presented by General Motors, was a road trip through the evolution of transportation. It opened in 1982 with the rest of Epcot Center. The outside was shaped like a huge silver wheel with passenger cars spiraling up at the entrance. It contained the greatest number of Audio-Animatronics in Future World. Thirty scenes spanned the different ages from the use of feet to the first traffic jam.

After the ride guests entered into Transcenter. Here guests could view cars of the future and other unique shows and displays such as "Bird and the Robot" and "Water Engine Theater". Guests could also design there own cars and witness aerodynamic tests.

World of Motion closed in 1995, when General Motors and Disney began construction on Test Track. Test Track had many delays and didn't open until 1999 although it was supposed to open in 1998. The entrance to the pavilion is now covered. The outdoor part of the original ride is now just the inside waiting line for Test Track.
