[2] Visitors would board moving four to six person Omnimover vehicles, and would be taken through scenes that were populated with Audio-Animatronic figures and also projection effects.

It was a whimsical look at the history and achievements in transportation, showing scenes from the invention of the wheel right up to the present day and beyond.

The grand finale of the attraction attempted to predict a real future for transportation, with CenterCore, a sparkling metropolis that seemed to be in perpetual motion, and Pepper's Ghost illusions putting guests into futuristic vehicles.

At the ride's conclusion, visitors disembarked into the TransCenter, an interactive area about new products in development by GM.

GM has continued its sponsorship in World of Motion's replacement attraction, Test Track, since its opening in 1999.

The premise of the ride was to be a humorous look into the history of transportation, from the ancient days of foot power, through time into the future.

General Motors signed a 10-year sponsorship deal for the ride, in a move to compete with Ford (which had sponsored a Disney-created attraction at the 1964 New York World's Fair).

The second scene presented the earliest means of overwater transportation, people traveling on projected boats and a man fast asleep on a raft floating while a crocodile lunges at him.

The chaos included items such as an upset horse, a spilling ice truck, and kids screaming during the 1900s.

Guests then traveled past the open road scenes which include a man who crashed a bicycle, a family picnic, and early 40s and 50s cars and a suspicious policeman.

Riders left their Omnimover vehicles and went to the TransCenter, which was full of exhibits and showed about transportation and the things surrounding it.

An exhibit called Aerotest educated people about air-flow on auto concepts and fuel economy.

Business slumped with General Motors after the second sponsorship deal ended for World of Motion in 1992, and as a result, GM started signing 1-year contracts for the ride.

However, a suggested idea to gut the building and turn it into a new attraction stuck with Disney representatives and GM businessmen.

The closing of World of Motion forced the reopening of Horizons, another Disney attraction that focused on the future of the family.

The theme song for the ride was "It's Fun to Be Free", written by X Atencio ("Yo Ho (A Pirate's Life for Me)" from Pirates of the Caribbean and "Grim Grinning Ghosts" from The Haunted Mansion), and Buddy Baker, another legendary Disney composer.
