Disney has provided a fresh update on the reopening timeline for the reimagining of Test Track at EPCOT. In a newly released press statement, the company confirmed that the attraction is now scheduled to reopen in late summer 2025.

NOTE: Disney issued a timeline correction on December 3 at 10:10 am, updating the opening from late 2025 to late summer 2025. The previous version of this article listed late 2025.

According to Disney, the reimagined Test Track presented by General Motors will offer guests a thrilling experience that celebrates over a century of mobility advancements. The updated attraction aims to explore the past, present, and future of transportation, blending storytelling and innovation to create a unique journey through the evolution of mobility.

The reimagining process is being led by Walt Disney Imagineering in collaboration with General Motors. The attraction will highlight more than 100 years of progress in automotive technology while pushing forward into the future with an emphasis on personalization, onboard technology, and sustainability.

Work on this next-generation Test Track is already underway, and updates have included permits for new set installations and enhancements to the show building. Disney has also teased new scenes and exhibits in the queue that will offer a deeper dive into the ingenuity behind automotive innovation.

Stay tuned for more updates as construction progresses toward the late 2025 reopening.

So it's GM now rather than just Chevrolet?

Hoping the slightly longer than anticipated timeline is indicating lots of elaborate sets. Interesting to hear they will be testing throughout the first half of the year. I wonder if that’s any indication to the completeness of the interior by that point, considering that’s when testing begins to occur

I mean more in fan praise. 2.0 was pretty mixed in regards of that.

It might help the direction of SSE's Redo if TT 3.0 is a classic Epcot hit.....

Based on wait times, TT has always been successful. This refresh changes nothing. This was motivated by GM and corporate sponsorship.

if test track is massively successful, it might get disney to realize that "epcot" stuff is in demand, and invest in that. Hell we might actually see a new JII in that case

Just to help me visualise it though, when you say Pixar Pier was $100 million, what did that cover?

This is the most excited I've been for a new Parks project in YEARS. I honestly believe they're doing this refurb in the absolute best possible way, and I cannot wait to see it open.

Hopefully it is the start of a trend with quality Epcot ride redo’s. Honestly, in general, I hope more rides get the refresh treatment rather than total retheme.
