Test Track to be reimagined with inspiration from the original World of Motion

New Test Track concept art
Posted: Saturday September 9, 2023 10:06am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Disney has today announced that Imagineers, along with teams from Chevrolet are reaching back into history for inspiration – from the original World of Motion – and bringing that spirit of optimism to the next iteration of the Test Track attraction at EPCOT.

Details are scarce, but Disney has released a piece of concept art of the new experience. The look of the concept art suggests that Test Track may be moving into the EV era.

The current version of Test Track opened in December 2012, and as part of Chevrolet's sponsorship deal with Disney, the attraction is due for a refresh. No closing date or timeframe for the update has been announced.

    I've been to EPCOT countless times, ridden Test Track so so many times, these experiences feel so fresh, I feel like I could navigate the place blindfolded... and yet when I really think about it the last time I went was probably 2006. I was in high school then, I'm in my 30's now, it doesn't feel like I've changed, surely if I shave this beard I'd still look like my graduation photos right? It's so strange to consider that there is a whole long lasting incarnation of this ride that I never experienced, I sure hope I get to do this new one.

    agree Mexico's is not becoming to it at all starting to look junky

    Looking a lot better! One perhaps minor gripe is that I wish they could find a more graceful way to integrate those cameras into the environment. On this pavilion and the Mexico pavilion, they really stand out. I know that may seem minor, but it's the kind of detail that Disney built their reputation on taking into account.

    that new awning looks really really good. So so so much better than that terrible canopy they had for years... This is aestheticly a small but major change for the better.

    As someone who has ridden each incarnation of SSE, including the short lived original, I can definitely say you are not old :)
