Annual Passholder previews for the newly reimagined Test Track at EPCOT got underway today, July 13 2025, and as expected, demand was extremely high. The 7:00 am virtual queue, available exclusively to Passholders with a park reservation for EPCOT, hit capacity in less than three seconds.

This lightning-fast queue fill time follows what we’ve seen with other high-demand preview events and opening days, including Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, where virtual queue slots were fully claimed within seconds of opening.

First Boarding Groups Called at 8:45 am

Disney began calling boarding groups shortly before park opening, with the first groups called, boarding groups 1 through 20, starting at 8:45 am. As of 9:45 am, groups 22 to 27 were being called.

How the Preview System Works

Each day of the Passholder preview period (July 13 - 19, excluding July 17) includes two virtual queue distribution times:

7:00 am – Available only to Passholders with a valid EPCOT park reservation
1:00 pm – Available to all Passholders with valid admission, even without a park reservation

Joining the queue is done via the My Disney Experience app, and each Passholder may join the queue only once per day. There is no standby line, and boarding group access is not guaranteed due to limited capacity.

The reimagined Test Track officially opens to all guests on July 22, 2025. Stay tuned for more updates as the preview period continues.

I loved the first Test Track because it was the first “fast” ride I ever enjoyed. And I really liked the charm and idea of it. I’m a fan of the game Portal, so the idea of being put through “tests” like that made me feel like I was in a similar type of game world lol never put that into words before. Not sure anyone else would see the connection but I did for some reason. 2.0 was fine, but a little too IP for me, where as 1.0 felt more unique. 3.0 has that real authentic Disney feel… only saw the video so far, but I know it’s gonna be my favorite :)

1.0: Best at telling its story 2.0: Best music 3.0: Best EPCOT feeling

I liked the premise of 1.0 and now 3.0. 2.0 to me was a theming miss.

I'm intrigued how seemingly evenly-distributed everyone's favorite version is. If I took the time to tally all the opinions on this forum (I won't!) it seems pretty much one-third each. Everyone has their reasons. For example, I love the video of 3.0 even more than actually riding 1.0 & 2.0.... primarily because of how it incorporates WoM & Horizons vibes (hope to go soon, because I know a video can never do justice).

I rode the original version many times. 🤷‍♀️ Overall, 2.0 was an improvement, but some portions of the original were better. I still always think 'anti-lock brakes,' when riding through the anti-lock brake portion of the ride, for example. Alas, the original ride often didn't run at all when it was new. It was down more often than it was running. 😁

Agreed... their original vision depended upon dedicated sponsors "climbing over each other indefinitely" (and it is primarily why WS never lived up to the original "blue sky;" imo it's why TT3.0 seems great ...it's the one pavilion that's never suffered from a lack of sponsor (plus they boast of being EPCOT's 1st)). The most-recent news trickling in since late August has made me ever-so-cautiously optimistic (naively hopeful?). Disney gets much flack (some deserved, some not), but I keep reminding myself they're also dealing with all the problems of managing a sprawling complex on land that's still technically a swamp.

Original vision had sponsors playing a bigger role but yes, more things should have seen updates by now ideally

based on original vision (all pavilions redone every 10 years) we're due versions 4 & 5 respectively ;)

You probably wouldn't have liked the first version of Test Track seeing as how it was virtually the same experience every time. The interactive stuff (which rarely worked, anyway) was unique to version 2.

3.0 is great music. I’ve added it to my Apple Music library and never skip if one of the songs comes up on shuffle.

I will always be an Epcot purist but love the 3.0 theme. I love the narration! Feels more like Epcot Center to me

I actually love the 3.0 music. I love this version a billion times better than 1 or 2! I listen to the soundtrack on YouTube.

I actually really like the new music as you wander around the front of the park. Just wish they integrated some classic Epcot themes sporadically. I enjoy its nods to the Innoventions loop.
