Construction Walls Up At Test Track: Disney Begins Reimagining with World of Motion Influence

Construction Walls Up at Test Track - June 17 2024
Posted: Monday June 17, 2024 8:15am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Walt Disney World's Test Track is now closed to begin work on the third version of the popular EPCOT thrill ride.


The attraction closed at the end of operations on Sunday June 16, and walls are already up to block the entrance to the pavilion.

A Test Track poster is up on the front construction wall with the tagline of "Coming Soon."

Disney has not yet announced a reopening date for the next-generation Test Track attraction, but best estimates suggest that it will be closed for at least a year.

In this piece of concept art for Test Track 3.0, we see the new entrance marquee revealing a more sleek arrival area. 


Disney previously 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.


The current version 2.0 of Test Track opened in December 2012, and as part of Chevrolet's sponsorship deal with Disney, the attraction is due for a refresh.

    I guess it was authentic in a way since the wood was once in a forest.

    There was a forest scene?

    We don’t actually know the extent of it. We know the forest scene was gutted and rebuilt, that’s about it

    Correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t this ride completely gutted on the inside ?? So any sets we see are brand new built from scratch ???

    AP's were sent an email a month before our previews of TBA last year giving dates and info. May was the email and mid June was preview's, I think it opened shortly after that.

    What's surprising to me is that with LEDs they can create all kinds of unique light fixtures yet they come up with designs that look like fluorescent fixtures from 50 years ago.
