A large section of the canopy support structure has now been removed from the front of Test Track at EPCOT.

The canopy is being permanently removed for this third generation of Test Track to provide a more streamlined look to the pavilion.


On the inside, crews continue to load in materials for the new set scenes for the update ride experience.

Disney says Test Track will celebrate today's innovation while highlighting the past, present, and future.

The queue will feature six distinct exhibits, and within each room celebrate the vehicles – and people behind the vehicles – that push the envelope and help get people to our next chapter in our motion journey. 

New show scenes will be added showcasing technological advances and how our lifestyles and relationships to mobility connect everyone. Enjoy a joy ride through scenes focusing on onboard technology, customization and personalization. Followed by a trip through a scenic outdoor route reminding us all of the joys of driving, taking in the world around us and spending quality time with friends and family.

    When I read that the ride could be a drive through a forest while It’s Fun to be Free is playing made me excited

    I wouldn't hate this, to be honest. Night time drive through a dark forest would be a nice change of pace.

    FIFY Though I wouldn't use the word hate. More like criticism.

    Was the pun intentional?

    That and the fact that the whole thing is just boring.

    Just start repeating that buzzword yourself for an easy raise. Surrender to the dark side.

    I would’ve liked test track to go back to its roots more. Going all forest theming would sorta leaf world of motion type inspiration in the dust. But I’m open to imagineering branching out on what test track can be. I’m sure it’ll grow on me. You’ll all get it eventually.

    I’m still mad from when I was 9 and didn’t find out till the actual ride you didn’t get to test your actual car that you designed.
