The Taste Track Burgers and Fries kiosk at Epcot is now in position by the Cool Wash kiosk outside Test Track.

When it opens, the kiosk will offer burgers, fries and salads, and is intended as a temporary replacement for the Electric Umbrella, which will soon close as part of the Epcot redevelopment project.

A closing date for the Electric Umbrella is still to be confirmed.

Too bad the other park down the road has a much better IP for that (Even if the IP is owned by disney, but not the theme park rights?)

Or park a police car next to it...

They at least need to have some fun with the themeing if it's a doughnut shop right outside test track... Put some doughnut tire marks on the building and ground around it.

Well it never did make it even after the reopening - taste Track has become the Donut Box.

The list doesn’t represent locations that that are reopening. It represents that cast statused to those locations are being called back.

According to the places to eat coming back list, Electric Umbrella cast members got their callbacks ? I thought it was gutted ? But its on the list of returning resturant locations in Epcot on the front page ?

I wouldn't be surprised if it comes back now due to the hub-jub of nonsense were dealing with to cut corners..Hopefully, they haven't gutted anything inside as of yet.

My guess would be, yes. Eventually.

Despite looking like it could open any minute, it never did make it to an opening, this was shot on the last day of operations.

Still not open, but likely anytime now.

I also like the name and the theme of Electric Umbrella. It harks back to a time when Disney would create unique, slightly off-beat theming and aesthetics for the parks that gave them their own atmosphere and feel. The Centorium to Mousegear transformation is an example of the opposite trend toward a Disney Store-ification and general mall-ification of retail and dining. So, I'd also like them to keep the name and just update the aesthetics and, above all, the menu of the place. I don't know that I would bother with much in the way of effects; just running this electric umbrella motif through the design of a lighter and more appealing space would be cool. They won't do that, but it would be nice!
