Disney World is going through A LOT of change.

New lands are getting added to Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom, while other new attractions are replacing current ones in all four parks. Disney is busy bringing new ideas to the parks. One new ride coming to Disney World is a brand-new take on the classic EPCOT ride, Test Track. Reimagined Test Track (or Test Track 3.0) is opening in 2025, and we’re breaking down the concept art Disney has shared to find some clues about what we can expect.

Starting with the concept art of the outside of the ride, you may notice some familiarity in the design if you’ve been around long enough to remember World of Motion. World of Motion was the first iteration of what became Test Track (and now the reimagined Test Track). Disney has shared that the new Test Track will take nods from both the previous Test Track and World of Motion and before we even enter the new ride, we can see at least one connection to the original ride.

Disney has already removed the canopy that had covered the entrance to Test Track, giving the building a big update and bringing it back to its World of Motion days. As you can see in the picture below of World of Motion, there are a lot of similarities in the design for the new Test Track.

The biggest difference between the World of Motion building design and the new Test Track building is the track that appears to run around the building. This track is the same one that has been used on the previous Test Track variation, which gives us an indication that Disney is planning to use the same (or VERY similar) ride track (more on that later).

Another thing we noticed about the building’s exterior is the set of signs for the queue. On the far right is the standby line, and in the middle is the Lightning Lane sign. But what caught our attention was the sign on the very left, which appears to say “Single Riders.” This likely means that Disney is still planning to offer a single-rider line at this new ride, just like the old Test Track!

Continuing the idea of the ride track being the same, in the concept art below, we can see a similar track to the one we’re used to AND the same ride vehicles Test Track has been using. The vehicles may get some updates, but according to the art, we can likely expect to be in the same cars.

Another thing that the interior concept art shows is what seems to be a joy ride through a forest with a bright light up ahead. Disney has shared that this new ride will “celebrate today’s innovation while highlighting the past, present, and future.” The bright light off in the distance feels symbolic of the future and some new innovations and technology ideas we may get to see later on in the ride. We’ll just have to wait to see!
