EPCOT’s Test Track has been closed for a massive refurbishment since the middle of 2024, with only an ambiguous “2025” noted as its reopening date. That is, until Disney confirmed a new reopening timeline for the iconic thrill ride today, December 3rd. However, EPCOT aficionados may not be happy to read it.

Disney has now confirmed that Test Track will reopen in “Late Summer 2025”, meaning that the large people-eating attraction will still be unavailable for a while to EPCOT guests.

Once Test Track does reopen, it will mark the third version of the well-regarded E-Ticket. The first version of the ride, focusing on a “realistic” automobile proving ground debuted to much fanfare – – and many delays – – in 1998, before closing for refurbishment in 2012. The second iteration of the ride, often referred to colloquially as Test Track 2.0, opened at the tail end of that same year with a tweaked storyline that revolved around guests “designing” and testing their own SimCar.

While not much is confirmed about the upcoming Test Track 3.0, Disney has said the next iteration of the attraction will feature a “new storyline” built around  “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.”

In addition, the company has teased that the new version of the attraction will feature easter eggs and references to World of Motion, the original opening day EPCOT attraction that once stood where Test Track does now.

As officially confirmed by Disney’s latest construction timeline, the newly refurbished Test Track is scheduled to open at EPCOT in late summer 2025. Though you may want to keep an eye out, as Disney also says that “you might even see cars returning to the track (for testing…at Test Track…nice) with their new look early in the year!” Stay tuned to DFB for more on the ride’s return.
