Disney4me Posted 19 hours ago Report Share Posted 19 hours ago It’s hard to believe we’ve lived without Test Track in EPCOT for almost a whole year, but here we are. Test Track Test Track closed back in June 2024 for a massive re-theme and isn’t scheduled to reopen until late summer 2025. So yep, that’s another full-year closure for a major ride (note that Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in Magic Kingdom is also undergoing a massive year-long refurbishment). But why is Disney taking SO long to finish the Test Track re-theme? Well, we have a few ideas. Everything is Getting Gutted and Replaced Disney has not yet really shared a lot of details about the new version of Test Track except that it’s getting new show scenes to showcase technological advances and how our lifestyles and relationships to mobility connect everyone. The queue will also be getting six new exhibits. This suggests that the entirety of the ride interior and queue area has probably been demolished and is being re-done. That takes time. ©Disney The ride vehicles are also changing. Concept art suggests the new vehicles will be taking inspiration from the old World of Motion vehicles (this was the ride that existed in this space before Test Track).

Again, this is going to take a lot of time to completely overhaul the ride. Here’s what the ride’s new exterior will look like. ©Disney That’s a BIG difference from the old entrance into the ride. There’s a new sign, new lighting, new everything. What Will the New Version of Test Track Be Like in Disney World? Of course, we’re just guessing here because Disney has been very tight-lipped about what the new Test Track will look like or how different it will be when it reopens later this year. It does seem that the refurbishment is a huge undertaking, though, and one that will take about a year to complete. Stay tuned to DFB for more.
