Test Track Canopy Completely Removed in EPCOT

During a recent visit to EPCOT, it was impossible to miss the significant changes underway at Test Track. The ride, which has been closed since mid-June for a major overhaul, is in the midst of a transformation that won’t be completed until 2025. Among the most noticeable changes is the complete removal of the iconic covered canopy, including its large support columns.

The overhaul was officially announced during the Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, where Walt Disney Imagineering shared exciting details about the future of Test Track. In collaboration with Chevrolet, Disney is pushing innovation forward while celebrating humanity’s enduring drive—both literally and figuratively—on the road to a brighter tomorrow. However, before this transformation is fully realized, Test Track will also pay homage to today’s innovations and the past, present, and future of automotive design.

Guests can expect the queue to be transformed into a celebration of automotive achievements, with six distinct exhibits highlighting the vehicles and the people behind them who have continually pushed the boundaries of what’s possible. Each room will provide a deeper understanding of how these advancements have shaped our lives and continue to drive us toward the future.

Inside the attraction, new show scenes will immerse guests in the latest technological advances, showcasing how customization and onboard technology are enhancing our driving experiences. The journey will also include a scenic outdoor route, reminding us of the simple joys of driving, from taking in the world around us to sharing meaningful moments with friends and family.

Construction on this reimagined Test Track experience is already well underway, and visitors might notice that the exterior design is beginning to echo the original pavilion’s look, offering a nod to the attraction’s history while ushering in a new era of innovation. As work continues, EPCOT enthusiasts will no doubt be eager to see how this beloved attraction evolves over the coming months.
