The graphics fabrication team took center stage in the video, offering viewers a close-up look at the application of the new wraps and graphics to the Test Track ride vehicles.
The updated Test Track vehicles feature a more understated and darker aesthetic, intended to better integrate with the ride environment. The design team opted for a look reminiscent of a research and development prototype. Key changes include new seats, paint, wraps, and both interior and exterior graphics.
Take a look at the video below:
Following a year-long closure, the reimagined Test Track is set to debut at EPCOT in late summer 2025. This update draws inspiration from World of Motion, the original General Motors-sponsored EPCOT attraction that Test Track replaced. World of Motion, which explored the history of transportation, closed in 1996, leading to Test Track’s opening in 1998. Test Track previously underwent a reimagining in 2012, becoming Test Track 2.0.
The upcoming reimagining of Test Track will prioritize the ride experience itself, shifting focus away from the pre- and post-show elements. Walt Disney Imagineering aims to infuse the updated attraction with the “spirit of optimism” that characterized World of Motion.
Are you looking forward to Test Track reopening?
