Progress Rolls On at Test Track: Awning Work Continues as 3.0 Version Nears Completion
Things are revving up at EPCOT—literally—as construction continues on the reimagining of Test Track, and this week we spotted some new progress that’s sure to excite fans eager to ride the next generation of this iconic attraction.
During a recent visit to the park, we got a closer look at the freshly installed awning that now sits over the ride’s entrance area. While the structure itself has been in place for a few weeks, crews are still hard at work adding the finishing touches. Work is currently focused on completing the soffit and lighting package underneath the canopy, which will give the area a sleek, futuristic glow once it’s finished.

We also spotted a key sign (pun absolutely intended) that things are moving in the right direction: queue signage is now in place! New signs for Lightning Lane, Standby, and Single Rider are now visible under the awning, giving us a sneak peek at the ride’s updated entry layout and operations flow.
A Reimagined Ride for the Road Ahead
As we inch closer to the debut of Test Track 3.0, Disney continues to tease the attraction’s transformation. Announced at D23 during the Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase, this next chapter in the Test Track story is being crafted by Walt Disney Imagineering in collaboration with Chevrolet. The goal? To celebrate humanity’s drive toward a brighter tomorrow—a theme that ties the attraction back to its original EPCOT spirit.
Guests can expect a queue filled with six unique exhibits, spotlighting not only vehicles but also the innovators and designers who are shaping the future of motion. Each room is set to explore how people and technology come together to move us forward—quite literally.
Once on board, the revamped ride will take guests on a journey through cutting-edge show scenes that dive into onboard technology, customization, and personalization—hallmarks of today’s evolving automotive world. And in true EPCOT fashion, the experience won’t just focus on the tech; it’ll also celebrate the joy of driving with a scenic outdoor finale that reminds us of why we fell in love with the open road in the first place.

When Will Test Track Reopen?
Disney has yet to announce a specific reopening date, but Test Track 3.0 is expected to open later this summer. While work continues on both the exterior and interior of the attraction, it’s clear that things are speeding along and the finish line is coming into view.
So buckle up, EPCOT fans—the next generation of Test Track is almost here, and it’s looking like a thrilling ride down memory lane with a high-tech twist for the future.
