Test Track Reimagining Speeds Toward the Finish Line
If you’ve been cruising by World Discovery at EPCOT lately, you’ve probably noticed that the future of Test Track is beginning to take shape—literally. Disney’s high-speed reimagining of the fan-favorite attraction is charging ahead, but a newly updated official description has cast some doubt on whether it’ll hit its originally projected late summer reopening date.
Previously slated for a “late summer 2025” return, Disney’s website now simply states that Test Track Presented by Chevrolet is being reimagined and will reopen in 2025. The revised language removes any specific seasonal target, which might indicate the attraction is pacing a bit slower than expected. But even if we’re not racing to the finish line just yet, things are certainly accelerating on-site.

Let’s take a lap around what’s new:
- New Marquee on Display: The all-new Test Track sign is now fully visible at the entrance. Featuring an updated illuminated logo that blends sleek lines with futuristic flair, the sign proudly displays its continued partnership with General Motors.
- Entrance Overhaul: Fresh signage for the Standby and Lightning Lane entrances has been installed, echoing the design of the new marquee and adding visual cohesion to the refreshed aesthetic.
- Canopy Construction Ongoing: Overhead, crews are actively working on a new canopy structure that replaces the old scaffolding-style version removed earlier this year. While not yet complete, the new framework suggests a more streamlined look is on the way.
- Simporium Gets a Makeover: The nearby Simporium gift shop has officially been renamed the Test Track Gear Shop, with new signage and design elements that match the ride’s new branding.
- Ride Testing in Progress: One of the biggest signs of progress? The familiar sound of Test Track vehicles zipping along the outdoor track has returned. The ride system appears to be cycling frequently and at near full speed—likely part of advanced testing and operational tuning.

While we still don’t have a firm reopening date, these updates suggest that previews and soft openings could be on the horizon (even if they’re not as close as we once hoped). For now, Disney’s message is clear: “Please check back later for updates.”
Looks like we’ll have to buckle up and stay tuned—because the next evolution of Test Track is revving its engine, just not quite ready to hit the gas.
