INTRODUCTION

After nearly twelve months of renovations, Test Track 3.0 reopened at EPCOT in July 2025, welcoming guests eager to take a spin on their favorite ride. Although the high-speed track and its thrilling stops, pedal-to-the-metal takeoffs, and S-curves remain the same, the storyline for this themed attraction has changed. The post-show area features the latest Chevrolet vehicles in an all-new, state-of-the-art showroom, as well as high-tech games for both kids and adults.

Test Track is located in EPCOT’s World Discovery at the front of the park. Turn left by Connections Cafe & the Creation Shop, toward that walkway, which leads straight to Mission: SPACE. Test Track is the other large building you will see to the right of that attraction.

ATTRACTION

Upon entering the attraction, repeat visitors will notice the design of the new attraction took inspiration from the original ride, World of Motion. Disney also revealed ahead of time that we’d hear an all-new musical score, and we’d see new scenes that highlight the technology that is “making our cars smarter and our lives more fun.”

The queue now has a more cohesive theme, too — instead of just “Chevrolet,” the theme now allows you to look into the history of moving vehicles as an homage to the original World of Motion attraction. It goes from the 1900s to the present day as a look back in time while always dreaming of what the future holds!

One of the biggest changes is that there’s no more “design your own car station!” This change reduces some of the ride’s interactivity, but for others, it’s a relief. Regardless, now you just move through the queue and head straight to the loading dock.

One of the other new changes is a new soundtrack — the song “It’s Fun to Be Free” plays as an instrumental track after the narrator says the words “It’s Fun to Be Free,” but the original lyrics are not performed/heard. There’s also a new ride smell that is similar to Spaceship Earth and Soarin’— it’s a very pleasant pine smell, so consider us big fans!

One of the six new scenes depicts how cars can utilize enhanced cameras and sensors to “see” the world around them, and Disney brought that to life with over 29,000 points of light in a single scene. Trust us when we say that this was breathtaking! We also loved all the greenery that’s been added — it makes it feel like you’re really driving outside at night…as long as you don’t look at the roof above your head.

In the large dome scene, you may hear a mention of the ”horizon,” which pays homage to the former EPCOT attraction. A Cast Member who helped produce the ride, and she did confirm it wasn’t an intentional Easter Egg from Imagineering, but maybe the scriptwriters meant it to be an homage!

DINING

There is no place to eat a meal in the immediate vicinity of the Test Track.

If a snack will hit the spot, look for the cart between Mouse Gear and Test Track. It sells pretzels with cheese sauce, chips, cookies and bottled drinks.

WDW At Large Notes — The new Test Track cars are almost identical to the old ones, so we expect if you fit into the old cars, you will fit fine in the new ones. Test Track seat belts are just like a car’s front seat belts, so legroom is the only real problem for people of size. Be sure to get a front seat; you will have much more legroom.

One visitor relayed this experience: “When I (5’3″ 315 lbs) asked the Cast Member at the end of the queue if I would fit, he told me that there was a mock car I could sit in. He called another Cast Member, who escorted me to a private area. The car wasn’t an exact copy of the cars in use, but was close. I found that I did not fit enough to be comfortable. The Cast Member showed me the side exit and I went on about my day. It was handled with care and privacy, and I was never made to feel embarrassed.”

Rider Switch (aka Child Swap) is possible on Test Track.

A single rider line is available; if you are willing to split up your party, you can shorten your wait.

There is a Ride Photo, but no video is available.

The nearest restrooms are located across from Test Track, outside Creations Shop.

KIDS AND CHARACTERS

 Not only is Rider Switch available on Test Track, but it is also possible in Test Track’s single line. Cast Members will direct guests using this feature to follow the yellow arrows to a special holding area near the ride exit. After the “swap”, it is easy enough to follow the arrows back to the main queue.

SHOPPING
