EPCOT has been transforming for years now, and although the official transformation is basically complete, there are still changes to come!
With this era of EPCOT, we’ve seen new attractions like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind (which is a big hit), Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, and Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana. Now, an iconic ride is about to close for changes (again) and we’ve got the details!
Test Track is being rethemed and it officially closes in one week on June 17th, 2024. These changes were originally announced in 2023 and a permit was filed earlier this year, but the time is almost here for them to become reality!
Test Track has seen some changes in the past, so it’s not this attraction’s first rodeo. In 2012, a 2.0 version of the ride debuted after an eight-month renovation. The track stayed the same, but the storyline had some differences. Disney hasn’t revealed much about the changes, but we expect something similar — same track, different story.
Looking at the concept art of the ride vehicles, fans are speculating that it may have a nod to World of Motion, the attraction that used to be where Test Track is now.
In the other concept art photo, the outside looks pretty different. We’re anxious to see this come to fruition. There is currently no reopening date or timeline for this project, but we’ll let you know as soon as Disney announces it. We’re expecting it to be a pretty lengthy refurbishment!

Disney has proven time and again that these concepts arts are basically false advertisement at this point. Let’s look at the concept art for communicore hall, or Tianas Bayou Adventure vs the real thing. It’s sad to say that mismanagement of the parks has become increasingly apparent with their cheap rethemes, mind numbingly slow construction, and cost cutting that lowers the over all quality of the experience at the parks. Having griwn up in Orlando and having an annual pass since childhood, I have never once seen the parks in such an identity crisis at the mercy of a CEO who cares about nothing but his bottom dollar.
Great… Close a major ride at a park that doesn’t have that many bigger rides….
