Crews have removed the canopy fabric from the Test Track awning structure at EPCOT. The attraction is currently closed for a major reimagining.

Test Track Construction

The giant blue “T”-shaped pieces are gone from the awning’s scaffolding structure. The canopy over the top of the structure, which provided shade, is also gone. Back in 2022, the canopy was damaged by Hurricane Ian and removed, only replaced in March 2023.

Concept art of the attraction’s updated exterior indicates the awning supports will also be removed. A new more permanent overhang will be installed, jutting out near the track that circles the building.

For comparison, above is a photo from when Test Track first closed in June. The blue decorations on the front of the awning resembled two “T”s for “Test Track,” with symbols from the attraction incorporated into the blue designs. The Chevrolet logo was at the bottom of one of the decorations.

Test Track 3.0 will have a more streamlined exterior, including a new sign. It will still be presented by Chevrolet, which has sponsored the ride since 2012. When Test Track opened in 1998, it was sponsored by General Motors.

When Chevrolet took over, the ride was reimagined into “Test Track 2.0.” Test Track 3.0, announced last year, will be inspired by World of Motion, the original EPCOT attraction that Test Track replaced. More details have yet to be shared.
