As work continues on the attraction’s reimagining, the Test Track canopy supports have almost been entirely dismantled at EPCOT.
Test Track Canopy
In our last update, the center portion of the canopy had come down. As of Tuesday, August 27, just this scaffolding tower near the former Single Rider and Lightning Lane entrance remains. The ride originally closed in June 2024 to make way for updates.
From a distance, you can see the remaining scaffolding tower still holding on.
The canopy was damaged by Hurricane Ian in late 2022 and removed. It was later replaced in March 2023 and finally removed for good in early August 2024 as part of the ride’s reimagining.
A crane was parked directly next to the tower when we visited the park.
We spotted crew members in this area, so it’s likely that this support will no doubt come down soon.
Concept art for the ride’s updated entrance does not include the canopy structure. Instead, a new overhang will be installed over the entrance. There will also be an updated attraction sign. It’s scheduled to open in 2025.
Once open, Test Track 3.0 will “celebrate today’s innovation while highlighting the past, present, and future,” with Disney drawing inspiration from World of Motion, which Test Track replaced.
Are you glad to see the old canopy finally become a thing of the past? Share your thoughts with us in the comments.
