Crews installed the framework for Test Track’s new entrance awning at EPCOT.

Test Track Construction

Construction site with cranes and vehicles working outside a large building under cloudy skies, surrounded by trees and orange safety cones. Several workers are visible on the ground.

Vertical supports for the new structure went up earlier this week. Now a horizontal framework connects most of the supports, creating a rectangular awning over the entrance area.

People gather near a red sports car in front of a large building under construction, marked by a sign that proudly displays "Test Track.

There is scaffolding behind the awning, directly in front of the entrance doors, and tarps protect the exterior of the outdoor track. Several crew members were on-site Friday morning when we rode the Monorail past.

Rendering of the Test Track attraction at Disney's Epcot, with families and visitors entering the building. The attraction, which features Chevrolet signage and a futuristic design, seamlessly integrates state-of-the-art technology, ensuring it meets all required permits for safety and innovation.

This concept art shows what the new overhang will look like. The attraction is also getting a new sign, with the old one completely removed last month. Although the concept art says “Presented by Chevrolet,” the ride will revert to their General Motors sponsorship.

Crews used a construction vehicle to place more beams in the awning’s structure.

A large, modern glass building glistens against a partly cloudy sky, with trees gracefully framing the view. Nearby, a state-of-the-art test track complements the scene, blending innovation seamlessly with nature's elegance.

Scaffolding has come down from the Test Track SIMporium entrance. A long pink tarp hangs from the exterior track over the entrance doors.

The reimagined attraction will open in late summer 2025 after over a year of construction. Test Track 3.0 will draw inspiration from World of Motion, the ride Test Track replaced in 1999. It will celebrate the history of transportation advancements. The queue will feature exhibits dedicated to the vehicles and people who helped push those advancements.
