First Metallic Paneling Installed on New Test Track Overhang

Crews are adding a layer of concrete to the front of the new Test Track overhang at EPCOT.

Crew members on scaffolding were preparing concrete and then spreading it across the front edge of the awning on Tuesday morning. This covers the layer of silver paneling installed a week ago, which itself covered weatherproof tar paper.

The very front of the awning is set back slightly from the rest. The crew had almost completely covered this front section in concrete and were finishing on the left.

We could also see crew members working on the underside of the overhang. The underside on the front right is black.

Meanwhile, crews have installed the first of final paneling on the back right. These metallic silver panels match the show building’s exterior and look straight out of the concept art, below.
