The reimagined Test Track has reached a new milestone, as some of the attraction’s new signage has been installed and most concrete is now finished near the entrance.
Test Track Signs Installed
Test Track in EPCOT is still closed as the attraction is reimagined into what is being called Test Track 3.0. This new version of the ride is set to take inspiration from the classic World of Motion attraction and revert to its original General Motors sponsorship.
Since our last construction update, dirt has been added to the large hole in the middle of the guest walkway. The wood beams that were lining the edge of the circular hole have also been removed, leaving a thinner grey border in their place. The concept art shows that this hole will be the home of a new Test Track sign located on the ground.
However, the most significant change has taken place under the mostly-completed roof structure, where the first new signs have been added for the attraction.
It now appears both of the wait time signs have been added below the roof structure. The new signs are silver with blue geometric shapes on either side of the clear glass.
Neither of the signs are functional yet, and the place where the digital wait time will be displayed currently only has an empty space with some loose cables.
The concept art for the attraction shows that the sign on the right will be used for the regular stand-by wait time. The double sign on the left side will have one clock for the Lightning Lane return time and a second number for the attraction’s single rider line.
Construction crew members were still in the process of working on the roof as we took pictures. Most of the lights appear to be completed, but other features are still being finished.
Like the new roof structure, these wait time signs are very similar to the ones seen in the original concept art Disney posted for the updated Test Track. The shape of the signs is nearly identical to the art, though the art shows the entire sign as blue, while the current signs are only blue on the edges with a clear middle.
Apart from the new signage, the concrete to the right of the attraction building also appears to be complete. Almost the entire guest walkway leading to the Test Track SIMporium gift shop was torn apart when the construction began. The shop closed with the rest of the attraction, though no significant changes have been made to its signage so far.
Walt Disney Imagineering also recently shared a short video with a first look at the reimagined Test Track ride vehicles, which have been seen testing on the attraction for a few weeks.
Test Track is set to reopen sometime in the summer of 2025, though no exact date has been announced yet.
