More Paneling Removed as Test Track is Reimagined in EPCOT

Crews continue to demolish the queue of Test Track as part of a reimagining of the EPCOT attraction.

Construction site with steel framework and a blue overhang structure, featuring "Test Track Chevrolet" signage. A white vehicle is parked nearby, surrounded by construction materials and tools.

There are fewer dumpsters in front of the attraction than there were during our last construction update. But one dumpster is right in front of the entrance doors, which are open for crews to pull debris outside and discard it. We also noticed safety cones up around one of the supports of the canopy, which will be removed according to concept art.

A large, modern building with a curved façade and metal framework stands amid lush greenery. The sky is filled with scattered clouds. A covered pedestrian area extends from the building's entrance.

More paneling has been removed from the underside of the outdoor track. Silver paneling is now missing from most of the track that’s visible from the Monorail.

Compare the photos to the below concept art which features a new entrance structure.

Test Track opened in 1998, replacing the opening-day EPCOT attraction World of Motion. Test Track was reimagined in 2012. Disney announced the new reimagining last year, stating it will take inspiration from World of Motion.

The first piece of concept art shared showed the Test Track ride vehicles with a sleeker look. The scene depicted appears to be the Responsiveness Test, which currently features a series of turns with cutouts of scenery. The art seems to imply an upgrade to the set as well, but nothing is confirmed at this time.

Walt Disney Imagineering recently filed a permit for the installation of set elements at Test Track.
