Quite a few changes are coming to Disney World in the future!
Spaceship Earth
We’ve discussed the new Villains Land at Magic Kingdom, the Monsters, Inc. Land at Hollywood Studios, and the Tropical Americas at Animal Kingdom, but what about EPCOT? The park just wrapped up its massive transformation, but there are still some projects to be completed…including the major update for Test Track.
Test Track is currently closed for construction as the ride gets a “reimagining.” The overhaul will be inspired by Test Track’s predecessor, World of Motion, and will still be sponsored by Chevrolet. We’ve already seen some concept art for the new look.

We know that the ride will reopen in 2025, thanks to an announcement from D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event. Also during that showcase, Disney confirmed the queue will feature six distinct exhibits, and within each room, celebrate the vehicles as well as the people behind the vehicles who usher in that next chapter in our collective journey.

But now, we’ve got another update! A permit was just filed with Orange County, FL for a Notice of Commencement on Test Track. This permit is specifically listed for Icarus Exhibits, Inc. to “install set elements” at the address belonging to the ride. Icarus Exhibits has previously worked with Disney World on a number of projects.

This is not the first of the permits that we’ve seen filed for this ride and show building, but it IS a pretty significant step in the process. Disney seems to be pushing through construction on this ride fairly quickly, considering it just closed for the refurbishment back in June.

We’ll continue to keep an eye on construction progress in the coming months and let you know if anything changes — stay tuned to DFB for the latest!
