EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

[SoFloMagic]

How will this not be open in July? They're testing the vehicles, they're testing the queue, there's only a little bit left on the exterior...c'mon, I want to ride this when I'm there!

Remember it took them three years to build the shaded seating area at woodys lunchbox

Via the unnamed site, the sign has been installed! Looks pretty different from the concept art. I do feel like now that the sign is in, we could be seeing some sort of announcement pretty soon

Im confused whats going on with the pavement. It looks scored to be removed, but the work seems done.

would it be done to cover it later?

I get the impression they're trying to speed up the timetable to completion. Though I'm sure they'd like it open 4th of July weekend I suspect that's impossible. We still thinking mid-August?

Judging by the kind of work theyre doing and that they've been running cars for a month, I feel like mid to late July is possible. That being said, the over is always a safe bet with WDI.

Bright red on the right ( in front of the scissor lifts) looks new and done. In front of the new sign looks cut for replacement. Not sure if we'll see walls push forward when they do that part to allow the whole area to be redone.

Could be that the job will be finished by some general upgrades budget, just odd. Usually the Fancy New Thing pays.

Sign almost looks like a Chevy logo, right? Maybe a bit boxier?

Looks kinda like it but honestly I doubt it because they dropped the Chevy sponsorship this year in favor of GM

I thought it was announced it was going back to GM branding officially

There's a Disney media event tomorrow, I feel like we're almost certainly going to get an opening date there at this rate.

Yes, which Also goes back to the former sponsor of the pavilion during it WoM years..

Chevy is GM isn't it?

That's what I was saying

Chevy is GM isn't it?

Yes, it's part if it...

 

[TheCoasterNerd]

Chevy is GM isn't it?

Yes, but it's a branch of GM. Under 2.0 it was branded as "Presented by Chevrolet" versus this one which is confirmed to be branded as "Presented by General Motors" like WoM and TT1

I hardly wait for the new Test Track 3.0 at Epcot! I hope to reopening November 2025!

It does look like they are rapidly getting the entrance courtyard ready for guest access.

Wow is that an outdated graphic. Opel and Vauxhall haven’t been part of GM for nearly a decade. Holden has also been shut down.
