No dates yet but an April Closing and Late Nov/Early Dec reopening looks to be the rumoured dates! Something like the SM refurb a few years back

Any firm date on the closing next month? I'll be there from the 12th-17th and I think my Disney Newbie friends would love Test Track

Well hopefully then or later. I arrive on the 12th and will hop over to Epcot to ride it before it shuts down. Wonder if line ups will be super long and Fastpasses gone even faster if people are expecting it to shut down. I guess I'm hoping most people have no idea that it will be closing so they don't rush to ride it

Those dates have not been confirmed, and there are rumors that the refurb may have a delayed start due to issues in figuring out what exactly they want to do (this rumor is supported by the fact that they STILL don't have an official closing date).

Oh I really hope so! We arrive on 1st May and two of our favourite rides are BTMR and Test Track. With BTMR being closed already it'll be disappointing if Test Track is closed too.

People assume that if it hasn't been mentioned in a while, it would be canceled?! I doubt it at this point. So much money has already been spent on this...
How can it be fair to guests to not officially advertise the closing of test track on the official parks website? I know attractions must be refurb-ed often but I have usually known months in advance that I would not be able to ride an attraction (for example SM) during my previous visits. This seems different and I have my doubts especially for them to close it during the peak summer season when Epcot has little else to offer in the way of other attractions...:shrug:

A year or two ago Living With the Land closed for a very lengthy refurb the day before my trip with no announcement at all.

We love it too. It was pretty surprising. I don't know if they every officially announced the closing. It was weird.
That sucks! I was really hoping that they wouldn't close test track because I look forward to it at Epcot..looks like we'll just have to be surprised
The only thing I would say is that Living with the Land is great but it just doesn't handle the same guest capacity in terms of the whole summer closure thing. Soarin already has nearly a two hour wait sometimes and I can't believe Disney hates Epcot that much that they want to make it even worse for the summer by closing a major attraction. Lame...
