It is curious, actually. for those of us with a curiousity around rides and ride systems. 3 days in a row of an early closure. So a problem worth taking the ride down early for, but not serious enough to have it closed for a day? You may blow it off, but others don't.

Could be a portion of the CMs needed for the ride on the late shift are sick.

I think whatever issue is currently going on is something that has been going on for a bit. A couple of times we've visited recently (October and January), Test Track closed early with just a notification in the app during the day.

Oh no I wasn't blowing it off, I thought the problem was there wasn't signs earlier.
Could it be simple maintenance not a ride problem?

We're not as frequent visitors as others on this board. But, we've never actually ridden TT 2.0. It's been down the last 3 times we visited EPCoT. 2x we were in line (even ready to board one time) when it went down. After seeing videos, maybe that's a good thing.

Building issue and contractor availability.. Nothing to see here.

Someone in maintenance really needs to Answer the Call.

 

[Doug Means]

i'm surprised they even need to print a sign. I would think they have electronic signed and displays by now outside of the ride

 

[StarWarsGirl]

If they need to close early, today's the day to do it. Weather is nasty and no one is going to want to ride TT by this evening.

 

[TikibirdLand]

So, it's like any other day... I've not been able to ride TT 2.0 in the trips we've made.

I ride it for the memories of what it used to be, never WoM but it was entertaining to a car guy like me.

Agreed. Miss WoM and TT 1.0. What a beautiful Blazer in the pre show, hah.

I'n too young to remember WOM, but I miss original TT. I go through it and remember what used to be in each section. Just hoping for a TT 3.0 at some point that's not all flashy lights.

Fun fact: I went there a few weeks ago and rode TT 31 times in one day.

2.0 is great and far more fitting of Epcot’s theme. It hides the infrastructure of the building better than 1.0 and doesn’t make the track clearly visible the whole ride. This article breakdown the improvements theme wise well https://www.themeparktourist.com/features/20170205/32467/lost-legends-test-track?page=5
