Effective September 19, 2002 Test Track will be closed in order to resurface the track. I have not gotten word on the date that the work is scheduled to be completed.

I thought I heard one day for resurfacing, but can't remember where I saw it. Doesn't that seem like a short time to do that?

It is indeed true. Test Track will be down for 1 day to complete track resurfacing. It is set to close on September 19, and re-open on September 20. But dont worry, DreamChasers and the Merchandise store will still be open!!!

From the initial information I got, it is projected to take one day. However, I spoke with 2 of the guys on the crew and they
told me that a lot depends upon how successful they are in the removal of the old track surface. While they expect it all to go well they are also cautious because of the long history Test Track has with multiple "design modifications". Also the new track is a different material and requires new techniques for its installation.

It's HarmonioUS, NOT HarmoniYOU.
I hope it re-opens on the 20th...cause that is the day I am going to Epcot during my stay :)

Someone said after Labor Day that WDW would be a ghost town. Last year (September), we rode it three times in a row with no waiting.

We once went down for Labor Day weekend and stayed for the three days after Labor Day. The place was really dead. We got to do everything without waiting.

With Test Track closed Epcot will be very low attendance probally :(.

And the gremlins hide pretty efficiently so I don't think they will all get wiped out lol.

Dreamchasers is a 5 and a half minute animated promotional advertisement about General Motors products and services. You basically board a "cyber seat" that isnt too cyber, that movies 180 degrees left and right. But you must remain FULLY seated throughout the whole presentation. If a CM sees that you are moving they will IMMEDIATLEY disable that persons seat. There are a lot of children who think that DreamChasers is cool, but most of them cant have the seats move because of their height. They are however more than willing to view the show, even though their seats are not moving.

What part of the track is getting the resurfacing? Will it be just the exterror portion or will this include the entire track inside as well?
