They should close it permanently if they aren't going to execute it well. This ride is consistently terrible with an awful pre-show.

So yeah, not nuts busy? That would be Xmas, Thanksgiving, select times in Summer like 4th of July.
Not sure what you're calling "nuts" busy but Disney is pretty crowded in general.
Just typing something into Google and getting a search result you think agrees with your premise isn't always the most rigorous approach, btw. It literally just finds a blurb from one site and it's very ambiguous in defining "busy" as you were as well.
Like anything, too many variables. We haven't even defined what "nuts busy" is but the general "Summer" certainly isn't nuts in comparison to the most crowded days at WDW.

I never said it was the busiest time......
Ya
What does undercover tourist know. Certainly not as much as you.
Those of you that think summer is not busy, I don't know what you are thinking.
Also I never said summer was the busiest.....so I'm not sure why you are restating that I did......

I didn’t say you did. But you implied that it was too busy for them to close a major attraction. I pointed out that there are other busier periods, therefore summer would not be the time they would be scheduling around. You also ignored the rest of my post that was more important and relevant.

Oh well...we didnt get to ride it in August 2022 and won't in July 2024
Looks like we'll have to book another trip

How do define an opinion.....such as busy.
You can't.......
It really did not require a response.
As per Google.......dozens of websites reaffirm my opinion as July August being one of the busiest times at WDW.
This is an odd move....no matter your opinion of busy. As in the past wdw would wait until fall to drop a major ride.
So, back to my original post. Anyone know why or if guardians is dropping the virtual garbage?

Busy is not an opinion. It’s an objective measurement that has very clear and established metrics to measure.
Summer is busy. There are other periods that are objectively busier that would be more crucial to avoid than summer.
Epcot itself has unique crowd patterns even for WDW that make other periods significantly more important and busier than summer.
Earlier you said they would wait until fall and now you’re saying spring
And again, you are ignoring the detail about how long this closure will require. It doesn’t matter when they chose to close Test Track. It would still end up being closed during the summer.

July & August is very busy as for those of us from UK & Europe its main school summer holidays
Spring was a typo.
It is an opinion and a metric.
My busy can be very different from your busy.
Using a metric to justify such opinion.
I'm not ignoring anything...
I'm talking about when a ride first closes.
Not it's duration.
Look at splash as an example. When did it close?

Nobody is saying it’s not busy. It’s just nowhere near the busiest. No metric can be used to change that fact. By your logic they should never close anything because there are busy days all throughout the year and every day is considered busy to someone.
If your opinion can be proven false with objective evidence then it was not an opinion but rather an incorrectly believed fact.

There are many variables that decide when an attraction closes. How long it will be closed and what periods that time will impact is just as if not more important than when it starts.
Splash closed in mid winter at WDW and just before summer at DL.

I think you actually should look up opinion.
An opinion can’t be something that can be proven true or false with objective evidence.
You can’t say anything you want and hide behind saying it’s your opinion.

The salient point is that whole the other parks may be busy (however you subjectively define that) Epoct is at one of its lower utilization periods June and July.
July to Sept is food and wine, I always thought Epcot was rather busy because of this, especially on weekends.

Well, Tom Bricker has a different opinion. But it's only opinions, isn't it?
"One thing we’ve observed time and time again is that when Test Track is down, the other rides in the former Future World have longer waits. This is true even of Journey into Imagination, which goes from being underutilized capacity (e.g. is often a walk-on) to having a measurable wait time without Test Track."
Brayden also says much the same thing and that capacity will be hurt, Disney will want to get this up and running asap, in his latest video.

Sounds like that investment in Billions is really working.

Test Track has gotten rougher and rougher over the years. It was evident they were getting ready for a major renovation because it wasn’t getting any love. When the ride shuts down while on it, you literally feel the heavy breaking of an automobile collision. My family and I will be there in 5 days and I would be fine with it closing then to start the renovation and it is one of my favorite rides.
