Some wishful thinker edited the Wikipedia page!This must be a writing error, it lists John Williams for music in the Wikipedia page for Test Track.
There’s been nothing about music in the press releases. Unless it’s true, someone’s wrote this by mistake.

I'm a bit surprised they haven't provided more info yet, but probably waiting til D23.
I could see them doing a minor refresh, changing the queue setup (guessing the car design stuff will be gone), replacing the "TRON" style set pieces, but unless they need to upgrade the ride system, it might not take too long.

I removed it, let's see if someone puts it back.

Plot twist there is no future. Eat at Arby’s.
MK is the cheery park. Epcot is the nihilistic one.

Best case scenario, it gets moved to the imagination flex space and they trade the umbrellas.
Which is another way of saying it'll never get there.

Anyone else getting a "forward" vibe from the logo, the hexes becoming arrows as they move forward
My sister and I loved it - as kids and as adults. Though as adults it became our mission to create the ugliest/weirdest car possible (but always pink with either the sparkles or butterflies).
Wow. You unlocked a memory for me. I forgot we tried to make a monstrosity our first time.
I hope they didn't take all cars as research considering what some of us did. They'd wind up with something like The Homer.
The food they serve
That guy who got the Animal Kingdom unicorn statue should add it to his collection.
WallCOT is dead.
Long live the WallCOT.
I went to check, worried it may have been a hasty move. Saw it was an IP without sources and you'd given the reason for removal. That's some good Wikipedia'ing.

Probably not a real date, but perfect timing for Labor day and Destination D23.
Or maybe bring Destination D23 forward to mid August like D23 this year, and preview TT3 for the attendees..
Now, I might be able to make an August Destination D23 next year. So.... I fully approve that plan. Two thumbs up. Excellent work. Go for it.
Edit to say: in my excitement at the perfection of the scenario I misread the year - apologies. However, I maintain that this would be the perfect plan!

My kids will be very disappointed if the design element doesn’t return. They really liked making different designs and competing against each other for the higher score.

I find this fascinating b/c no one knows what the hell this revamp will turn out to be. WOM and TT could not be more dissimilar - it's like saying they are rebuilding Space Mountain with inspiration from It's a Small World.
I predict less is happening here than we think (which will disappoint WOM fans like me). Pure speculation, but I would guess the ride maintains the same track, maybe slower in parts but similar speed overall while keeping the acceleration portion - and perhaps we get some scenes or screens with a history element...and It's Fun to Be Free will be played or at minimum written on the wall in the queue......but I certainly know nothing and hope we get something unexpected and interesting.

Fascinating. That's where the capability part of the ride is. Last time they opened the building like that was to install the outdoor loop doors.

Oh for sure the same track. I think less about “testing” and more learning about innovations in transportation. I’m hoping they recreate at least one scene from world of motion and recreate the “feel” of a couple more.

Alot more static figures would go a long way if proper AAs aren’t in the cards for this. Looking back at WoM, a handful of those figures were legitimate AAs but there were also a handful of static & animated figures present at the same time. With the faster speed of TT, I could accept static vignettes with some movement & projection mapping, whether its 1:1 scaled down scenes from WoM, brand news ones, or a bit of both
