The steel framework mirrors the concept art, revealing a sleek, modern aesthetic that aligns with the attraction's updated focus on celebrating the evolution of mobility. The new look also fits EPCOT's updated look throughout the former Future World areas.

They got that steel up faster than they could even move a pallet across world celebration

A giant sea serpent would definitely stick out

Maybe it will be a cameo like playing Universe of energy briefly before the big bang on Guardians.

One of my personal favorite attraction easter eggs.

Here's how you work the sea serpent into Test Track 3.0 - at one point, have the track go by a lake, and the sea serpent pops out of it. There. He was backstage somewhere in California Adventure for a while, but I don't know where he is now.

I was today years old when I realized the sea serpent had an actual name. I had no idea. 😆

Would be pretty great if they repurposed the original figure, although I can’t remember whether he was thrown in a scrapyard or saved

First time I'm really noticing how pretty the building looks without the old canopy in front of it.

Yeah i could def see it being intrsumental, though i hope we get the lyrics. I assume that what most people want when they say “It’s fun to be free in test track 3.0” Disney as of late has a funny habit in their new rides of doing everything to try and please fans EXCEPT for the one thing they actually want and ask for (Facilier on the lift hill, No blood on the saddle return, putting Dinos in the Indy ride, closing muppetvision , figment’s…….everything over the past few years).

I don't think the entire ride is going to have it playing like it did in WoM but I could see it on ride, even if just an instrumental. There were already plenty of nods to it in TT 2.0, including it playing as a jingle at the MagicBand touchpoints. I'm fairly confident it'll be back in some form based on nothing but a gut feeling.
