The latest construction images reveal significant work on the entrance area, with crews focusing on the installation of the steel structure that will form the base of the new curved entry. This updated design will provide a more streamlined and visually striking approach to the attraction, complementing the futuristic themes within.









The new entrance will serve as the gateway to a fully reimagined Test Track experience, set to open in late summer 2025. The attraction will celebrate over 100 years of mobility innovation, incorporating new queue exhibits and ride scenes that explore customization, onboard technology, and sustainable advancements.

I'm glad that new signage is coming to the new Test Track 3.0! Test Track Presented by GM! I can't hardly wait!

Just put some blue roof tarps on the top and call it good for another decade.

You are driving up a winding mountain road stuck behind an 18 wheeler. The highway finally straightens out and you pass the truck and floor it to let out your frustration!

Gosh that was an annoying show. Turned into a preview-fest by the end. But I'm not a huge fan of the original World of Color either. Haven't seen the other variations.

I’m surprised Disney hasn’t utilized more of their go-to celeb friends for voice overs and narration in the parks. Like is it only a matter of time before we get Neil Patrick Harris, John Stamos, or even Edward James Olmos in the park?

It wouldn’t surprise me. They had far less of a purpose in 2.0 than they did in 1.0, it wouldn’t take much to justify ripping them out for 3.0

If so, let’s hope they are clever with climate control. I feel like much of the ride is hot in the summer. It’s not as much a problem at unload because of the steep decline after the high-speed loops. Separately, I’d love a John Michael Higgins cameo on 3.0!

This isn't confirmed or anything but my dark horse speculation is they might get rid of the barricade walls on the power test. As I'm sure you know they were very hit-or-miss in 2.0's later years and internally there seems to be a strong directive on keeping the ride envelope of attractions completely unobstructed.
