A large section of the canopy support structure has now been removed from the front of Test Track at EPCOT.

The canopy is being permanently removed for this third generation of Test Track to provide a more streamlined look to the pavilion.


On the inside, crews continue to load in materials for the new set scenes for the update ride experience.

Disney says Test Track will celebrate today's innovation while highlighting the past, present, and future.

The queue will feature six distinct exhibits, and within each room celebrate the vehicles – and people behind the vehicles – that push the envelope and help get people to our next chapter in our motion journey. 

New show scenes will be added showcasing technological advances and how our lifestyles and relationships to mobility connect everyone. Enjoy a joy ride through scenes focusing on onboard technology, customization and personalization. Followed by a trip through a scenic outdoor route reminding us all of the joys of driving, taking in the world around us and spending quality time with friends and family.

You can see the slots for lights in the canopy. Looks they've kept the same canopy design from the concept art so far...

200 Epcot Center Dr is the address for the park, Test Track specifically is 1440 Avenue of the Stars.

The nice thing about reopening this around 8/1 is that if there are any technical difficulties, they can just claim there is inclement weather in the area and we will be none the wiser!

Saw this today on my car’s chargepoint app. IONNA is partly owned by GM. Looks like they may be adding some EV charging at Test Track. Maybe a demo?

I can't wait for the new Test Track 3.0 at Epcot because it's my favorite ride at Epcot!
