Hey Disney Vacationers! If you’ve ever taken a spin on EPCOT’s Test Track, you know it’s one of those must-do experiences that combines speed, innovation, and a whole lot of fun. Well, buckle up because Disney has announced some more details about the reimagining of the new Test Track queue, set to reopen in 2025. And trust me, this is something you’re going to want to keep on your radar—especially if you’re a fan of cutting-edge tech, immersive storytelling, and, of course, fast cars.
What’s New with the Test Track Queue?
More details around the reimagining of Test Track were announced at the Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase during D23:. This isn’t just a fresh coat of paint or a slight tweak here and there—this is a full-on reimagining that aims to take the attraction to the next level. So, what’s in store for us in the new Test Track queue?
According to Walt Disney Imagineering, they’re teaming up with Chevrolet to create a queue experience that celebrates the past, present, and future of innovation. The queue will feature six distinct exhibits, each dedicated to the vehicles—and the brilliant minds behind them—that have pushed boundaries and paved the way for the future. Imagine walking through a space that’s part museum, part interactive gallery, with each room immersing you in the stories and technologies that have shaped our journey in motion.
This is more than just standing in line; it’s an experience in itself, designed to get you hyped before you even step foot in the ride vehicle.
What’s the Ride Experience Going to Be Like?
Let’s talk about the ride itself because, let’s be honest, that’s what we’re all here for. The reimagined Test Track will feature new show scenes that showcase technological advancements and how our lifestyles and relationships to mobility connect everyone. Sounds pretty futuristic, right?
Picture this: you’ll be taken on a joy ride through scenes that focus on onboard technology, customization, and personalization. We’re talking about cars that feel like they were designed just for you, with every little detail tailored to your preferences. Following that, you’ll embark on a scenic outdoor route, but not just any route—this one’s all about reminding us of the simple joys of driving, taking in the world around us, and spending quality time with the people we care about.
Now, here’s where things get really interesting. In a previous article, I dove into some permits that hinted at a potential new projection dome being part of the reimagined Test Track experience. The question on everyone’s mind: where will this dome go? Could Disney be planning to enclose the outdoor portion of the ride and use dome technology to recreate outdoor environments?
It sounds radical, but think about it. Florida’s weather is famously unpredictable, with summer rains and lightning that can close down Test Track for hours. Enclosing the track would not only solve this problem but also allow the attraction to run continuously, rain or shine. This is all just speculation for now, but it’s exciting to think about the possibilities.
Final Thoughts
The reimagined Test Track at EPCOT is shaping up to be a must-see attraction when it reopens in 2025. With a queue that’s as much an experience as the ride itself and new show scenes that promise to take us on a journey through the future of mobility, this is one Disney attraction you won’t want to miss.
Keep your eyes peeled for more updates as we get closer to the grand reopening, and start planning your trip to EPCOT now—because if there’s one thing we know, it’s that Disney knows how to deliver on the hype. And who knows? Maybe we’ll all be cruising through a high-tech dome that makes us feel like we’re driving through the great outdoors, no matter what the weather’s like outside.
