At EPCOT, an exciting construction project is underway. Crews have been working diligently to install supports for the new Test Track entrance overhang. This significant development is part of the ongoing renovation of the attraction.

Witness the Transformation of Test Track at EPCOT

Test Track Construction Progress

When we last took a look at Test Track construction, the attraction's sign had been removed, leaving the ground directly in front largely exposed. However, since then, significant changes have occurred. The dirt has been cleaned up, and now scaffolding stands in front of the main entrance. This scaffolding will serve as a crucial framework for the installation of the new overhang.

Six new v-shaped support structures have been carefully placed on concrete blocks. These sturdy supports will play a vital role in holding up the new overhang, which will gracefully curve out from below the exterior track. Dark tarps hang over parts of the scaffolding, adding an air of mystery to the ongoing work.

Visible Supports from the Ground

Not only can these supports be seen from a distance, but they also reach several feet above the construction walls. Currently, they are just bare steel, but they will soon be covered in weather-proof sheathing and paneling to ensure their durability and longevity.

These supports are a testament to the meticulous planning and execution of the construction team. They will provide the necessary stability and support for the new overhang, enhancing the overall look and feel of the Test Track entrance.

The New Overhang Concept Art

Despite the initial concept art showing a certain design, it's important to note that Test Track will revert to its General Motors sponsorship instead of Chevrolet. The attraction is scheduled to reopen in late summer 2025 after over a year of construction. The new story will draw inspiration from World of Motion, the ride it replaced in 1999, and celebrate the history of transportation advancements.

The queue will feature six exhibits dedicated to the vehicles and people who have helped push transportation advancements. This addition will provide visitors with a deeper understanding and appreciation of the history behind the attraction.
