The reimagined Test Track presented by Chevrolet will open at EPCOT in 2025.

Announced during Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, Walt Disney Imagineering is collaborating with Chevrolet to push innovation forward and celebrate humanity’s enduring drive on the thrilling road to a brighter tomorrow.

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.

Pretty clear it’s unlikely to happen at this point. While disappointing, now that I’ve experienced 3.0, I’d argue they’re the least important to this version. Does anyone know if they leave the building open all night or is there a secondary door that is closed?

I would subscribe to the Josh Eats web series

The new CEO is busy recording videos of himself enjoying new food products that have arrived in the parks.

Any chance they’re gonna fix the doors? Come on Josh, that should be first order of business. Then the Yeti!!

I've only seen them use the 4th loading station once or twice. I believe it's because the ride is running with less vehicles on the track than it's supposed to.

LIDAR is definitely my favorite scene on the ride, just so visually appealing and impressive!

Pizza MoonFeb 27, 2026

I find it funny because while I love the ride, LIDAR isn’t necessary for self-driving, cameras are sufficient, it’s just one of an array of options to approach the problem, so it’s not like a 1:1. But what a killer scene!

I found the Test Track 2.0 queue to be god tier music. But the new theme is very good too and I feel it works better on-ride overall. Certainly better than the gimicky “compete with your designs.”

The new version is so good ya’ll.

You are testing out various features for a hypothetical "road of the future". LIDAR automated driving with collision avoidance, a powered roadway to fuel an electric vehicle, at-home customization, etc. The various tests are leading up to what we currently have on market (LIDAR), what we hypothetically have the tech for but not the implementation yet (powered roads), and the distant future that is somewhat impractical but a nice what if with the at home switch outs. Then you test out many of these features on a simulated road before blasting off to the future. I will concede that I'm not in love with the sharp change in the inside to outside but I will point that if you use a little more subtext, this does make sense.

TT 1.0 felt consistent and fun. TT 3.0 has some pretty sets of garages and a womp womp finale as you race from the city of tomorrow to an ugly parking lot. Which wasn't a tonal shift originally, as the whole thing was a testing facility. I'll take interesting, consistent, and purposeful over lifeless, aimless, and patchworked every time, regardless of how pretty those sheds look. What tests are on this Test Track? it's a Franken-Attraction where they changed what the parts are, but haven't changed them into anything that tells a new story. Why do we learn about redesigning our car and why is that between the sensor technology display and the discount version of RSR's opening shoved in the middle of the ride? I can tell you why the ABS Break test went into the climate test and then escalated into the racheting up with the handling test which led to a jump scare near miss and reminded us of the final test which has been built up since the start. If they wanted to ditch the reasons and storytelling of the original, they should have taken the time and effort to change the ride's anatomy. Modern Disney cleary thinks that jangling keys is easier and just as effective as actually writing something with structure and form

They'd need to be dressed up as sloths, though...
