Let’s get this out of the way first: yes, Test Track is reopening on July 22. But it’s not just “back.” This isn’t a quick refresh or a coat of paint. EPCOT’s iconic thrill ride has been reimagined with new ideas, old inspirations, and a ton of fan speculation.
The Wait Is Almost Over
Disney’s been slowly dropping hints for months, from new vehicle designs to updated sponsorships. The return of General Motors signals a shift from the sleek car-design theme toward something more whimsical—like the original World of Motion, which Test Track replaced.
The ride is expected to focus more on the evolution of transportation, with updated show scenes and a new narrative to match. And yes, the famous outdoor speed loop is still there.
A Rocky Welcome
While we wait for the doors to reopen, the updated signage has already caused a stir. The bold new logo is now framed by a bed of tan-colored rocks—something that wasn’t shown in the concept art.

The reaction online? Mixed, to say the least. Some fans think it’s a cool, modern look. Others say it looks like something from a theme park graveyard. It’s definitely a conversation starter.
Queue and Entry Upgrades Signal a Tech-Forward Return
Disney has also installed new stanchions and MagicBand+ tap points at the ride’s entry area. If that doesn’t scream “ready to roll,” nothing does. Guests can expect both Lightning Lane and standby options when the attraction opens.
July 22 Will Be a Big Day
Whether you’re an EPCOT regular or planning your first visit in years, Test Track returning means another big draw is back on the board. Pair that with Cosmic Rewind, and the park just got a whole lot more thrilling.
