Get ready to buckle up again-Test Track 3.0 is officially reopening at EPCOT on July 22, 2025, and it’s more grounded, more scenic, and a whole lot smarter than ever before. Disney has finally revealed fresh details about the redesigned attraction, which promises to blend cutting-edge automotive tech with the thrill of a joyride through the great outdoors.
While earlier versions of the ride were set in a futuristic “concept world,” this updated Test Track is rooted firmly in our world, offering guests a high-tech road trip through a Pacific Northwest-inspired landscape. Expect sweeping digital vistas, overhead tree canopies, and immersive environments filled with Cedar, Spruce, Maple, and Oak-yes, they’re getting that specific about the flora. It’s all part of an effort to make it feel like a real, memory-making drive with your crew.
The ride will feature an all-new musical score and updated scenes showcasing how modern vehicles use sensors, LiDAR, and AI to navigate safely. Think of it as a sneak peek into the future of driving, but with Disney’s storytelling magic along for the ride.
According to Imagineer Nathaniel Gearhart, the goal was to “celebrate the pleasure of driving,” turning the attraction into a narrative about the freedom and fun of the open road-just with a technological twist.
Test Track’s journey started back in 1999, got its first major overhaul in 2012, and now enters its third era in 2025. This isn’t just a cosmetic touch-up-it’s a full reimagining meant to excite returning fans while wowing a new generation.
So whether you’re an OG Test Track lover or just excited to ride something fresh at Walt Disney World this summer, make sure this is on your must-do list. And if you’re wondering what else is happening at the parks, don’t miss the Cars-themed Piston Peak area coming to Magic Kingdom.
