New Test Track concept art
Posted: Saturday September 9, 2023 10:06am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Disney has today announced that Imagineers, along with teams from Chevrolet are reaching back into history for inspiration – from the original World of Motion – and bringing that spirit of optimism to the next iteration of the Test Track attraction at EPCOT.

Details are scarce, but Disney has released a piece of concept art of the new experience. The look of the concept art suggests that Test Track may be moving into the EV era.

The current version of Test Track opened in December 2012, and as part of Chevrolet's sponsorship deal with Disney, the attraction is due for a refresh. No closing date or timeframe for the update has been announced.

That was my favorite piece of music from 2.0.

It won’t move the needle for me or most guests if not there. Would it be nice? Sure? Will it ruin the experience if it’s not there? No.

As a heads up, Disney has said that filming and photography are encouraged during cast previews, so we should see full POVs dropping as early as Friday the 27th.

I'm betting on an instrumental version being part of the queue BGM

I imagine it will get dropped into the script somewhere. Once. In part, at least.

Or simply put on a license plate "Fun 2B Free" or do what they did last time in 2.0 on the straightaway..

I don't think it comes back lyrical. I'd bank on an instrumental or "Fun to be free" said during narration.

It could go similar to the Energy song reference they did in Ellen's energy Adventure as a sponsor during the final jeopardy segment...

Then again, we haven't heard any of the scores used in the updated attraction, so hold your judgement until there's something to compare and determine how fitting it is to the new reimaged vignettes. No matter how much one may disagree, the old real consistent item is change. Not playing the political phraseology card of calling it all "progress", just change from what it was to something else.

It will be really unfortunate if there's no fun to be free return in any capacity. Such an easy bone to throw at the fans especially after calling this version of Test Track "World of Motion Inspired". This park has such a rich legacy of music that has been almost entirely wiped away over the years, would be great to hear a piece of it restored.
