The One Frustrating Reason You Should SKIP EPCOT in 2025

Happy 2025, DFB Readers. You may have plans to visit Disney World this year, and if you do…well, there’s a LOT going on.

EPCOT

You’re going to see some construction happening in Disney’s Animal Kingdom while Dinoland, U.S.A. becomes Pueblo Esperanza, a brand new land. Muppets Courtyard in Disney’s Hollywood Studios will eventually be converted into a Monsters, Inc. land. In Magic Kingdom, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad will be getting some kind of update and will be closed for at least a year, while we’ll also see construction for a new Cars expansion and Villains land. Well, EPCOT might not be as exciting to visit either…for one very important reason.

Over in EPCOT, construction is underway on Test Track, which is getting reimagined as a brand new ride with new show scenes that will focus on technological advances and how our lifestyles and relationships to transportation connect us all. The ride is even getting a new entrance that will look something like this.

Concept art for the ride even shows new ride vehicles that resemble those from the World of Motion ride that existed in this space YEARS and YEARS ago. World of Motion is being used as inspiration for the new version of the ride. The new ride will also feature a queue with six NEW exhibits.

Okay, now let’s face it…there aren’t a lot of thrilling rides in EPCOT. You’ve got Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind…and…the nauseating Mission: SPACE (seriously, the orange version can RUIN your day). But Test Track has always offered a bit of a thrill experience that’s tamer, but still a lot of fun. Or, it has. However, while it’s closed, that’s one less ride to get on in EPCOT.

Now there are folks who ALWAYS ride Test Track in EPCOT when they visit, and its extended closure is a real bummer. That alone could be enough reason to avoid EPCOT. However, the current opening timeline for the NEW Test Track is “late summer 2025.” Now, late summer could mean as late as September, which means Test Track could be down for the majority of the year. That also doesn’t take into account if there ends up being a delay on its reopening, which does happen in Disney World.

Lots of work to be done

So if you’re visiting EPCOT in 2025 with hopes of riding Test Track, you may end up disappointed. Your favorite ride might still be sitting behind construction walls depending on when you visit. Of course, there are plenty of other things to do in EPCOT, so it may not impact your trip THAT much. But if you’re a fan, you’ll certainly miss it.
