Someone feel free to correct me if I am wrong... the Original track is staying and most of the ride is remaining largely unchanged.. the ride vehicles will be updated though with more interative elements. The queue gets changed into the 'chevrolet design centre.' You design you 'simcar' and then take it out and test it on the course.. Sounds quite good and I'm interested in how the whole simcar thing will work. but I'm gutted it's going to be closed in August.

Really hoping it will open up once we arrive late September.

Yes, the track is staying the same, but the majority of everything else sounds like it will be changing. I hope that means they'll change the starter video too! The Simcar thing sounds really intriguing, if each individual rider is making their own 'ride' it's going to be quite a combination of reality/virtual reality - more so even than those rollercoaster simulators at DQ!

TT is in dire need of an update. Not my fave ride tbh, found the ride similar to being out on a drive with the other half . Can take it or leave it.

I'm beginning to wonder if they've confirmed its exact closure dates as, if you go onto their website 'park hours' calendar it has nothing on there at all about it closing on 15th April . In fact it says noting on there about closure dates full stop like it does with all the other ride closures so who knows!

We arrive 13th April so hoping it'll be open alittle longer than they originally said because our DS's really like it

I do feel for those travelling during the closure who will miss out on TT, but do think it would be unfair to only close rides in the quieter times - I know that the queues are lighter, but the ticket price stays the same! I have been at various times on previous trips and usually encounter at least 1 attraction closed for refurb. I hope TT opens in time for us to do it, but if it doesn't I won't let it take anything away from the holiday, and will still enjoy Epcot. It'll just give me a reason to make sure we go back (like I ever need one!)

Hay guys... just found this online...wonder if test track renovation HAS been put on hold?

Not saying it has but found this article which implies it might well be... makes an interesting read either way
