Disney's Test Track extended renovation 2012
'Test Track' at Disney's EPCOT looks like it will be closed for refurbishment from April to September 2012. The renovation is reported to be costing around $60 million. Rumour has it that a deal between Disney and General Motors would completely gut the Test Track attraction, leaving only the ride path and vehicles chassis in place.Other areas of the pavilion would also be completely refurbished. The Test Track vehicles will be designed by GM's in house design team rather than Disney Imagineers including adding new interiors and new electronics with new screens. The ride scenes will concentrate on vehicle design, production, fabrication and testing.

what a stupid time to be closing this attraction, right through the busy 2012 summer season. Along with the refurbishment of MK why dosnt Disney think about its timings!

That's what DH said. Why not close it after Christmas or something it is really annoying, they shut these things down but you still pay the same price for tickets:angry: all the good things I go on are either broke down or being refurbished Come on Disney sort yourselves out

One of my favourites so glad I am not going until October 2012. I hope they don't change it too much though although it would be great if it was a bit more reliable!
