EPCOT's Reimagined Test Track Has 90-Minute Opening Shutdown, Repeated Breakdowns

Seven months after reopening, the attraction continues experiencing technical difficulties with its new systems.

Overview

  • Independent tracker WDWStats logged a 90‑minute interruption after EPCOT opened on February 19 before the ride came online.
  • After reopening, the attraction suffered multiple stoppages that stretched a posted 30‑minute standby into nearly two hours for some guests.
  • One guest reported joining the line at about 10:20 a.m. and still waiting at 12:15 p.m., citing at least one temporary closure during that period.
  • Guests said cast members offered only generic delay announcements and little actionable information while the queue stalled.
  • Test Track reopened on July 22, 2025 with in‑vehicle technology and upgraded scenery, and reports have documented recurring reliability issues since then; Walt Disney World has not commented on Thursday’s downtime.
