Test Track Closed for Refurbishment

Beginning Monday April 16, 2012 the Test Track attraction at Epcot will be closed for refurbishment. It is scheduled to reopen sometime in the Fall of 2012.

Insidethemagic.net is reporting that once it reopens it will be renamed to either the “Chevy Design Center at Epcot” or the “Chevy Design Studio at Epcot.” When it reopens, guests will be able to use interactive workstations to design their own custom ride experience which will be applied to the new ride vehicle.

During the refurbishment an a cappella singing group called “Test Track Allstars” will perform each day in front of the Test Track Pavilion. The Land will also remain open 1 hour later everyday giving guests access to Soarin’, Circle of Life, Living with the Land, the Character Spot, and merchandise & food locations (via insidethemagic.net).

I’m excited to experience the soon to be newly designed ride experience. But, I’m not too wild about the new name though. What do you think? I guess most fans will end up calling it the CDC or CDS...though calling it the CDC could cause some people to think of the Centers for Disease Control. Here’s to hoping they call it the “Chevy Design Studio at Epcot” or something else completely.
