Land Changelog // updated 2025.07.22
EPCOT · Walt Disney World
Reopened as Test Track presented by General Motors (3.0), a World of Motion-inspired retheme; added new scenes including a House of the Future, a forest drive, and a futuristic projection dome with an all-new musical score, while the SimCar design-your-own-vehicle concept was removed. The building and outdoor high-speed loop were retained.
Retired its virtual-queue requirement and opened a conventional standby line for the first time, ending the longest-running virtual queue in Walt Disney World history (~1,005 days); Lightning Lane Single Pass remained available.
Closed for an extended roughly 13-month reimagining (announced at D23 in September 2023), retiring the Chevrolet-sponsored 2.0 design-studio version after more than eleven years.
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind opened at EPCOT as EPCOT's first roller coaster and Disney's first reverse-launch coaster, anchoring the Wonders of Xandar pavilion in the former Universe of Energy building.
Reopened from refurbishment with the Green mission re-themed from Mars to a new Earth-orbit film, the Orange mission's Mars film updated to HD, and a new pre-show in which Gina Torres replaced Gary Sinise as CAPCOM; the Green side's minimum height was lowered to 40 inches via booster seats.
Reopened as Test Track 2.0 presented by Chevrolet after an April 2012 closure; the retheme added a Chevrolet Design Center pre-show where guests design a virtual SimCar, replaced the show scenes with a neon TRON-style 'SimTrack' and a new score, and restructured the experience around four tests (capability, efficiency, responsiveness, power). The track layout and ride vehicles were retained.
Added a non-spinning, less-intense 'Green Team' option alongside the original spinning 'Orange Team,' giving guests two selectable intensity levels of the same Mars mission.
Opened at EPCOT in the former Horizons pavilion, debuting a centrifuge-based motion simulator themed to a crewed launch to Mars, with a pre-show hosted by Gary Sinise as CAPCOM.
Opened as Test Track presented by General Motors, replacing the retired World of Motion (closed January 1996); the GM-themed dark ride simulated automotive proving-ground tests and ended on a high-speed outdoor loop reaching about 65 mph, the fastest Disney ride of its time.
