Walt Disney World Epcot Discussion Thread

The new wine bar sounds great. Epcot has the best food offerings of any park, and this is only going to make them better.

I agree about toe food. Actually, epcot is by far my favorite park.

One thing that bums me out is that they are shutting test track down during one oft he busiest time of year.

^ There is no down time anymore. They'd have it closed for the summer season, or the holiday breaks.

[cfcI've gone pantless!]

^Yeah, that's the thing. WDW doesn't really have an "off season." I remember when Disneyland used to shut down two days each week from January through March--it gave them a chance to do a lot of work without having to worry about guests.

But those days are long gone.

The wine bar sounds awesome. I am also excited to see what happens with Test track, the whole design floor concept sounds awesome. It is unfortunate when the rides go down for Summer, but like stated above....not really any down time aside from a few random weeks out of the year. It's like when Space Mountain went down through the majority of the spring and summer, and my CP.

Pardon our dust. This attraction is temporarily closed for refurbishment and scheduled to reopen in fall 2012.

We're gearing up for an exciting re-imagined Test Track! When complete, you can design your own custom concept vehicle, then buckle up and put your design through its paces on the exhilarating hills and switchbacks of the Test Track circuit.

On April 15th, 2012 at 9:00 pm Test Track closed its doors for the final time to make way for a major overhaul of the popular attraction at Epcot. I was fortunate enough to be there for the attraction's last run, riding in one of the last cars that sent guests around the Track that night. And of course, I took plenty of photos (and video) to document it.

The video should be ready soon, but in meantime, here are some photos from the attraction's last few hours of operation, including what the closure of the attraction looked like from inside of the queue.

How do you get into the GM VIP room, and is it open durring the remodel?

^You had to be a GM employee with a corporate ID badge to get in the lounge. Not sure what they will do with it after the retheme.
