Test Track Reportedly Closed 93 Times in September

Published September 30, 2026

EPCOT’s Test Track was reported temporarily closed 93 separate times across 29 tracked days in September 2026, according to a review of Walt Disney World attraction downtime published Wednesday, September 30. That works out to more than three interruptions per tracked day at one of the park’s marquee thrill attractions.

As of Wednesday, September 30, Test Track is operating on its normal schedule and Disney has not announced any closure beyond routine daily downtime. The 93 figure counts separate temporary closure events reported during the month — not 93 days closed, and not 93 confirmed mechanical failures.

The same review listed other EPCOT attractions well behind Test Track: Spaceship Earth at 54 closures over 25 days, Frozen Ever After at 29 over 18 days, and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure at 27 over 20 days. Those counts describe how often interruptions were reported, not their causes or how long each one lasted.

The scrutiny lands on a version of the ride that is barely a year old. Disney closed Test Track in June 2024 for a major reimagining and reopened it July 22, 2025, with a new score and new scenes built around automotive technology, cameras, sensors and mobility, plus design cues drawn from the former World of Motion pavilion. The signature high-speed outdoor finale stayed.

Reported downtime followed almost immediately. Test Track had multiple interruptions during its first two public operating days in July 2025, a delayed opening and repeated interruptions on a February 2026 operating day, and in August was unavailable for much of one day, failed to open normally the next morning, and had a separate interruption of roughly five hours.

What’s not confirmed

Disney has not published a September breakdown of Test Track’s closures, so no cause — mechanical, software, weather or guest-related — has been confirmed for any of the 93 events. Disney has not announced another refurbishment, a schedule change, or any operational review of the attraction. The figures come from a single outlet’s tracking, not from Disney.

What it means for your trip

• Don’t build an EPCOT morning that only works if Test Track is running. Have a second World Discovery move ready — Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind if you hold a Lightning Lane Single Pass, or a walk toward World Nature while the ride cycles back up.
• Temporary closures usually resolve the same day. If it goes down while you’re in the park, keep moving and circle back rather than standing at the entrance.
• If you buy Lightning Lane Multi Pass and a selection is disrupted, Disney’s standard practice is to make an accommodation in My Disney Experience — check the app before assuming the selection is lost.
• Ride-status alerts are exactly what SupaPark watches: it flags the moment an attraction goes down and the moment it comes back, so you’re not guessing from across the park.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. The figure counts separate temporary closure events reported across 29 tracked days in September 2026, not full days of downtime.

Has Disney said why Test Track keeps going down?

No. Disney has not issued a September breakdown, so no cause has been confirmed for any of the reported closures.

Is Test Track closing again for refurbishment?

Not as far as Disney has said. The company has not announced another refurbishment following September’s reported interruptions.
