Imagineering Instagram Video Reveals Heritage Easter Eggs in EPCOT’s Reimagined Test Track 3.0

The walkthrough positions the July relaunch as a tribute to classic EPCOT history via callbacks to World of Motion, Progress City.

Overview

  • Walt Disney Imagineering released a behind-the-scenes Instagram video in which Imagineer Dan points out hidden details built into the updated attraction.
  • Shelves in the ride space display small models of vehicles from all three Test Track iterations, nodding to the attraction’s evolution since 1999.
  • Props referencing the retired World of Motion include a 1920s biplane, a riverboat, and a redesigned sea serpent recreated from 1982 concept art.
  • The futuristic city finale draws directly from Walt Disney’s Progress City model, with the central building prominently represented and surrounding forms inspired by the concept.
  • Additional on-camera nods noted by outlets include house number 10182, a World of Motion logo welcome mat, the code “FN2BFRE,” and a planter featuring The Land pavilion’s logo.
