Overview
- Video posted publicly on July 30, 2026 shows the sliding doors operating again on Test Track’s indoor finale, confirming Disney has restored the effect.
- The doors were turned off after a vehicle struck them during Cast Member previews on June 30, 2025, an incident that left four guests with injuries requiring on-site treatment.
- Disney’s team altered the timing so the doors open earlier in the launch and now primarily prevent outdoor light from washing the projection-based finale rather than create the previous near-miss moment.
- The doors are constructed from breakaway foam and coverage from multiple Disney-focused outlets corroborates the change, with no reports of new injuries after the reactivation.
- Test Track, a long-running EPCOT thrill ride, has a history of technical fixes and this change highlights the trade-offs engineers and show designers made between guest experience and physical safety; guests and park monitors will likely watch for any further tweaks.
