In addition to these two fast and furious attractions, many of us anxiously await the reopening of Epcot® favorite Test Track® Attraction as Imagineers work diligently to complete the re-imagined attraction, slated to re-open this fall.
The newly re-imagined Test Track® Attraction presented by Chevrolet will be changing from its current testing grounds concept to the new “Chevrolet Design Center at Epcot®” where you can dive into the excitement of an automotive design center!
Within the new Test Track® Attraction presented by Chevrolet, riders will be in charge of designing their own custom ride vehicles before hitting the track to test out their design! The new Test Track® Attraction ride vehicles will be re-skinned cars that are now called SimCar’s. Riders will take their SimCar out to prove their design in the Test Track® Attraction course! Designs will be tested for capability, efficiency, responsiveness and power.
Following the ride, guests will be redirected into a newly renovated showroom featuring current Chevrolet products. Additionally, guests will have the opportunity to make a TV commercial featuring the car the designed or race their car on a virtual track.
And don’t forget; while the ride is down for refurbishment, you can catch the Test Track All Stars performing at the ride entrance!

The margarita is the most common tequila-based cocktail in the United States. And since today is National Tequila Day, it seems like the perfect opportunity to mention La Cava del Tequila!
La Cava del Tequila offers over 95 varieties of Mexico’s National Drink. With room to only seat 30 people, the lounge offers a quiet, intimate setting for sampling premium tequilas and margaritas. An official “tequila ambassador” from Tequila, Mexico is also on hand to educate guests on the history and making of tequila. La Cava del Tequila features food from a small tapas menu to their guests.
Today, the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™ at Disney’s Hollywood Studios® turns 18! This thrill ride for big kids, teens, and adults sends riders plunging down a dark freight elevator shaft of the once glamorous Hollywood Tower Hotel.
