The new marquee is up for EPCOT's Test Track, in advance of its reopening later this year.
Walt Disney Imagineering shared a first look at the ride's new sign this morning.
"The design echoes the attraction's architecture, while incorporating the new logo in illuminated letters that will look amazing both day and night," Imagineering said.
We are still awaiting an official reopening date for the popular EPCOT ride, as well as details on everything that is changing inside the attraction.

The original Test Track was charming with its whole test drive theme. Test Track 2.0 was a giant miss. Hence why 3.0 is on the way. I hope they truly ditch the whole futuristic vibe of 2.0 and bring in some more realistic visuals. Like a forest, which was included in the concept art.
Test Track is an Epcot staple. Here's hoping the ride is back sooner than later. Surely would help distribute crowds and Lighting Lanes. Excited to hear how Test Track 3.0 turned out.
I suspect that it's a lot of updating the GM design branding.
I preferred the original TT to the "Tron" theme which isn't needed now that there's Lightycle Run. Hopefully it goes back to that theme more
If this much of an announcement is being made over a sign, what does that tell you about the actual ride?
I think Test Track was an awesome and unique addition to Epcot when it was new, and even the second version of the ride was cool for a while, but you can only milk that old ass layout/ride system so many times. I agree with Russel there's really not much they can do to make this ride a lot better than it was before.
Also it's puzzling that they stuck with the blue and gray color scheme when one of the main comments people made about TTv2 was it reminded them of Tron (AKA "Tron Track"). Now that WDW has the actual Tron ride I think it would have made sense to move to a different color scheme for the branding of this ride, perhaps back to orange/yellow/black which I think would have looked great with this design.
They've been testing for a few weeks (cars running on track) so they're getting closer to opening.

Ooooh look, it's a sign. WOW!
Seriously, my expectations for this renovation are extremely low, because there just wasn't much downtime here to allow for anything that would significantly alter this attraction.
