Previews of the reimagined Take a look at Monitor 3.0 at EPCOT are formally underway as of right now, June 27, 2025. With the primary Solid Members and their invited visitors now having skilled the overhauled attraction, we now have our first POV ride-through movies in addition to a sneak peek on the PhotoPass on-ride photograph.
Let’s begin with the fundamentals, which is that Walt Disney World introduced that Take a look at Monitor will formally open on July 22, 2025. So common ticket holders have to attend one other full month (nearly) earlier than taking a spin on the reimagined journey. In between every now and then, there can be a spread of previews and (hopefully) just a few days of soppy openings.
Imagineers together with groups from company alliance accomplice Chevrolet have reached again into historical past for inspiration from the unique World of Movement, and have introduced that spirit of optimism to the following iteration of Take a look at Monitor. They’re pushing innovation ahead and celebrating humanity’s enduring drive on the thrilling highway to a brighter tomorrow.
The queue of Take a look at Monitor 3.0 options six distinct displays, and inside every room have a good time the automobiles – and other people behind the automobiles – that push the envelope and assist get individuals to our subsequent chapter in our movement journey. New present scenes can be added showcasing technological advances and the way our existence and relationships to mobility join everybody.
Walt Disney World has described the reimagined Take a look at Monitor as providing visitors a pleasure journey by means of scenes specializing in onboard know-how, customization and personalization. Adopted by a visit by means of a scenic outside route reminding us all the joys of driving, taking on this planet round us and spending high quality time with family and friends.
All of that is the official description from Walt Disney World. You possibly can decide for your self how nicely they completed these goals within the first ride-through video under, courtesy of our buddy Jack at DSNY Newscast:
I’ll be sincere with you–I finished watching earlier than the 1-minute mark. As longtime readers know, we usually have a no spoilers coverage for ourselves, and expertise sights or leisure for the primary time in particular person. I believed perhaps I may make an exception for this, because it’s “simply” a journey reimagining of one thing I’ve performed numerous instances. However as quickly because it gave the impression to be beginning to “get good,” I needed to flip it off. I’ll journey it for myself very quickly–I can wait.
Not that you simply care about any of that, however the level is that I can solely provide restricted commentary concerning the first minute or so of the reimagined journey. My first thought is that I like that the home windows providing a view into the queue forward of belt-check. This has shades of World of Movement, and is a pleasant little contact that certain beats gazing at corrugated steel.
I additionally like the brand new dual-narrator format, that includes each a human information and an automatic (AI?) automobile voice. The interaction between the 2 appears each humanizing and futuristic, and is EPCOT-esque. I additionally like what I heard of the rating thus far, and the transient glimpse of how automobiles can use superior cameras and sensors to “see” the world they drive by means of through over 29,000 factors of sunshine (per a earlier behind-the-scenes Imagineering video). That’s all I’ve acquired.
So I ask you, fellow EPCOT Heart followers, are we again???
Is Take a look at Monitor 3.0 higher than its predecessor? Is that this the most effective or worst incarnation of the attraction? How does it examine with World of Movement? Is that this a greater reimagining than Tiana’s Bayou Journey? Does this make you roughly optimistic concerning the upcoming overhauls of Rock ‘n’ Curler Coaster and DINOSAUR? Does it provide you with hope about potential reimaginings of Spaceship Earth and Journey into Creativeness, or reaffirm that Imagineering ought to simply depart them as-is for now?
As these questions counsel, loads rides on the Take a look at Monitor reimagining. That is the primary huge mission of the present ‘period’ of Imagineering below Bruce Vaughn, and I actually hope they’ve turned a nook below new (outdated) administration! I’m genuinely curious to listen to your first impressions, particularly since this isn’t actually a journey that may be spoiled through textual content, solely video.
Along with the complete ride-through video, PhotoPass has additionally shared a primary take a look at the on-ride photograph for Take a look at Monitor 3.0 (above). This strikes me as a pleasant glow-up from the outdated on-ride photograph (under).
Based mostly on thumbnails for the ride-through movies which have already been posted, it seems that futuristic skyline is definitely within the attraction. I can’t wait.
I simply hope my expectations aren’t too excessive. I do know that is solely a journey reimagining, and that the observe format is unchanged, and the association of a number of present scenes most likely isn’t that completely different. I simply hope it’s an improve and extra within the spirit of EPCOT Heart and the unique World of Movement. Take a look at Monitor 2.0 felt woefully dated by the point it closed and the unique Take a look at Monitor was by no means nearly as good as some followers now make it out to be, so this being the most effective of the trio ought to (hopefully) be a low bar to clear.
For these anxiously awaiting extra particulars about previews, Walt Disney World teased that followers hold a watch out for extra data to share within the coming weeks about particular previews for Solid Members, Annual Passholders, Disney Trip Membership Members, Golden Oak residents and Membership 33 Members to journey Take a look at Monitor 3.0 earlier than the attraction formally reopens.
Truthfully, I’m stunned these haven’t been introduced already–I used to be anticipating particulars earlier this week (however it does appear that Walt Disney World is behind with every part, and that the Hong Kong Disneyland twentieth Anniversary has pushed again some bulletins).
Within the meantime, Solid Members previews of Take a look at Monitor 3.0 will happen by means of July 10, 2025. In all probability, the timing of CM previews pushes again AP, DVC, and different visitor previews of Take a look at Monitor 3.0 till July 11, 2025 on the absolute earliest.
Whether or not AP and DVC previews for Take a look at Monitor 3.0 can be through advance registration or digital queue is anybody’s guess at this level. As mentioned beforehand, I may see it going both method.
With that in thoughts, our advice if you wish to hedge your bets and attempt to doubtlessly “pre-register” for Take a look at Monitor 3.0 previews could be to make park reservations for EPCOT from July 11 by means of July 19, 2025.
To be abundantly clear, these are NOT confirmed and even rumored dates. It’s an informed guess, at finest, primarily based on the cadence of Tiana’s Bayou Journey previews final 12 months. It looks like Walt Disney World will most likely pull a web page from that very same playbook on condition that that is additionally a journey reimagining and getting extra individuals into the park throughout ‘Weight loss program EPCOT’ might be a precedence.
If it have been me and I didn’t care about being first, I’d most likely goal July 13-18, 2025 for EPCOT reservations. I’d hazard a guess that these are the dates most definitely to have AP previews, and if you happen to’re wanting the most effective hedge, a number of reservations throughout that window will most likely have you ever lined. In fact, that’s assuming the previews use a park reservation and digital queue system, and I actually suppose it’s about 50/50 at this level.
I wouldn’t hassle with park reservations for EPCOT on July 20-21, 2025. The variety of simultaneous reservations you may maintain is finite, and it’s finest to maintain them within the candy spot of likeliest dates.
Whereas it’s potential that previews proceed till absolutely the final minute, I doubt it. There most likely gained’t be an enormous gala media occasion given the final minute nature of the announcement and this being smaller-scale than a fully-fledged new attraction, however I’d count on a few non-public occasions for media and Normal Motors executives. Alternatively, it’s potential that these days are ‘shock & delight’ tender openings.
To every their very own, but when it have been me…I’d most likely make a number of days of park reservations to hedge my bets. I’d need three cracks on the digital queue. That’s the good play, and also you higher imagine different Annual Passholders have the very same concept. On condition that, it wouldn’t shock me if the success price for this theoretical Take a look at Monitor 3.0 preview is below 50%. Possibly it’s nearer to 25% or 33%?
It’s additionally potential that the Annual Passholder and Disney Trip Membership preview window is even tighter, leaving extra room for tender openings. I’m skeptical of that, although. I believe it’s most likely extra engaging to Walt Disney World to lure locals out to EPCOT throughout Weight loss program EPCOT than it’s to extend capability for vacationers who’re already visiting, regardless.
Except for TRON Lightcycle Run, which was an anomaly since Disney clearly timed previews in such a way to permit for tender openings throughout spring break, Walt Disney World hasn’t performed tender openings for a significant attraction in a number of years. It’s all been these managed previews for choose visitors. Take a look at Monitor 3.0 is much more of a ‘identified amount’ much less in want of previews for the reason that journey system is unchanged from its predecessor, so I’m inclined to wager towards tender openings on this case.

The interaction between the 2 appears each humanizing and futuristic, and is EPCOT-esque. I additionally like what I heard of the rating thus far, and the transient glimpse of how automobiles can use superior cameras and sensors to “see” the world they drive by means of through over 29,000 factors of sunshine (per a earlier behind-the-scenes Imagineering video). That’s all I’ve acquired.
So I ask you, fellow EPCOT Heart followers, are we again???
Is Take a look at Monitor 3.0 higher than its predecessor? Is that this the most effective or worst incarnation of the attraction? How does it examine with World of Movement? Is that this a greater reimagining than Tiana’s Bayou Journey? Does this make you roughly optimistic concerning the upcoming overhauls of Rock ‘n’ Curler Coaster and DINOSAUR? Does it provide you with hope about potential reimaginings of Spaceship Earth and Journey into Creativeness, or reaffirm that Imagineering ought to simply depart them as-is for now?
As these questions counsel, loads rides on the Take a look at Monitor reimagining. That is the primary huge mission of the present ‘period’ of Imagineering below Bruce Vaughn, and I actually hope they’ve turned a nook below new (outdated) administration! I’m genuinely curious to listen to your first impressions, particularly since this isn’t actually a journey that may be spoiled through textual content, solely video.
Along with the complete ride-through video, PhotoPass has additionally shared a primary take a look at the on-ride photograph for Take a look at Monitor 3.0 (above). This strikes me as a pleasant glow-up from the outdated on-ride photograph (under).
Based mostly on thumbnails for the ride-through movies which have already been posted, it seems that futuristic skyline is definitely within the attraction. I can’t wait.
I simply hope my expectations aren’t too excessive. I do know that is solely a journey reimagining, and that the observe format is unchanged, and the association of a number of present scenes most likely isn’t that completely different. I simply hope it’s an improve and extra within the spirit of EPCOT Heart and the unique World of Movement. Take a look at Monitor 2.0 felt woefully dated by the point it closed and the unique Take a look at Monitor was by no means nearly as good as some followers now make it out to be, so this being the most effective of the trio ought to (hopefully) be a low bar to clear.
For these anxiously awaiting extra particulars about previews, Walt Disney World teased that followers hold a watch out for extra data to share within the coming weeks about particular previews for Solid Members, Annual Passholders, Disney Trip Membership Members, Golden Oak residents and Membership 33 Members to journey Take a look at Monitor 3.0 earlier than the attraction formally reopens.
Truthfully, I’m stunned these haven’t been introduced already–I used to be anticipating particulars earlier this week (however it does appear that Walt Disney World is behind with every part, and that the Hong Kong Disneyland twentieth Anniversary has pushed again some bulletins).
Within the meantime, Solid Members previews of Take a look at Monitor 3.0 will happen by means of July 10, 2025. In all probability, the timing of CM previews pushes again AP, DVC, and different visitor previews of Take a look at Monitor 3.0 till July 11, 2025 on the absolute earliest.
Whether or not AP and DVC previews for Take a look at Monitor 3.0 can be through advance registration or digital queue is anybody’s guess at this level. As mentioned beforehand, I may see it going both method.
With that in thoughts, our advice if you wish to hedge your bets and attempt to doubtlessly “pre-register” for Take a look at Monitor 3.0 previews could be to make park reservations for EPCOT from July 11 by means of July 19, 2025.
To be abundantly clear, these are NOT confirmed and even rumored dates. It’s an informed guess, at finest, primarily based on the cadence of Tiana’s Bayou Journey previews final 12 months. It looks like Walt Disney World will most likely pull a web page from that very same playbook on condition that that is additionally a journey reimagining and getting extra individuals into the park throughout ‘Weight loss program EPCOT’ might be a precedence.
If it have been me and I didn’t care about being first, I’d most likely goal July 13-18, 2025 for EPCOT reservations. I’d hazard a guess that these are the dates most definitely to have AP previews, and if you happen to’re wanting the most effective hedge, a number of reservations throughout that window will most likely have you ever lined. In fact, that’s assuming the previews use a park reservation and digital queue system, and I actually suppose it’s about 50/50 at this level.
I wouldn’t hassle with park reservations for EPCOT on July 20-21, 2025. The variety of simultaneous reservations you may maintain is finite, and it’s finest to maintain them within the candy spot of likeliest dates.
Whereas it’s potential that previews proceed till absolutely the final minute, I doubt it. There most likely gained’t be an enormous gala media occasion given the final minute nature of the announcement and this being smaller-scale than a fully-fledged new attraction, however I’d count on a few non-public occasions for media and Normal Motors executives. Alternatively, it’s potential that these days are ‘shock & delight’ tender openings.
To every their very own, but when it have been me…I’d most likely make a number of days of park reservations to hedge my bets. I’d need three cracks on the digital queue. That’s the good play, and also you higher imagine different Annual Passholders have the very same concept. On condition that, it wouldn’t shock me if the success price for this theoretical Take a look at Monitor 3.0 preview is below 50%. Possibly it’s nearer to 25% or 33%?
It’s additionally potential that the Annual Passholder and Disney Trip Membership preview window is even tighter, leaving extra room for tender openings. I’m skeptical of that, although. I believe it’s most likely extra engaging to Walt Disney World to lure locals out to EPCOT throughout Weight loss program EPCOT than it’s to extend capability for vacationers who’re already visiting, regardless.
Except for TRON Lightcycle Run, which was an anomaly since Disney clearly timed previews in such a way to permit for tender openings throughout spring break, Walt Disney World hasn’t performed tender openings for a significant attraction in a number of years. It’s all been these managed previews for choose visitors. Take a look at Monitor 3.0 is much more of a ‘identified amount’ much less in want of previews for the reason that journey system is unchanged from its predecessor, so I’m inclined to wager towards tender openings on this case.
