In a direct response to questions over internet criticism and the lack of guest information about Test Track’s closure mentioned earlier this year, a Public Relations rep for Disney told the Orlando Sentinel that the attraction will be closing on April 16, 2012. The exact quote from the article published this morning:

Despite Internet speculation of a delay, Walt Disney World says an overhaul of the Test Track attraction in Epcot is moving forward as planned.

A spokeswoman for the resort said the attraction, which is underwritten by General Motors Corp., will shut down April 16 for an extended renovation. The redesigned ride is to reopen in the fall with a new theme focused on GM’s Chevrolet brand and a new automotive-design center.
