I, and I'm sure others out there [Reply if you feel this way! :lol: ]...feel blessed in a way that the world of motion pavilion is still there. I sometimes find comments online from "newbies" saying how cool the test track pavilion looks...yet some or even many of them have no idea what it once was.
The paths to the motion pavilion are still intact I believe, along with still the various foliage and lighting. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but is the current test track sign, placed on the circle where the former world of motion sign used to be?
I guess what I had hoped for...was that there would be no large covered tent. I wish they could have made it much more smaller, and have made an enclosed and temperature conctrolled queue with all the information about testing cars etc in there. Then could have saved the original world of motion indoor queue with the imfamous chrome and orange walls.
I do wonder if they ever could have kept the ramp that swung you up into the pavilion. I don't think the cars could have made that sharp turn up onto the second level....I also wished they could have kept the city of tomorrow model after the cars took the lap around the pavilion.
Oh well we still have the pavilion, the memories, the photos, videos, and experience of this great ride. Even the transcenter is still there, though I guess a shadow of its former self.
Unlike Horizons there was no great controversy. It took a while but GM and Disney finally agreed to make a new ride. My 1994 world of motion guidebook even mentions "a whole new world of motion experience" or something like that coming soon. Test track is a good ride. It is fun, and enjoyable, but still was it worthy enough to completely erase the original GM World of motion.
