EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

How

and somehow manage not to be alienated by Disney like AT&T, ExxonMobil, General Electric, United Technologies,MetLife,Kraft,Kodak,Nestle,Chiquita and Siemens.

How dare you, kind sir. If it wasn’t for the corporate sponsors exiting the space which most guests say “look at the totally ignored dark glass bank behind SSE, wonder what that is” we would never have gotten a place to go without kids at Disney World. They just need to put Kid parking next to stroller parking. And don’t even get me started on the pleasure it is to no longer go to Restaurant Marakesh. Why have a unique dining option? I’m just glad VIPs have a place to get VIP cold water sponsored by people who give out water.

And THANKS to families from Denver, for pulling their share.

The narrator had a stroke and can no longer do the announcements. I’m surprised they haven’t hired someone else to do them or even an AI version.

I haven't ridden the epcot line in forever, is it the same narrator who does the bus? I really like his voice.

He used to appear at Star Wars Weekends and would do a bunch of voices, was cool

Well, Mary Barra, Chairman and CEO of gm, is a director on the Disney board, I am sure that has something to do with it.

It is literally the least they can do <——— the winky means I am kidding.

I am very impressed they got this done in a timely fashion.

I remember seeing it as a little kid sitting between my grandparents hearing the symphonic version its fun to be free still to this day. I kiss of hope they play that as we hit the outside part of test track

Unlikely

It will be really unfortunate if there's no fun to be free return in any capacity. Such an easy bone to throw at the fans especially after calling this version of Test Track "World of Motion Inspired". This park has such a rich legacy of music that has been almost entirely wiped away over the years, would be great to hear a piece of it restored.

Then again, we haven't heard any of the scores used in the updated attraction, so hold your judgement until there's something to compare and determine how fitting it is to the new reimaged vignettes. No matter how much one may disagree, the old real consistent item is change. Not playing the political phraseology card of calling it all "progress", just change from what it was to something else.

It could go similar to the Energy song reference they did in Ellen's energy Adventure as a sponsor during the final jeopardy segment...

I don't think it comes back lyrical. I'd bank on an instrumental or "Fun to be free" said during narration.

Or simply put on a license plate "Fun 2B Free" or do what they did last time in 2.0 on the straightaway..

I imagine it will get dropped into the script somewhere. Once. In part, at least.
