Or if you build an adult only lounge that serves $30 drinks and has a $179.99 per guest plus tax fireworks package right in front of the exit to outside.

EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

I will give them to opening. Recent history suggests it won’t be fixed, but maybe Disney will surprise us and actually give a hoot about show quality.

Even if they have plans to reimplement this effect, it won’t be anytime soon. They must have some type of safety investigation protocol to investigate what lead to the incident. They then have to plan how to fix and then actually fix the problem(s). Also, I highly doubt they have a replacement styrofoam door lying around, which means that it must be fabricated. That takes time.

s/ This is a thrill ride right? What's more thrilling then not knowing if you are about to crash into the wall!!! /s

This has actually happened before.
They do fix it. Any on another attraction if a ride vehicle had crashed into a door that failed to open causing injury, it would definitely result in a much longer downtime as they do a thorough investigation and an action plan for that attraction. For test track, specifically in this spot, It's kind of a thing hence the attraction is already operating.
They'll fix the door.

Just a terrific update.

Right?
Isn't this the same door opening mechanism that has always been there?

Boggles my mind how anyone comes home with a GM product, outside of say a Corvette - which lacks much direct competition at its price.

The door thing has happened a few times I believe. I though I remember hearing they keep spare doors around.
One TT internet rumor I’ve been wondering about for a while witch falls in line with this is about safety testing.
I read or watched somewhere they disabled all safety sensors during initial ride testing in the 90s. It said it was done as part of the system development since it was a first of its kind at the time. Anyway the story was the car flew around the loop, broke parts in the bogey or something like that, left the track and damaged part of the building requiring repairs and loosing a test car. Anyone know if that is a true story?

I will admit that the new ZR1 looks interesting, but that’s essentially where my positive thoughts/opinions on GM products end lol

Oh I see, the guy says it’s in the 70s out. Maybe intentional?

Seems like a bit of a stretch to me. It's not even the same number. I mean, I love hidden easter eggs and remnants, but this one doesn't cut it for me.
Every door should be a break-away poster board that gets replaced for each vehicle coming -- literally -- through.
So long as the CM installing it every 40 seconds gets hazard pay.

or like it is random - like it is part of the "Track" being "tested" and sometimes the test fails
Better still, make it one of those plastic strip door curtains. Like a carwash... to your face.
