What does everyone think? perhaps these are being manufactured along with the Cars vehicles for DCA.

Notice the very prominent GM logo there.

I think I like the old colors better, but I really like the chevy logo in the front! I guess this is what we are getting for the TT refurb, along with an interactive queue and hopefully some track refurb. The Anti-lock brake part has been broken for months now. Thanks for the pics.

I like them actually.... Maybe this is all part of the rumored refurb for next year????

 

[ptaylor]

Anyone know if this is an actual complete new vehicle or a new skin on an existing chassis?

It looks like the Tronorail :lol:

Loooove it! Hopefully the TVs and audio actually work...

It would be nice to get folks in and KEEP them in for the entire pre-show too

We're driving Chevys now? :lol:

So...I wonder if this is the beginnings of the rumored refurb. Lets hope so.

^^ I'm guessing they won't all be Chevys.

It looks really nice. I'm also curious if its a completely new car, or just a new chasis.

I rode Test Track yesterday once and noticed that the TV in the center of the briefing room has finally been replaced with an HDTV. The ones on the left and right were still CRTs. Its nice to see Test Track getting some love, it sorely needs it. The car I had yesterday was squeeking and grinding the entire ride, and at least 1/3rd of the time the onboard audio isn't working when I ride.

Anyone else think it looks a little bit like a Chevy Volt?

 

[JustInTime]

I think that this is honestly the early signs of the refurb. This will mean less downtime and will create buzz. Either way, this is most welcome. And this confirms we won't get a Cars overlay.

Such good news! I really hope its a completely new car because when I went on last week, the ride was such a mess. So many people were complaining that their cars had no sound (including my own.) But anyway, the cars look really nice!

I'd say it looks more like the Chevy Cruze:

It looks like the Tronorail :lol:

:ROFLOL:



It just looks like they repainted two cars really. But, I believe the entrance should be very much updated, those big posters with those ugly looking people look like they were made in the.. oh wait, the were.

The last original pavilion. :king:

Is the constant downtime at test track due to the ride vehicles or the ride computer system?

Is the constant downtime at test track due to the ride vehicles or the ride computer system?

It's mostly due to inclement weather because of rain at 65 MPH and also because the wet track causes a "safety hazard" somehow... So I guess they dry it or it's just something they say.... :shrug:

On a side note: YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! This means no Cars!!!!!! Happy Dance Time! :lol:

Yep, no cars overlay thank god. Alright let's bring the cars to the studios!
