WDW website update features Test Track concept art!

[raven]

I'm glad some people are already homing in on the "replace physical sets with screens" thing. While it's a cool effect (along with with HM Augmented Reality piece), it's just a video screen. Nothing is actually happening to me or the car I'm riding in.

Will wait and see for this one. The concept art looks great! But a part of me finds it hard to get excited about this.

That could also be a mirror we see in the concept art. They could add the effects behind it.

I get what you're saying. But either way I'm still just looking at a screen or mirror. I would prefer (and I hope for) real sets to be used in conjuncture with such technology instead of the only thing being in that space is a window, mirror, or screen for me to look at.

There is other art that doesn't have a projection or screen in sight.

I want to design a car with a LS2 engine and Model T brakes.

Somehow I think the design aspect will have limitations.

You don't say.... The Disney community jumping to conclusions based on very little information!

The Grid??? :lookaroun

Ehhhhh.....I can tell exactly what they're changing since the track is staying the same. If they don't change the track then I find it hard to believe they are going to improve the ride that much. That ring around the top of the "hill climb" reminds me of the hurl-a-whirl coaster at AK.

It just looks like another change done on the cheap instead of getting to the heart of the issues...

Umm, this actually looks awesome... :sohappy:

Putting the "Future" back in Future World! :sohappy:

I don't think the concept art will do this any justice. I'll wait for a ride. I don't like the concept art, but that means little. So, you design a car and then ride. Afterward, you get a score that reflects your design. They should have just skipped the design concept since it doesn't affect anything, but a score.

Looks awesome-always thought the test dummy theming on TT was sort of hokey-looks really cool, sleek, and it seems re-rideability is a big objective....

The Grid??? :lookaroun

Now I know what everyone meant when they used the word "Tron". :lol:

All that's missing now is a light cycle or two and some Daft Punk music.

It's basically CyberSpace Mountain and Sum of All Thrills overlayed onto Test Track. I dislike the fake design and build crap...does nothing to the ride. But the Tron-like overlay looks pretty facinating.
