A few strategically placed braces can work in total harmony with all of Sir Isaac Newton's laws and at the same time make a better SSE.
My bus driver said the golf ball was getting a BB8 hat.
It would take more than braces.
The building was proven not to be able to handle the change.

It is a nice touch, and actually in keeping with Epcot’s theme, since the projected message faces World Showcase and changes languages every few seconds.

This is something that’s bothered me about TT 2.0 since day 1. The whole immersion in the Sim track digital world is broken as soon as you go outside. If not complete enclosure, even a TRON-type canopy over the track could’ve worked to preserve the theme.
Speaking of canopies, here’s hoping the Future World overhaul brings that ugly TT entrance canopy down.

As you plunge outside you are returned to the real world of testing.

Agreed.
If Carnival Cruise Lines can put a roller coaster on an ocean liner, SSE can manage an exterior coaster!

Build a bigger sphere around it. That'll show the GotG gravity building who's boss!

Test Track 2.0 went about 80% of the way IMO. Pre-show and post show received solid updates. The ride itself missed the mark. I'd love to see them incorporate the guest creations onto the screens to actually put our vehicles through the tests with something other than a numeric value.

I agree 100%. It is insane how much I loved the ride and now....nothing. I feel the same way about Soarin' and the bent Eiffel tower.

You can always ask to be seated in one of the central gliders; they’ve never once refused my request. I don’t get why so many people complain about this when there’s such a simple solution.

2/3s of people riding get a poor experience that's why. Not everybody can ask for the middle, nor do most know to ask.

I’m referring to forumites, not the average guest. We all know that the CMs accommodate such requests, so why not ask to be placed in the middle section if the bendy Eiffel Tower bothers you so much?
The structure could handle Rocket Rods fine. They're not going to build something unsafe. The RR issue came from the fact that a budget cut forced them to use the existing unbanked track, which necessitated a lot of speeding up then very aggressive breaking. This was tough on the ride system which caused a LOT of downtime.
It also cracked the structure in several places and made the ride vehicles literally rip themselves apart.
