News Test Track to be reimagined

[Captain Neo]

GM Assemble: Drive Force. Interesting to see them go from a TRON like design to a similar design to Marvel's Avengers Assemble Flight Force.

what is the reason there always has to be a covering outside? Is it a safety concern because of the test track track? The original design of the building is so elegant and supposed to be in the shape of a tire but ever since test track 1.0 went in there they ruined the whole profile of the building.

It has nothing to do with the track or ride. It’s only there to provide shade and cover for the queue.

I really hope they bring it back to the roots per se. The open warehouse look with some image mapping is old. Seeing some scenery would be nice. Would feel more complete and not thrown together. You enter test track so decked out, but then it quickly goes to black paint and some black lights. Just seems like they ran out of funding after the first 14 seconds of the ride.. hahaha

If they pull out the design concept, they can reconfigure the queue so that more people can be inside with more switchbacks or whatever.

I guess they’ll finally be updating the display below…?
The first pic is from June of ‘13, and the second is from Oct. of ‘23, with our oldest granddaughter…seems like they could’ve at least updated/changed the car a coupla’ times over the last 12+ years…?!

No one appreciates it more than the CM's standing out there too. Especially on either extremely hot or rainy days. Anything that makes their day just a little bit better is fine by me.

Nothing else to announce for D23 now.

The build your own car idea was cool but I don’t know if I’ve ever experienced it working perfectly. At least one screen per ride seems to be turned off or out of sync

 

[jeanericuser001]

I wonder if they will consider reviving the fun to be free tagline. At the very least they should bring back some of those old animatronics. At the very least the manly centaur and the giggling girl will get some good chuckles.

Bring this guy back...again!

As in “fix them permanently open”?

That's basically what it is now.

 

[DonniePeverley]

So this will be closed for a year then ?

At least a year I presume.

Less capacity is good for the sales of Genie+

Likely at least a year.

They don’t lower capacity to boost Genie+ sales.

 

[Disstevefan1]

Likely at least a year.

Agree to disagree on both points

There's plenty.

 

[peter11435]

Agree to disagree on both points

I’m not sure how can you disagree with the first point since it was itself agreeing with your own point.

If you disagree with the second point then you are objectively wrong.

This just occurred to me, Ford Magic Skyway began with Dinosaurs, perhaps with the closure of countdown we’ll be getting a dinosaur scene on Test Track?

Dinosaurs aren't allowed in Walt Disney World anymore.

Except for this guy:

Of all the pavilion's that needed fixing.. This wasn't the one.
