I'm torn on the sign. At first glance, I liked the simplicity. It did have a more classic Epcot feel. But, I'm starting to lean toward a little too simple. We'll have to see what the design idea and language of the attraction.

I assume the "fin" sticking out of the rectangular box is some kind of LED lighting effect for night time? I don't see any other reason that would have been included.

I know Mary sits on the board but is GM the longest sponsor at WDW?

For a single exhibit GM definitely takes the cake, they signed on for EPCOT in 1978. Coke didn't have a WDW exclusivity contract until after then I'm pretty sure. Their sponsorship of single attractions has bounced around a lot too, I don't think they have any true attractions now other than Club Cool? Last one would've been American Adventure or TGMR, right?

Test Track 2.0 died for your Sims. And on the third Quarter, rose from the tread.

A lot of people are saying it feels like an old Epcot sign, but it’s 40 years later and we have a large ship on a pedestal outside of Guardians, which actually makes this change feel a bit too subtle. Unless…

Any chance those cars stay parked outside after the wall comes down? It looks ever so slightly badass and I bet it frames the sign really well.

So is the plan to fill the circle with dirt/landscaping? It's difficult to tell from the original concept art if that's what it is (or is it some otherwise solid surface other than concrete?).

Maybe some actual landscaping (like low-level shrubbery or flowers) would break up the inherent dullness of the plain white monolith dominating the bottom half of the sign...

It might just be a giant hubcap.

I realize we're not far from re-opening but it still irks me that while the new sign says presented by GM, the temporary sign still says Chevrolet (a brand of GM). I know. No point in changing it now.

Ew. No. It gives off fast and furious supercharged vibes.
