If the expectation is "meet or surpass the original attraction", then yeah that's an almost certain impossibility (prove me wrong Disney! haha, prove me wrong...). If the expectation is "better than what's there currently" I think it would take genuine talent to not meet that. The bar isn't even...

I don't think Figment is "weird Disney" even. He's a classic Disney character, one I'm kinda shocked they took until the '80s to create. Imagination is what the entire company is built on, turning that concept into a character is about as Disney as it gets.

As part of the Futureport team I can say that the cutout thing was simply the only way we could realistically release a WoM recreation without taking several years, it’s just so AA heavy that we went with using photos and focused the modeling effort on everything else. The hope is to someday...

I think something to consider about the speed tunnels is that they were a bit of “future proofing” that ultimately didn’t need to exist. For an attraction about history you do need room for expansion later on when more history happens, so the speed tunnels could easily have been removed for more...

It also had almost 200 animated figures

Enclosing 90% of the exterior track just to leave the tiny sliver of it that's on stage unenclosed is perhaps the dumbest thing they could do to Test Track. No operational benefit at a significant expense

The secondary marquee on the building itself has been removed. Really want them to have a section where you watch clips from Tron surround your vehicle again, if anything just to make people who hated TT 2.0 mad

I totally get what you’re saying and all but this is a funny quote considering we’re talking about Test Track, the sponsored attraction that was delayed by two years originally

By that logic none of the little things in WDW should be cared about. We’re on a WDW fan discussion board, the little things that comprise the “Disney Difference” is most of our bread and butter. Sure it doesn’t effect operations, but it’s a cheap thing that derives from the park experience...

People would also dogpile right back on Iger after the whole "nondescript" incident that caused him to come out and say how much he values it as an original experience. He'd never hear the end of it.

Yeah, and it really should be to anyone that values the collective whole of EPCOT. A core part of Future World's visual identity has always been its unique architecture, buildings that make a statement before you even get within 50 feet of them. The canopy detracts from that heavily. The problem...

I don't think it would be enough of a difference to meet or exceed the current ride time with stops, but don't the trains move quicker through the scenes now than they did in the original attraction? The attraction is no longer intended to travel slowly through scenes (beyond the upside down...

I've not heard anything about WoL in a little while, but from little tidbits I've picked up it seems they are very serious about EPCOT 50 being a big deal. It would shock me if some of the work being discussed happens and the 50th comes along with Wonders still empty (though, in fairness, I...

That much I don't know, however it seems like they are very serious about SSE. It won't be getting the cheap fix some of us have speculated it would be getting, the scope may end up being larger than the last announced overhaul. That gives me faith that Figment will get the same amount of money...

FWIW, I am now hearing the same “SSE & Imagination rehabs by EPCOT 50” thing that Moth has been saying from people I trust. It sounds like SSE is taking priority over JII, as expected, but this is something that’s gaining momentum. I still do not expect us to hear anything at D23.

This is the first I've heard of it having a canon name and "Kimballum Horriblus" is such an incredible one

I feel like you're forgetting a solid handful of characters here but one big one does come to mind

I'd wager it would be weirder if they ignored it. It's still a large structure in the park, hence why it's on guide maps still.

It’s pretty simple, just a new interpretation of the original attraction. Nothing else needs to be done. The original still holds up and should have never closed to begin with.

It's ugly and blocks the view of the building. It was only installed to serve as shade for the Test Track preview area and a structure to mount the giant preview mural on, then was retained as a relatively last minute decision. It was upsetting enough seeing it retained through TT 2.0, giving it...
