    News Test Track to be reimagined

    I only visited "classic" Epcot once, I visited in 1985 but not again until 2009. If I had been going on a regular basis I would have preferred a larger variety in the types of rides.

    News Test Track to be reimagined

    This is also how I feel. I loved all these rides when I was young, but I now see that they were a little to repetitious.

    The permit it from Coastal Steel, so they are probably doing the install.

    AI is coming to WDI?

    Disney's use of AI is pretty fascinating! It opens up new possibilities for storytelling, animation, and audience engagement. AI can help streamline production processes, enhance visual effects, and even personalize content recommendations. However, there are also concerns about creativity and...

    AI is coming to WDI?

    I like that Experts Exchange is totally leaning into the fact that they do not use AI. I think you are eventually doing to see more companies use that as a selling point.

    I doubt they would go to that much effort. Compared to building an entire structure, there are a small number of pieces that need to be moved so they will probably take the easiest route. A barge on the river would make the most sense.

    As long as they don't plan to use the crane during operating hours.

    Yes, they permit has not been approved yet, but that wouldn't be needed if they just wanted to drain the river for this purpose. Don't remember if they have needed a water management permit to drain the river in the past. That's a possibility.

    You hire good riggers! I remember pictures of them installing the lift hill track on the Seven Dwarfs Mine Ride after the shell of the mountain had been built.

    I am wondering if they will be able to reach the entire ride from that location or will they have to work from a second location?

    AI is coming to WDI?

    Generative AI (which is what all the current AI hype is round) is following the classic Gartner Hype Cycle. We are currently at the Peak of Inflated Expectations and companies are trying to throw AI at every imaginable problem. I think we are rapidly heading towards the Trough of Disillusionment.

    Looks like work being done in this area. There was a recent permit for the address of the Big Thunder maintenance bay which is the building right by the red circle.

    Permits 2024

    Just want to say that I don't have any plans to keep updating this thread. Most of the major permits are getting reported on this site before I can get to them so I really don't have any incentive to continue doing this. I will probably still keep an eye on permits and post about any that get...

    I highly doubt they would get rid of Hulk, it would just get re-themed.

    The question is, is the river space needed to provide access to Big Thunder for the re-track work?
