    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    The idea of a kids exploration area, caves, fort to play around in etc will never date, it's not about IPs. IPs only matter to the Disney corporation, they've lost sight of what childhood is about.

    EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

    With rocks. Big or small, that is the question.

    Any good YouTube channels?

    Sounds like a video version of Tattle. I think it says more about those people than the people they are "investigating" for hollow and empty lives.

    This is Disney. Magic happens.

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    If Indiana Jones and Encanto are a "perfect fit" for Animal Kingdom then Snow White is even more so and I'm surprised that IP hasn't been used, it's so obvious.

    I find it funny that the car translates it to Celsius!

    EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

    Has it ever been confirmed if the sign on the speed loop does indeed measure the actual car speed or whether it's just there for effect? It now registers 65.1, just wondering if that's an in-joke because the previous one famously only went to 64.9.

    EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

    That's exactly what I saw. It was the male/female conversation, the set pieces of what a future home could look like...reminded me very much of the feeling you got with Horizons. Sounds weird, but I think my fascination with exploring the room mockups in IKEA came from Horizons, the living room...

    Not sure that the music is easily heard in the videos actually, but the best way I can describe it is "pleasant background music"! No, it's not as addictive as 2.0.

    EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

    Nope - not underwhelmed, I'm pleasantly surprised, and relieved actually. It's sort of what I expected it to be, reading between the lines, seeing what was published etc and being sensible about it. Disney didn't hype it up with WoM statements, the fans did. I don't recall what the exact words...

    EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

    Well, it's pretty similar to RSR really. It has three acceleration points, some flat turns where you experience some laterals, and obviously a high speed finale with banked corners. Yes, it's faster, and you'll feel more wind in your face but you probable go faster than that on your journey to...

    EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

    1. The first part of the original brake test section, the skid bit, is indeed about using lidar to spot obstacles and to help avoid them in a self-driving situation. The second part isn't about braking any more, it's a representaion of providing power to an EV via smart roads and inductive...

    Just one random observation (there may be quite a few of these as we notice more detail!), I like the way sunlight breaking through the tree canopy is simulated.

    EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

    Don't know, but it's big. It's interesting, seems to have parallax, which means it must have been rendered from the point of view of the moving car. Unless it's the 2.5D projection-mapped scenery as used in MMRR.

    EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

    So many points here. a. Although technically anything is IP, what we generally mean by IP in theme park terms is a movie/character that existed initially outside the theme park environment, created or owned by the media behemoth of which the theme park owner is a part, and "parachuted" in to...
