Took them long enough, but at least they finally see the potential. 🙂 Now it really is more a matter of when than if it will happen.

We're not talking about that. The millennium hub was messy and missing trees. THIS is what we're talking about: Clean, orderly pathways with plenty of green space, trees, and a kinetic water feature that functionally make sense with the surrounding architecture. I don't understand why this...

Oh, thank goodness. Happy to be wrong. 🙂

OK that makes sense. Construction photos show the show building being constructed around/over the turntable so a redo would most likely involve at least taking the roof/image works off. Or, to put it simply, the turntable is epcot's version of the everest yeti.

I don't see why they couldn't gut the remains of the turntable and simply build a new one in its place. The walls and 40ish% of the track are there unless it was built before the building was fully enclosed during original construction. If not that, then maybe gut the entire turntable part of...

Just slapping dreamfinder onto the current ride would be extremely cheap. The pavilion needs more than a simple rebrand. At least reinstall the missing 40% of the track.

It would be just fine if it matched the surrounding architecture. Unfortunately, it does not, so it's sticking out like a sore thumb. I guarantee people will consider this structure ugly and outdated after 5-10 years.

The canopy was a leftover from the GM preview center set up in late 1996 while the pavilion was closed. They simply never took it down until now.

Bless it.

This is all a major win in my book. I'm genuinely excited to see the results of this. Here's hoping the musical score is of the same quality as the current, and Test Track might just return to my #1 spot in the park. (No I haven't ridden guardians yet don't @ me)

New concept art and a closing date of June 17th was announced today.

Test Track is closing June 17th for its overhaul. New concept art was released this morning with a replacement for the current canopy and a new entrance sign.

My only gripe is ditching dinosaurs entirely. Maybe I'm the only one here who actually enjoyed DINOSAUR, but if we had to insert IP, couldn't there have been some way to keep dinosaurs in the park? Dinosaur has been my favorite in the park for years and I believe it was both highly underrated...

With Communicore Hall opening June 10th, I'd say this is definitely realistic timing for a July closure.

If that's the case, I'd rather not. We have enough massive box structures backstage in that part of the park and more importantly I don't want to see the front of the building covered up more than it already is. Unfortunately, the reduced downtime is very, very enticing though.

Kind of wish it was in September so I could drive down for the last day. Oh well.

Doubt it. People ride test track for the outdoor speed portion. Removing it would defeat the purpose of having the ride system in the first place. Though, to make it work there would have to be a serious redo of the layout inside including potentially adding another floor inside the building...

Agreed. I like to ask myself whether certain exhibits would be acceptable today. Body Wars? Probably not Cranium Command? I'd say no, but this is probably the one most likely to still work in today's environment. The hands-on exhibits? Debatable The Making of Me? Definitely not for multiple...

The only track switch in TT is the switch to maintenance that bypasses load. Unless they reduce the size of the maintenance bay, I have a hard time seeing how they could fit one in given the space constraints.
