    Is the "Earful Tower" returning as the DHS icon? See 2013 merchandise for clues

    Speaking of 2013 merchandise, I can't believe no one has mentioned how all of the 2013-branded merchandise features the old 1971 WDW logo with the "Mickey globe" replaced with a sorcerer Mickey. I took these photos at the beginning of this month:

    Al Lutz: "Management must stop bending over to pick up pennies as dollars fly over their heads"

    The "blue milk" you're talking about was what Luke Skywalker and his aunt and uncle had at the dinner table towards the beginning of A New Hope. I can't remember it being in any Cantina scenes though. On the subject of Avatar, why not put an Avatar attraction at DHS? That park needs a serious...

    I dont believe this!!!!!!

    I always imagined that Richard Hammond, James May and Jeremy Clarkson would be the perfect hosts for a Test Track pre-show and/or post-show. Not too sure that they're avid Chevrolet fans though. Still, seeing a small post-show done by them would be very cool.

    Opinion of Tommorowland

    Disney uses trackless technology for many rides over in Asia. They should consider replacing the Speedway with new trackless/electric vehicles. I always thought the concept for Aquatopia was interesting, although it's a pretty strange and pointless attraction. If they were to use the trackless...

    Test Track refurb???

    Even if you don't like cars, I think you'd find the design process on the touch screens to be interesting. Seeing how your vehicle stacks up to the others' vehicles in the car is kind of cool. Heck, I don't have any interest in 3D carnival games, but I enjoy Toy Story Midway Mania. Also, you...

    Test Track refurb???

    I got to ride it 3 times yesterday... I have to say it's an amazing improvement from the first version! The videos do not do it justice, you have to experience it yourself. There were "technical difficulties" for a minute or two when we were waiting in the pre-show room (before entering the...

    Test Track refurb???

    Looks amazing... very TRON-ish. I was hoping there'd be a Daft Punk soundtrack though.

    Test Track refurb???

    DaMouse posted a nice update... there's even WOM logos on the trash cans! :D haha I can see a lot of people involved in this attraction were big fans of WOM. I wish they'd go to Imagination and Energy next...

    Test Track refurb???

    Check out the World of Motion logo in the top right corner of the sign! That is awesome!

    Test Track refurb???

    Okay, thanks for the info. Maybe I'll go over anyway, I'd like to get a full recording of the area music before the crowds come in.

    Test Track refurb???

    Anyone know if a soft open could happen tomorrow?

    Test Track refurb???

    Thanks for posting that! I'm so excited to go now, can't wait for opening day! It seems that from what I've heard, Disney and Chevy have created a real winner. One question... how was the soundtrack to the ride? Any hints of World of Motion or Test Track or is it more Daft Punk/Tron?

    Test Track refurb???

    Are you sure it was January? I know Horizons opened exactly a year after EPCOT Center on October 1, 1983. The logo is on the directional sign. Did they have it up 10 months early? I was hoping they'd as least remove the Cool Wash. It's just pointless clutter.

    Test Track refurb???

    There were actually long lines for WOM at one time. This is a photo from Yesterland showing the queue line in 1983: Funny how they didn't find it necessary to put in a temporary "shade" structure then. On a side note, I wish they'd bring back those old Future World directional signs. They...

    Test Track refurb???

    I was thinking the same thing. I don't care for the new pointless overhang at The Seas' entrance (it reminds me of something you'd find at SeaWorld), but at least it looks permanent. I don't think even SeaWorld would install something that looked so temporary and plain as the Test Track canopy does.

    Test Track refurb???

    I guess that small piece of blue banner that I saw on Saturday makes sense now: Looks like it could be the start of the "T" or just a test they were doing of the colors. I don't understand why the canopy was chosen to be kept. With the theme transition from test facility to design center, it...

    Epcot Update with video

    Haha, I agree! I really wish they'd bring back the old pavilion logos. Thank you!

    Best WDW Sounds

    I too love the Star Tours chime (used to have it as my text alert) and the swooshing sound the logo makes on the Captain EO preshow. It begins at the 5:36 mark

    Epcot 30th - live updates and reports

    I saw some there when I was there on Saturday. Not too many left, but there were some.

    Epcot Update with video

    Hahaha! I just wanted to say something, I was actually getting a little queasy when watching it. :D Thanks! No problem, thanks for responding! Thanks, I do too! I love finding old hidden Future World stuff. :) Thanks!
