What’s the budget for this update. That should probably give us an indication of how intricate the updates will be or lack thereof.

Looking at you 1.0 with your not included version of One little Spark ..They've made no reference or even allusion to any of this being included. Fun to be Free seems highly likely though, I don't know how you would advertise something as World of Motion inspired and not include it
I think we’re past the point of TT ever becoming CarsAs long as the sponsorship lasts it won’t become a CARS attraction
The only explanation I can think of for this is that you maybe watched the Futureport recreation? Other than that I have no idea where you got this from.
This is a great representation of how many people would have experienced EPCOT. I do think there were enough people who enjoyed what is described (not bored) to not abandon the concept and keep the theme intact. I know my family ended up spending more time in EPCOT once we were, say, over 10. I think of WDW as a portfolio of properties and that each one doesn’t have to appeal equally to visitors. But I’m also not the business owner!As someone who visited Epcot for the first time in the 2000, I was bored. World Showcase was mainly shopping, documentaries and at the time 2 rides. Future World leaned too heavily into the education side so much that we went on Ellen's Energy Adventure, walked through the chaos of Innoventions expecting a ride then went straight to World Showcase before eventually seeing Honey I Shrunk the Audience. It wasn't until the addition of Nemo that we went to the Seas pavilion, and that encouraged us to look at the other pavilions in Future World. It was the injection of IP that actually made it worth visiting these areas of the park, especially now for my family who regularly skip Small World, Figment and Tom Sawyer Island for being too boring

They need to be careful they don't ride too close to the Sunbird.show sets by Icarus Exhibits.

Any comparisons for what that kind of budget typically gets us? Anyone know how much the ToT retheme to Guardians was in DCA?People were parroting $100 million.
But I don't think that's going entirely towards the ride itself, I think the ride vehicles need general upkeep/updates since I think they're reaching the end of their expected lifespan? So it might be going all-in to keep Test Track well, on TRACK for the next two decades.
It only matters on the SolsticeThey need to be careful they don't ride too close to the Sunbird.
That’s actually what led to this happening. GM/Chevy are basically committing to another couple decades by paying for the maintenance work and said, “if we are paying this much and it has to close anyway, let’s make updates.”People were parroting $100 million.

I'd imagine the large components of the Tiana issue surrounded the political implications combined with the complete removal of the existing theme which had been in place for almost 30 years.Let’s hope that work doesn’t cause Tiana-level meltdown when TT reopens
I was referring to ride system updates causing extended downtime, not grown adults clutching at pearls.I'd imagine the large components of the Tiana issue surrounded the political implications combined with the complete removal of the existing theme which had been in place for almost 30 years.
TT has had its theme changed several times in the 20 years it has been around.
I doubt we'll any backlash at all.
I will never not think that Tiana as it happened in our universe was doomed from the start by multiple factors. But i do get what you intended to say about downtime. I worry slightly too.I was referring to ride system updates causing extended downtime, not grown adults clutching at pearls.
I think (hope) this TT work is just glorified redecorating and the ride system/vehicles/track will stay the same.That’s actually what led to this happening. GM/Chevy are basically committing to another couple decades by paying for the maintenance work and said, “if we are paying this much and it has to close anyway, let’s make updates.”
Let’s hope that work doesn’t cause Tiana-level meltdown when TT reopens. It has enough downtime as it is.
