News Test Track to be reimagined

[Jayspency]

That’s nice! Status on the song? Thought it was no for some reason.

I don’t see it coming back in the same way as it was in WOM, More likely it’ll return as a background loop for the queue and/or post show

I don't think the entire ride is going to have it playing like it did in WoM but I could see it on ride, even if just an instrumental. There were already plenty of nods to it in TT 2.0, including it playing as a jingle at the MagicBand touchpoints. I'm fairly confident it'll be back in some form based on nothing but a gut feeling.

Yeah i could def see it being intrsumental, though i hope we get the lyrics. I assume that what most people want when they say “It’s fun to be free in test track 3.0”

Disney as of late has a funny habit in their new rides of doing everything to try and please fans EXCEPT for the one thing they actually want and ask for (Facilier on the lift hill, No blood on the saddle return, putting Dinos in the Indy ride, closing muppetvision [yes i know there is muppets rnrc and the whole fiasco with villains and everything, trying to make a point though], figment’s…….everything over the past few years).

First time I'm really noticing how pretty the building looks without the old canopy in front of it.

 

[Homemade Imagineering]

Queue? Probably. Depends how much the 'history' part bleeds into the ride. But he's essentially the icon of WoM so they'll put him somewhere!

Would be pretty great if they repurposed the original figure, although I can’t remember whether he was thrown in a scrapyard or saved

I was today years old when I realized the sea serpent had an actual name. I had no idea.

Oh?

 

[Brer Panther]

Here's how you work the sea serpent into Test Track 3.0 - at one point, have the track go by a lake, and the sea serpent pops out of it. There.

He was backstage somewhere in California Adventure for a while, but I don't know where he is now.

Oh?

One of my personal favorite attraction easter eggs.

 

[Centauri Space Station]

I personally believe it's likely to come back. I don't see them passing up the opportunity for 'member berries here.

Maybe it will be a cameo like playing Universe of energy briefly before the big bang on Guardians.

A giant sea serpent would definitely stick out

Certain parts of projects always "appear" to move more quickly than others, and a contingent of onlookers show up without fail to comment on how slow or fast the work is proceeding without any context or understanding of the process.

Universal appears to have built an entire theme park from the ground up in the time it takes Disney to stop a toilet from running.

Oh, they're a good company. Glad to see they're on this project.

Does this mean they’re all done gutting the ride and ready to start building the new sets?

It just means they’re read to get started with their scope of work. It tells you nothing about the extent of their scope or the status of the overall project. You don’t need to (and in a big project probably should not) do all of the demolition in the facility before starting any new work.
