Any Updates on Test Track Redo?

[TheDisneyMagic]

Ewww. :hurl:

Kinds Island in Ohio had a tree beside the queue line for the white water rapids ride that people started putting gum on and they never cleaned it off. After a while it had so much gum on it that section of the tree looked like a Candyland game board. :hurl:

Yuck, here in the UK for a couple of years at Thorpe Park and Alton Towers they placed gum boards throughout the queues for attractions for people to stick their gum to. Absolutely disgusting!

Thankfully they have been taken down now.

It'll be fun to speculate what new items will be going into the ride...But I would believe the whole idea that GM has behind the "simcar" concept is to collect marketing data from riders (what type of car/options most people are interested in), and less to impact the overall experience of the ride.

It would be neat to take a ride through the "grid" as some members have hinted at tron-ish elements being added.

Has a figure come out on what type of money is being put into this? Or is it hush hush because it's GM's money?

Orlando Attractions Magazine has posted two videos of the "Test Track All Stars" a capella group. Their song list appears to be all car-related:

I just want to know if the rumor is true that Test Track will have a new scene at the end that is similar to the end scene of World of Motion where you go through a futuristic TRON-esque scene where you see the cars of tomorrow.

Not sure where such a scene would fit.

This came from people joking on twitter about possible additions. Can't happen. Ride track is remaining the same.

Dang, They won't be continuing the swirl logo motif from Spaceship Earth.

GM is no longer owned by the gov't. The US gov't now own shares of stock that they can sell at anytime.

They're not gonna keep that up all the way 'till September - are they??? Omg

 

[HMF]

only on these boards do people hope for a rushed-job producing an unfinished product. Realize, this is probably the only refurbishment we will see on Test Track for another 10+ years. I hope they take their time and give us a great show rather than rush to appease complaining guests, leaving us to enjoy an unfinished ride for the next decade (as has already happened elsewhere in recent refurbishments).

Bingo! It is what is hurting WDW more than anything else.

Perhaps even longer. Take that "September 30" end date posted on disneyworld.com with a HUGE grain of salt.

Nah it was on some website and I think hinted at by people here last year. It doesn't have to be at the end it could replace one of the show scenes before the race around the outside of the building. Or they could just dress up the room just as you reenter the building and come down to the ending with video screens and fiber optics or whatever they like to use now adays.

I guess Chevrolet is paying for them as well... However, I don't think it will draw as large crowds as the ride itself... :lookaroun

I might be looking TOO MUCH into it but if you look at the banner in front of Test Track is that the old World of Motion Symbol on the left and the new Circular TT logo on the right (They are abit faint in the picture they look like tires)

Here is the new Banner: http://twitter.com/#!/attractions/status/191886112313196545/photo/1/large

It looks like it could be, but with it cut off it is kind of hard to tell.

Talented, but...

Well, this is Disney's answer to the closing of TT. Hmmmmm...:hurl:

 

[bethymouse]

Thank you GoofyDad!

Thanks for your kind remarks GoofyDad.
Well then I'll open another can of worms.:lol:
Suppose the newly reimagined TT by Chevrolet will have "soft openings" for Friday, Sept. 28th's F&W Fest?:goodnevil
Where did I see November 30th?
Oh well. happy debating...

There will definitely be a Tron-esque scene.
Don't know if you will see any cars of tomorrow at that point, though.
