That will be good then.
I was watching the Test Track Ultimate Tribute by Martin Smith and apperantly the original idea for Test Track was riding around in rocket sleds through a futuristic workshop so anything that gets us closer to that instead of doing boring tests in a barren building will be a step up in my opinion.

I agree. You can kind of see it, but it's hard to say. It'd be a really nice homage, as well as a really nice direction back to the uniformed/futuristic theme of FW.
God I hope not.
Again, a new brass band a la Future Corps would be less corny and less "pitchy". Perhaps this was something Chevrolet asked for? Or rather, maybe even Disney asked CM to fund some sort of temporary entertainment to distract angry tourists and this was all GM could come up with/want to spare cash for?

Nope.
It will be an actual scene you drive through, but it appears as though there will be screens, too.

This is crazy... http://www.avconcepts.com/holographic-projection/
If anything like this gets used in Test Track's refurb it get's my automatic A++.
If you want to see it used in real life look up Tupac Coachella 2012 on youtube. Technology is amazing.

You can also see this used in Disaster at Universal as well as in the queue line for Forbiden Journey.

Doesn't Harry Potter & The Forbidden Journey already use this technology. It's nothing new.

Definitely not brand new technology, but still something I foresee being used for the refurb. Perhaps in the "Tron-ish" scenes?

That's the kind of entertainment I can't watch for more than a minute before I start to feel embarrassed for the performers.
I admit, I only watched the first couple of minutes. Maybe it gets better later in the video?

I know but imagine...
You design your SimCar and then you could actually see it when you walk up to board. It would be awesome..

The only one in that video dressed professionally is the lead singer in the middle. The others look like they came to work in there street clothes and why the hell are they wearing lab coats? I'm embarassed and i'm watching them from far away on a computer screen :lol:

Similar concept, but significantly updated. Instead of just mirrors and projectors it uses semi-transparent foil and some other significant technology to give depth and crispness to the projections so they seem to be there, not just ghosts.

The Test Track All Stars seem like it was entirely created by Chevy. I mean, Disney's street shows aren't always the greatest, but this seems like something you would see on The Simpsons as a parody.
...maybe they sound better in person?

Maybe they'll have a Haunted Mansion esqe final scene where you are riding in your designed car...ala mirrors and such...not sure how they would get all six peoples designs in unless it's by vote.
Also I would think that a tronish element would be something before the final run...like a natural progression into the highway of the future. If they added Glowing LED along the track it would make a pretty sweet night picture spot. It wouldn't take much to add lighting and such to really spruce that up.

Ya that was terrible and no it doesn't get any better.
I don't have anything really in particular against this form of entertainment but it is more than nothing. I hate the cheap plug at the end of tell Guest Services.
Guessing this means it is just a very temp way for Disney to hype up the reopening.
No one should ever complain about the Frog Choir at The Wizarding World again.
They should of named this band The Nye Five.
