Then why are we talking about it closing everytime it rains due to "mud"?
We aren't. One or two people said that and were quickly told that wouldn't be a thing.

So you're saying we will spontaneously combust due to a lack of AC in the ride vehicles? I hadn't even considered that.Anyone else getting Skyliner vibes from this thread?
It's all what about this issue and what about that issue? As if there aren't professional engineers/imagineers with years of experience working on this that haven't thought of these issues.
The Skyliner is a widely deployed system from a major vendor that has been selling such systems for nearly a century. This is a first ever public installation possibly using a system from a manufacturer that’s been mired the past few years in the consequences of over-promising.Anyone else getting Skyliner vibes from this thread?

I'm pretty sure that is the same video Dynamic showed at IAAPA when they pitched this system like ~7 years agoWhat is interesting is that Disney's own coverage of this event doesn't mention the test video, unless it will get it's own video release soon, and the panel was not supposed to be recorded, so the test footage was not meant to be publicly viewed at this stage (just for those attending the panel)
It won't be closed every time it rains due to mud. It will be closed every time it rains due to ~ rain.Then why are we talking about it closing everytime it rains due to "mud"?
Ridiculously often. And they are not cheap.How often does Test Track have to replace its tires? Isn't that track concrete?

It’s a terrible move for shareholders - a waste of money. If cars need to be in MK update the speedway.
The dirt track experience testing footage is not from Dynamic Attractions’ promotional materials.I'm pretty sure that is the same video Dynamic showed at IAAPA when they pitched this system like ~7 years ago
The ole' bait and switch.Or build “Beyond Big Thunder”…actually, you know, *beyond* Big Thunder, and not smack dab in front of it.
I don't believe this has been confirmed.if the ride vehicles will be just following a linear path in this attraction
So, here's a question-if the ride vehicles will be just following a linear path in this attraction, why is a trackless system needed? As we've seen in every attraction with the trackless system, it allows them to have ride vehicles moving in ways that a linear track could never do, and usually in an larger, non-linear space. If this attraction is just cars moving on a linear track, why not use the same or similar system that TT/DCA Cars uses? Is it simply to make the attraction look more "real" and eliminate the slot in the track that makes it less immersive?
That’s what I don’t get…. If you notice the slot it’s a really boring ride haha.This a good question. Seems to be a lot of risk just to eliminate the slot which most people probably don't even remember being there once the ride is over.
Looks like this system can achieve bigger elevation changes. From the concept art it appears there will be a lot of that along the ride pathSo, here's a question-if the ride vehicles will be just following a linear path in this attraction, why is a trackless system needed?

The Test Track ride system doesn’t give the feeling of going off-road.The novelty of “this doesn’t have a track” is a gimmick.
It’s not going to have the show scenes of RSR. It’s not going to have the thrill of RSR.
It’s not going to truly “let it rip.”
They had a ride system they thought would be cool to use, and are choosing to use it, instead of building an experience, then finding an appropriate ride system.
Snakes? I hope there will be snakesThe Test Track ride system doesn’t give the feeling of going off-road.
This ride promises to be an off-road race, climbing and descending hills, in an electric car (torquey!), geysers splashing you with water, animatronics of Cars characters spectating the race, while nobody is behind the wheel?!
This thing is going to be a blast and I couldn’t be more excited for it! I’m also thankful we aren‘t getting a clone of RSR.
Hope? This is Florida.Snakes? I hope there will be snakes
