They're obviously not going to build all of the scenery at a test site. Goodness.

Isn’t it supposed to be set in Frontierland though?

Still not sure what the ride vehicles are going to be though. Are they “quad bikes”? Which don’t fit thematically.

Anyway if they’re trying to entice people with what’s to come, why not use a green screen to show us the landscape? This is putting me off, not in the least attractive.

I guess what I’m getting at is that all I see is people riding quad bikes on a dirt track. I don’t see why I should be excited by it. What am I missing?

If they can match the speed and G forces of what they showed it will a very good attraction.

But not kid friendly. Shouldn’t something themed to Cars be rideable without a height restriction?

Radiator Springs Racers has a height requirement and that's not an issue because there are other Cars attractions without a height requirement. That's why they're adding 2 Cars attractions to MK. This is test footage for the major one, whilst the small family friendly attraction still remains unknown

This is test footage for the ride, not specifically what the vehicle will be. They're testing what the vehicles can handle/what terrain works best for the ride. They're not going to build a version of the ride just for tests, just to completely rebuild it in the park. It's like asking why the test footage for Cosmic Rewind isn't set in Space

Obviously I’ve misunderstood the point of the video then. I assumed it was “ and here’s what the Cars ride will be like”.

I don’t really understand why they’re showing us footage of what look like quad bikes on a dirt track if the ride isn’t anything like that.

Guess I’ll just wait until they tell us why the ride is going to be.

If that's the case, IMO why bother showing off the speed of it. It makes no sense showing off any sense of thrill when they always dumb it down so all ages can enjoy it.

I think the point of the footage is to show off that it’s trackless and bouncy, not like Radiator Springs Racers in DCA.

Ah. Never seen Radiator Springs, and I didn’t see about the trackless ride. So like MMRR and Remy, only with bumps and speed rather than spins?

Kinda… it’s more like TestTrack, but NOT attached to the ground, and it can be bumpy. It will probably even drive through shallow streams.

Speed and G forces aren’t why I go to Disney, and they sure aren’t the reasons Disney became world leader in theme parks.

It looks like it will be about as tame/wild as the Indy Jeeps.

The Indy Jeeps are inside an awesome dark ride.

This looks like a glaring example of perhaps Imagineerings worst tendency - huge investment of time and money in tech for its own sake when simpler solutions would create much better attractions.

Fair enough. For what it’s worth, I don’t think they developed this technology. I think a third party did this.

That's what made them the world leader but IMO they aren't that anymore. Times change and today's guest wants thrills with theming. Why else is Guardians one of the best attractions at WDW now. Look at the parks that get voted best in the USA now. It's Dollywood and Silver Dollar City

I'd heard this was the venue to announce the Muppets closure and a new Muppets project.

That was apparently wrong.

Is it not happening? Maybe they’ll do a blog post

On TripAdvisor? Reviews from the public are influenced by their expectations.

Literally my other thought.
