Their are a lot more changes in store than your simplistic description. You however will have to wait and see for yourself. It will be a much different ride than before, yes you will be traveling the same direction, but that is the extent of the similarities. But hey if you want to insist on having tunnel vision about this project then it will be your loss of what will be a great attraction with some incredible tech and scenery.
If you had Wings and Dreamflight fit your description, heck, so does Buzz Lightyear except for the guns. All of them were exactly the same ride track, same setup, same layout, but different scenery.
I am in complete amazement that my personal opinion on this matter means this much to everyone. Really. I'm impressed.
But here's the thing... my riding the ride, or not, should not factor into anyone else's day. Period. I gave my two cents, others gave theirs. End of story. Apparently my lack of enthusiasm at a much hyped, yet actually not so much, complete overhaul of a ride has touched a nerve with some here. According to the people participating in the Disney Parks Blog that are working on the project, (yes, see, I didn't just pull details from thin air. I actually read what the people in charge of the attraction overhaul said they are doing to the ride.
) they are only changing the scenery, ride queue, and vehicle exterior. Oh yeah, and adding in a small plus in the form of limited ride interaction. This is not a complete overhaul of the ride.
Now, can those of you that claim to not care what others think please stop berating me for my
opinions? Thanks. You don't see me claiming that you are blind sheep and are happy with whatever gets tossed your way do you? No.
Now, on with people's
opinions. (unless that is too much for others to handle on a
forum?)
According to Melissa Jesselnick:
**The queue space will be used to introduce guests to Chevrolet’s Automotive Design process and how it starts with a line and ends with the cars you can buy on the showroom floor. There will be actual sketches, cars, models from GM that have never been seen before by anyone outside the Chevrolet family.
Albeit a quieter queue line I suppose.
**There will be four show scenes. Capability is where your car is tested for rough road and weather conditions. Efficiency tests your car design's environmental footprint. The Responsiveness phase tests maneuverability, and finally, Speed is tested.
Same track, same obstacles. Just named something different.
**The track layout will remain the same as the original Test Track.
No complete overhaul. Just new scenes, new paint.
See. I did read about it.
