I grew up in Detroit and I still live in the area ... and our company has shot a ton if not all of the footage you will see as part of the re-imagined test track.
However ... You of all people should know the value of anonimity
... If I, like you, were to tell everything I knew about a project then it's quite possible either of us, or our contacts would still be employed once we did ... the "tron' overlay is just basic a theme to the overall overhaul. Without reiterating what I said when I initially posted about WDI's first visit to Design last year ... A few additional things that I have heard in and around the halls at design that I dont think have been mentioned here before are that each car is (possibly) being upgraded with a new soundsystem for a new audio score, windtunnel testing will be added, and some new VR tech that GM designed for pre-vis testing it's vehicles that will be integrated into the overall show (which is very cool tech if you ever have the opportubity to see it). Visually the new upgrades will be very impressive, a lot of eye candy for you to take in as you travel thru the pavilion, but an old school attraction with AA's and Omnimovers this will not be. These are a few little things (in addition to everything else) that when combined should make for a much better and much upgraded experience. I dont claim this will be the messiah of theme park rides, but to dismiss it as just being some paint and lighting isn't really fair.
TDO doesnt want RSR on property becaue of the cost, plain and simple, will it impact TT's numbers? If it ever happens then I hope so. Because by that logic it should spur them into increasing attractions in what once was a headliner park that wasnt driven by festivals for attendance.
My whole initial point was that a certain poster used the debochery of a 'Live Chat' interview on a Disney funded blog site to base their opinion on and I didnt think that was warranted.
