I was just watching an old test track video and the vechicle in the barrier test as you round the corner before you head outside moves forward several feet and you can see the front end crumple. Why is it that now when you come around the corner, you see the test crash right after its happened and the vehicle doesn't move, it just shakes a little. Why would they have removed that cool effect? :)

It broke, extremely expensive to fix, and even then it would break within days. they came up with a solution that didn't cost a fortune and didn't break constantly.

I agree that was a cool effect. I wish they would have put a little more thought into fixing it right. If it was unreliable and expensive find a better way, its Disney for crying out loud, Thats what they do, make the impossible possible.

Exactly. It happens all the time at WDW (look at how many attractions there are and how many things can go wrong in each... :eek: ) Heck, the gangster car in the gangster scene at The Great Movie Ride has been working more often than not since August because Maintenance finally got an important piece that helps it move.

This seems to happen alot with disney rides over time. Remember the EVIL TOwer UR DOOMED thing at ToT, is that still missing?

And I agree that was a cool effect, the effect they have now does the job, but its not as cool.

Apparently that ToT message was placed there by CM's, and not approved by WDI, so it was removed. That's what I heard anyway.

Although I miss it dearly and still check everytime. It really added a nice touch.

I liked it, but will agree it didn't fit in.
It was more that certain people were evil and not the tower.
