Test Track refurb???

[Alektronic]

Is it me or does something different about the car itself, the body style? I cant remember for sure, but I thought the old Test Track versions had a bigger "Trunk" or the seats were positioned closer to the front.

Nope, same exact car just a new paint job/wrap to be able to "glow in the dark".

Is it luminescent paint, or are the cars painted to allow projection onto them by the attraction?
As I understood it, the attractions party piece will be the ability for the cars to change appearance thanks to high-tech tracking projection onto the ride vehicle body panels.

What's a brutha' gotta do to get some spinners on there? Well at least the paint scheme is faithful to the concept art.

Nov. 21st is what I've heard from multiple CM sources.

Bingo! And if all goes well, we could be looking at soft openings the week before...IF, again, everything goes well.

They're gunna finish this by the skin of their teeth...

Still largely the same out front.

You missed a BIG detail out front then. I'm really surprised no one has gotten any pics of the new construction outside...being a completely new entrance and all haha...

Alektronic probably has more details/specifics on this, but the way it was explained to me was through blacklight for something in specific and the latter of what you mentioned. Almost sounded like a combo of both.

haha yes, since they demolished the entrance and have it behind tarps

Not entirely demolished, at least as from what I can see...

The biggest thing is to note is them destroying a big chunk of the wall that was there before that held up the giant mirror. Right there, they are welding a large semi-circular overhang of some kind in that area, that have sides reaching the ground in an interesting angle.

To say that alone changes the industrial garage entrance feel into something modern and sleek is an understatement.

I just hope they have new music in the queue. I remember waiting in line for 2 hours once, because the ride kept stopping due to rain, and having to listen to those weird sounds, over and over again! Can't even explain the sounds, but it makes me cringe to this day!

hoping for Daft Punk music to go with the Tron-like looks.

That's what I've heard as well

As in official opening date or soft openings then? Hoping I can ride it when I'm there Nov 14th...

Ha! I have a nine year old that can't get enough of the clinking and clanking of the Test Track queue. He's even asked to hear it at home.

I hope to be down there in January for work (my once a year 1 week job inside the park) so hopefully I'll be able to take a lunch and or after work ride on TT.

 

[JEANYLASER]

thanks!

Just talked to a cm yesterday and she said the outside construction was already supposed to be finished by the end of September! So she is skeptical that its gonna open on time! She also said they have been doing a lot of work on the interior!

Yeah the new test track they said the end of November not September! Mickeysbrother!

With the new entrance being constructed, the canopy looks even more horrid than it ever did.

Hopefully, it won't last much longer.

There are a lot of the Track CMs that are very skeptical about it, I don't blame them. However, its officially gone into a 24/7 operation for the past week or two, so that should help greatly.

As for the interior, like I said before, walls, walls, walls everywhere...
