Test Track refurb???

[towerofterror8]

Meh. Bright and loud is for IoA. EPCOT, FW, is about careful design, flowing lines, subtlety, elegance through restraint.

I know i'll love it when i see it but i guess i'll just have to wait. Until I go again i will have watched it on youtube 100 times.

Do you think there will be a little something in the ride hinting to bill McKim.

Probably

Does anyone else like this carpet as much as I do?

That's funny...I was looking at the other pic that has the carpet in it and I was thinking that's some dope carpet! Props to the interior imagineer designer!

Looks fantastic. Keep in mind, the work lights are on in these pictures. Under show lighting it will look unreal.

Ya exactly what I was thinking. I don't like they way it looks now but I know it is going to look a lot different with the work lights off.

They are in Warren, MI ... and they do stuff like this (and more) for just about every Auto Show, every year.

So GM is beating WDI at their own game too?

 

[JEANYLASER]

Probably

Does anyone know how this driving table works? Is it holograms, projections, or what?

My guess is projection

^All of the above pictures are the queue. For reference, the entrance to the building is to the left of the photographer in the first photo. Fastpass and Single Rider is straight ahead to the left. Standby is straight ahead and curves right. The next picture is further along in the queue looking more toward your right as you enter the bulding with the last one showing the rest of the Standby queue prior to entering the former soundproof room.

This is the room directly after the photo viewing area. For reference, the photo viewing area is straight ahead and to the right with the photographer looking back toward where he/she came from. This is where you see how your design scored.

This photo is the next room in the post show. Based on the previous photo, the photographer essentially did a 180 degree turn. Yes, it really is that open. This area used to be the Hydrogen car model diagram area that most people skipped over. Off camera to the right is a doorway that leads to the former car showroom which is where the other photos were taken.

I'm glad everyone is agreeing with how amazing it looks. I just hope with all the technology that there isn't too many glitches once it is open. Based on how things area going, I'm not so sure.

Some of those pictures were from the queue and not the post-show.

edit: beaten!

The team who made this new Test Track need to be in charge of every EPCOT attraction.

That would be your General Motors design team.

Wait, so it's the same day as the official opening of the New Fantasyland??

And Splitsville?

 

[jt04]

And Splitsville?

And announcements about the future?

Epcot-y Test Track (pictures are promising)

The FLE and the domino effect for the rest of the MK I predicted?

The forshadowing provided by Splitsville for DTD?

Someday you folks will thank me.

Until then they tell me they have to put me back in the medically induced coma. Not much fun but boy does the time fly. Until next time.....

 

[flynnibus]

And Splitsville?

[montyz81]

Wow wow. I hope this spreads to imagination the UoE, an (one can only hope) the destruction is M:S back to its original tenant.

 

[towerofterror8]

[Gregoryp73]

Anyone post this one yet??

Sorry if the pic doesn't come out

edit* My guess is yes, it looks like part of some of the old design pics. Kinda neat to compare to the finished pics coming out

 

[c-one]

Lol of all the times I rode test track I don't think I ever went through the stand by queue. I guess I missed a lot. Didnt know there was a sound proof room.

I'm old enough to remember when the Fastpass line (or was it the Single Rider line?) didn't even go inside the building until the preshow room. Just waited outside listening to the loud cars go by just above you.
